I would say GP is in the wrong, based on their explanation. I think this type of thing is not okay. (The "I told my friends and they made a comment innocently"). You're basically causing activity that goes against the spiri

They did remove it. Note that it says unauthenticated JSON access. You can't get the data if you didn't authenticate. On that note, X.com seems to be doing the opposite — you can only see this page if you DIDN'T log in...

I've already had to add code to "normalize" addresses with dots and plusses. That should've been my first sign to move to a different design.

I’ve helped someone do this in a pinch for a visa, but the guidelines explicitly forbade using an AI, including to touch up photos. As the rules catch up, you’re going to be doing this kind of thing at your own risk. I can’t imagine governm

That’s the problem. If all (or zero) models were trained on it, it would be fine as a benchmark.

Is the model "thinking of the last word for the next line already" or is "the word that came last in the second line was already showing high p from considering only the first line"? Shouldn't we care about such a d

If you have round laces, Ian’s knot reliably comes undone. Ian’s secure shoelace knot is better in that case, though it’s slightly slower and trickier to do. The double Ian knot is interesting too, but it (and several other alternatives) wo

We care indirectly through cost. Hydroelectric, solar, or wind power are often among the cheapest electricity sources, for example. Beyond that, no we don't care. That's why if people want change we leverage policy on cost, via su

Try it without "reasoning". As you can see in my example (and GP), it meanders to correctness eventually after emphatically being wrong, and most reasoning modes hide that from you. If LLMs worked the way people want to believe th
