I even see the Gemini diamond watermark on so many fake social media profile pictures. You could ask an LLM to find a github project that removes/inpaints those watermarks and be done with it. Or you could just use the API, which doesn

It's because things change, things break, they are misconfigured etc. Yes, if you have perfect deterministic tools in an unchanging and perfect environment, sure. But the deterministic tools need constant maintenance, fixing, reconfigu

The main role of the harness is not any kind of moderation or alignment, but simply making a text generation engine do anything other than output a long stream of text. It's like saying that the role of a car's wheel is to hold wh

Without a harness, all an LLM can do is output text tokens. Nothing else. It's the harness that allows it to read a file, write a file, run commands, start subagents. But even a simple chat application would need a harness, because som

This is why I hate online arguments. I didn't say earliest, but to give a pointer to the general era, and make it clear how standard the concepts are. They are part of undergrad, it's basic things. I'm not asking for a deep l

The overall message and impression of a text has to give the right picture regarding what's new, where the info comes from, etc. It's not about any kind of Google search. It's not about extra info. It's about intellectua

A short paragraph at the end on the origin of these ideas can be an easy way to dispel the misconception of potential beginner readers that the insights are novel.

"Understanding" is clearly linked to compression. Taking observations and coming up with a more compact representation that explains them, analogous to coming up with a compact set of axioms that generate facts, or a small Turing

Because it's a buzzword. It causes buzz. Putting it together with "world" makes it buzz even more because people want to talk about world models all the time (it doesn't matter what the actual input and output is, just t

Of course it is but again "X is just Y" is often used to mislead. A brain is just neurons! A computer is just transistors! An LLM just predicts the next token! It's just like a parrot! It's just like a blurry jpeg of the

I'm of two minds here. The pro is that the "you could have invented this" walkthrough from first principles is more engaging than "and then so and so introduced this term in 1972 and the definition is such and such"

Citing 2023 makes it seem like this is newer than it is. Compression, prediction and intelligence have long been known to be deeply connected.

Not bad, but Claude is not quite good yet for writing these explainers. We should try again in a few months with newer models.

Human workers also wreck these jobs horribly that come to bite your ass in the end. I think an intelligent person equipped with AI and common sense and real stake in the thing being well done (because it's their own, so they care) is b

It's more obvious, but since people use their phones all the time anyway, you really have to look at the angle they hold the phone to be sure. So it's not super hard to be sneaky about it even with a phone.

by bonoboTP 2mo ago
Phones already make people much more reserved and less "wild" eg at parties compared to pre-phone-cameras (that are always online and can upload to social media effortlessly).

Well, they don't see it as privileges, but accommodations for a health condition. The measurement method needs to be adjusted when the health condition is present, to make the same kind of determination about the acquired knowledge. Ex

Well, the prevailing wisdom is that these accommodations improve fairness. To confront that way of seeing things is an uphill battle in the current intellectual environment.

The LLM doesn't have to be the sole single only exclusive source you learn from. It's an addition to a mix. Nothing is a single definitive answer. Same way as many other things, like Anki flashcards or Duolingo or some YouTube cha

It is sometimes typos, but even those can be confusing. But okay I'll admit books are usually on the end of simplification, at least for hard sciences. But sometimes they do handle the edges of the authors knowledge and sometimes misco
