It's you. The benchmarks don't matter much. We have very little hands on experience with this thing yet. Give it a few days, and be cranky then. Right now, it seems it is getting close to Fable level while being 2x cheaper. That&#

An opus is just short for "magnum opus", and it's a different type of label than a sonnet. A sonnet is a very particular kind of poem, while "opus" basically just means an important work. It can be short or long, an

I think these versions are largely about marketing and what image they want to project. Bumping the major version indicates/suggests that it's a bigger change in user value. I don't think the technical details matter here for

Because "model card" is a set phrase, it's a concept. It originates from a time when they were shorter. Like datasheets, even if it's not literally a sheet. They could say "tech report" but model card makes it

Obviously. Artistic value is not in the object, but in the relationships to other humans. The point is not Monet but the people you discuss Monet with. Monet is a tribal rallying point you can synchronize around. AI is not as good for this,

Ok, the boring way would be a subset of XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL like clothes sizes. But it loses some marketing appeal and a quirky touch of personality that companies like. Some models like ViTs use something similar but then introduce w

Right. But you'll never have a checker for that. How do you check for the overall idea being AI-shaped? It's a much deeper check than style, even typing patterns or anything like that. If I consult the chatbot, then memorize the o

Ok so what if I just rephrase the essay that the LLM gave me, while keeping all the overall message and ideas and arguments, just slightly rewritten in my own words, but without having any idea about what it all really means and whether it&

It's really not all that confusing. It takes 5 minutes to understand. Optimizing for absolutely no effort needed is silly. It's a thing, a topic, a skill, a domain. You have to get a little bit familiar with the terms in order to

You can just read the part that interests you. There's a table of contents.

I've had quite some success during my CS BSc math classes with inventing/using verbose but clearer notation and rewriting things more explicitly, programming things up, playing with Mathematica etc. For example, Fourier is more cl

The classic. If there is one concept people should learn from stats it should be base rates and the Bayes update. It's very difficult to teach though. The mind just jumps to that interpretation, and even if you teach it, people just go

What matters is their connections to powerful people. That's what you buy.

Sounds a bit like casting lingo in performing arts, but other than that, not sure what you're hinting at.

My solution: stuff the clothes from the washer into the dryer, then stuff them into my wardrobe. I buy clothes that don't get wrinkled much even if simply shoved in the wardrobe and if they do, I tolerate it and wear them anyway.

I did a PhD, so not external. Sure one doesn't have to be maximally cynical but a lot of it is self promotion. And in context: the same can be said about Kaggle, about Youtubers, about music creators etc. Every endeavor is a mix of &qu

I don't think it has much to do with tweets, but the flag planting is correct. You have to timestamp your idea because otherwise if you're too slow, the community doesn't much care about "pretty much same idea but now do

Academia is itself self promotion. Conferences, publications, talks, all of it.

Art mediates human values and broadcasts judgments about the good life, how to live, what is worthy, what is looked up to or down on. Yes, even uptown funk does that, it communicates a lifestyle ideal, whether the audience thinks about it i

If pinning website bookmarks was more prominently advertised in the UI, they would be fine with it I guess. Though it would need some more changes. Why do people like apps? Because they can put it on their home screen, they can open the app

Ask Claude to code it up, then it's also easy.

There are activities that are quite autopilot, like vacuuming, washing dishes etc. Such activities have always allowed for listening to language, typically in a group. Of course this is not for difficult math textbooks or dense philosophy.

You can try, but it only works when you have shared values. When deep values are contested it's harder to put differences aside. For example, I don't want to bring up hot button issues, but some years ago there was a wave of polit

It's pointless to try to separate things as political or non-political. You always have politics when you have deep disagreement, especially on values, among people who interact. Keeping things non-political at least implicitly means y

Funny you think they think that. They just want control.

The bad consequences are diffuse, abstract and distant (conspiracy-looking, tinfoil-like), while it's very easy to viscerally understand that "even if they just save one child, it's already worth it". They should give pr

I live in a country with free college. It still delays maturation and life stages and makes the youth unproductive in their prime years. For some fields it's clearly important, you can't learn everything about bridge design and ci

It's a bit phosophical though. If you had a huge cohort of smart and capable people on the job market who didn't go to college, the job market would adjust its requirements. Currently the filter regarding a degree gives high enoug
