Well, I'm sure you understand that there is a broader theme here, given how central it has been to public discourse and lawmaking in the last several years. But should that not be the case, here's data collected via cell-phone tha

Yes, there are many reasonable arguments. For example: your data is sold to third parties you don't know, and they use it against you or in unethical ways. For example, visiting a mental health clinic might mean your car insurance rate

Thanks for sharing that. I've experienced this many times as I used to drive a lot at night. To me it was like half of my mind falling asleep while the other half followed the white line for hours. I used to drive close to 70k miles at

The MBA theory is a limited take. The broader take is that these companies have become bloated with mediocre talent in the era of highly leveraged investment in the games industry, when "money was cheap". It made good business sen

That's what "digital ownership" is these days. The companies will outright tell you that you are "purchasing an item" and that you "own it" in your library. But will bury deep in ToS that it's a revoc

Thank you for improving it and taking feedback well. Now it’s a product I’d consider using. There may be further value in providing ATS capability to recruiters — a tool that maybe sorts hundreds of resumes by various criteria a recruiter i

Well, you should see the link :) Having ATS-based screening or research-based screening would be fantastic. But this is a thin wrapper on an LLM. I build AI products in a known company and experiment on my own time. It is really easy to bui

Seems a bit aggrandized. Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, climate change, app-tier pricing packages. You are very likely providing a thin layer on an LLM which does summarization based on criteria. It would be reasonable if that's either a

Interesting, I didn’t hear about few shot prompting. There’s a ton of stuff written on specifically “priming” as well. People use different terms I suppose. It makes sense about the context window length, it can be limiting. For small input

You can be better and nice.

by caseyy 3y ago
Oh yeah. I read few-shot like it means trying a few times to get an appropriate output. That’s how the author uses the word “shot” in the beginning of the article. Priming is a specific term that means giving examples in the context window.

Interesting ideas but it didn’t mention priming, which is a prompt-engineering way to improve consistency in answers. Basically, in the context window, you provide your model with 5 or more example inputs and outputs. If you’re running in c

The gut flora-brain link is always tenuous and indirect. But I think there are many ways one would affect the other. Stress affects the sympathetic neural system, limiting vasodilation in the gut, reducing the immune system’s cell access to

There are many statistical distributions and power laws in nature. The distance between neurons doesn’t have to follow a normal distribution any more than it could follow the long tail distribution. The other common distributions are often

My work demands that I generate large amounts of data and I don’t know how much I’ll have to generate up-front. So I run out of disk space a lot. My experience is that Windows and many of its programs will become very unstable with 0 b on t

Windows with NTFS will also break in mysterious ways when the system disk is full. There was a time when OSs could deal with the system disk being full quite well. And not so long ago.

HN bias in these statements is wild. The average 30-year old probably has closer to $5k in savings and somewhere around that in net worth.

"Better" is such a subjective word in AI. I don't think it will be better than GPT4 in most areas. It's very difficult to imagine 3b or less being good in the general domain without some kind of current-day-math-subverti

It seems to me like neuroticism isn’t fixed in people. Perhaps there are genetic predispositions, but it seems to me like it can be learned at certain stages in life, and later unlearned as a set of behaviors.

Could be risky to put a person known for victimizing themselves on the spot. That can even blow up in ways not limited to the company. I do agree with the sentiment of addressing things head-on, but these employees can be very delicate. Thi
