agree to disagree. encoding a meaning is understanding. I cited a source using the word in the same way.

A the time, it was a free language translation tool. You weren't paying for transformers in 2017.

Id really invite people to read the google blog post. https://research.google/blog/transformer-a-novel-neural-netw... Google chose the word understanding.

Semantics. Its a encoded position that represents meaning in a way that is useful and reusable. That is "understanding." It's a mathematical representation of grasp.

It's honestly disheartening and a bit shocking how everyone has started repeating the predict the next syllable criticism. The language model predicts the next syllable by FIRST arriving in a point in space that represents UNDERSTANDIN

But .. how do you know? It says it wrote code, but it could just be text and markdown and template. It could just be predicting what it looks like to run code. Mine also gave me 42 before I specified 1-10. Does it always start with 42 thin

I think of it as supersedes the comma in the order of operations. You work inward, or outward (depending which way you read the list.)

For me, a sequence of sentences, strung together by commas, is more in line with how I output thought, and better matches what I believe my speech pattern is.

thats one use for it. supercomma is another.

Can they not invoke the defense act without the public spat? Gag order?

Since its unclear whats going on, Gemini first gave me some python. import random random_number = random.randint(1, 10) print(f"{random_number=}") Then it stated the output. Code output random_number=8 "This time, the dice la

Without reading every word of every embedded tweet, a part missing from the conversation is HOW they are strongarming. It isn't in private. It's a public threat in the court of public opinion to apply societal pressure on the comp

I guess at a high level im thinking about what kind of running systems are the easiest to edit as they execute. Maybe I should have even picked clojure for being homoiconioc and not needing to be parst into an ast. The LLM can traverse, p

same character, used differently? i call it a super comma when its separating a list with commas within the sets. so if i am listing colors like green, blue, red; foods like apple, orange, strawberry; and seasons like winter, summer, fall.

are there really places that a comma, super-comma; or (parenthesis) dont work roughly as well? I find the em-dash mildly abhorrent, even before this all.

Probably better could have described it as the distance between the pegs being the model weight, and the prompt defines the shape of the coin you’re dropping down. I was half asleep when I wrote it the first time and knew it wasn’t what I w

Rust may be the darling of the moment, but Erlang is oft slept on. As AI makes human-readable syntax less relevant, the Erlang/Elixir BEAM virtual machine is an ideal compilation target because its "let it crash" isolated pro

Chromebooks are thin clients of sorts, its a web browser rendering google docs locally. If anything is making them slow its the javascript bloat of modern webapps that could be doing more serverside.

My mental model for them is plinko boards. Your prompt changes the spacing between the nails to increase the probability in certain directions as your chip falls down.

If you think about where in the training data there is positivity vs negativity it really becomes equivalent to having a positive or negative mindset regarding a standing and outcome in life.

Honesty this is just language models in general at the moment, and not just coding. It’s the same reason adding a thinking step works. You want to write a paper, you have it form a thesis and structure first. (In this one you might be bette

Hack on iOS has a significantly more intuitive thumb friendly interface. Even just clicking a comment to collapse. Little things.

Interestingly enough when you tell Facebook you’re not interested in a post you can answer why: doesn’t match interests, spam, sexual, insult, don’t like creator. One of those isn’t like the other. There’s a couple other pseudo-erudite slo
