You state there are benefits to alcohol. I specifically state there aren't based on the biological research I've read. That is directly addressing your point. EDIT: I don't see a 'reply' button beside those replying

My understanding is that the latest biological research is pretty clear: no amount of alcohol is better than none.

Related: Andrew Huberman's 2-hour blog post on the negative effects of alcohol[1] convinced me to stop drinking. Once you stop drinking, it becomes so easy to see just how much alcohol pervades popular culture. People drink constantly

I think there's something to be said about trying to build a Twitter-like, open source protocol.

I definitely got the inspiration there, though since then have seen quite a few business use cases for this as well... e.g., sales training, coaching, etc.

One of the things I regularly think about is the "Cafe of Broken Dreams". I've found myself in dive bars and coffee shops around the world that make me think, "Oh, wow, this is like the Cafe of Broken Dreams" when i

Have you tried using GPT-4 via Azure? My understanding is that it's faster and more reliable.

Those hacks are literally how a large language model using a transformer architecture to predict the next token in a sequence works. They take advantage of how a function choosing a token with maximal probability of appearing works.

I love these multi-step prompt 'hacks'. They very much take advantage of the fact that this is still 'just' a model predicting the next token. Asking a model to write an email as if it were written by Hemingway requires

AVs have also struggled with regulatory muddle, which is partly my point. Self-driving is very possible in many situations and if there was a "Manhattan Project" for self-driving to be up and running by 2025 I think we could do it

The first steam engines were also written off as being less powerful than a horse. The first electric motors were written off as being less powerful than steam engines. So it goes. I think both of these views can be true at the same time: C

I was going to ask the same thing -- maybe someone more astronomically inclined has an answer to this... If one were to take a phot of our solar system, would our asteroid belt really be dense enough to show up in any wavelengths?

The broader package I’m working on (PhaseLLM) is specifically focused on devtools for observability and robustness of LLM-powered products. I agree with you that there are lots issues with LLMs and taking them to production. I’m hoping prod

Totally appreciate the feedback and I agree with you that a well structured data set can be trivially analyzed. Heck, at that point you can use drag and drop stats packages too. The data set I used for the demo has strings for income categ

I'll use myself as an example. I love Pandas + Scikit Learn, but am by no means an expert. Every time I want to build a logistic regression, I have to go back to the docs to review the API. When I was doing my Master's degree in &

100% agree with you. There are two things driving my work with this demo: (1) A lot of researchers are bad at writing code, but they can audit it. This is true for sociologists, psychologists, etc. so I'm hoping something like this can

I don't have GPT-4 API access so can't comment on that yet. The code quality via chat has been comparable. One of my goals in the coming weeks (when I get access) is to formally run tests across the models.
