People have been rewarded in the past for being skeptical, and have learned this trick to a detriment to their own intellect. It is a very easy trap to confuse skepticism with expertise on the internet, and HN is one of the worst about this

I know we don't have access to the details at OpenAI - but it does seem like there have been significant changes to the BPE token size over time. It seems there is a push towards much larger tokens than the previous ~3 char tokens (at

It's extremely useful for publishing and downloading ML models. Huggingface and such are not going to be reliable, so it is a smart move to use academic torrents or ipfs instead.

Agreed, and it's really frustrating to see how little HN understands that decentralized != 'cryptocurrency' or blockchains. There's such an immense hatred due to laziness in categorizing anything remotely close to blockc

Iirc the scoping is also very strange. Certainly not as bad as mathematica, but bad nonetheless.

Aren't CRDTs more preferable for most open source projects such as databases for ML training, weights, etc? I think blockchains have some utility in that scope (perhaps at a meta level rather than all transactions). I would much prefe

Your job title is engineer because you went to a university and had to be educated in fields of study with real utility, such as statistics, topology, thermodynamics, kinetics, quantum mechanics, cellular biology, category theory, etc. Talk

I do agree that 'engineering' is an extremely offensive term to use for ... essentially 'how to ask for something with context'.

This isn't always true, especially not with gpt-4. Also, this isn't a proof really, or even evidence to show that it doesn't 'know' something. It appears to reason well about many tasks - specifically "under t

Can you prove that it actually "doesn't know anything"? What do you mean by that? Being critical does not make you educated on the subject. There are so many comments like this, yet never provide any useful information. S

You're missing the point entirely. Systems can have these unintended consequences very easily - and not necessarily from malicious actors. Non malicious users can easily cause catastrophic problems from simply setting up a system and s

I think the typical idea that most people realize (the likely scenario that non-malicous actors cause catastrophic problems in the real world) is similar to something like this setup: - A user prompts it to generate a business to make money
