The Response and Replication sections on Wikipedia seem far more skeptical and pessimistic about LK-99 than the average HN comment or news article.

What do you want your LLM to be? An entry-level employee, a friend, a mentor, an expert advisor? An unfiltered LLM might not be ideal for the workplace and a filtered LLM might not be ideal for personal use.

by awb 3y ago
For LLMs for personal/solo use, I agree. But in a professional setting there’s a level of professionalism that’s expected and in some cases required by law or management. The LLM isn’t a person, but it’s getting closer and closer to be

This looks nice and simple. I got frustrated with the invoicing landscape being too complex and pricy and have been using a Google Sheet for the last ~10 years. It has an export to PDF button and then I email the PDF to the client. It’s eas

And the domain is still Twitter.com. He owns X.com, which was supposed to be his “everything app”. Has that plan been scrapped or is this a phased launch?

What does “X” have to do with Twitter? X.com was supposed to be his “everything app”. Maybe Twitter will redirect to X.com down the line?

Sure, maybe it played a part, but to say that overgrazing that started 50 years prior was the “root cause” turns quite the blind eye to the Arab Spring: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Spring

Don’t most investigations get solved through a body, weapon, motive or confession? The body has already been autopsied. It would be crazy for the weapon to be found 27 years later. It would also be crazy for someone to have documented the c

I asked them a lot about WWII. But yeah, staying inside for a few weeks then going out but wearing masks or having to go to work or school on Zoom isn’t going to sound as Earth shattering as fascists almost taking the world by force.

It is a supply and demand effect. Prices aren’t generated based on a fixed markup over costs. It’s way more expensive to fly into smaller regional hubs like Charlotte because the supply of airlines that want to maintain a presence there is

They don’t. If a non-law officer says “come with me”, you don’t have to, but people do it anyway.

Private companies have no legal right to detain anyone. They probably intimidated him into coming with them and he agreed / complied.

The airline’s position is that it’s a contract. When you buy the ticket you agree in the T&C not to game the system. The other way to fix it would be to charge every leg at direct flight prices and then offer a rebate for completing you
