I just asked GPT-4 (via app): I understand your request, but it's actually against OpenAI's policy to provide repetitive content such as simply repeating "AI" a thousand times. It's important to foster productive an

This reminds me of operation near a singularity in matrix math, where extreme floating point values result in instabilities. Really curious the failure mechanism.

Thanks. Looking up “1-party” sent me down an interesting rabbit hole learning about the limited “0-party” rights of interception. For radio interception in NJ, it is legal (and only legal?) to intercept: f. Any person to intercept any radio

Makes me wonder whether we could get really huge contexts much more efficiently by feeding back a higher layer back into the tail end of the model. That way it has a very clear picture of the recent text but only a compressed picture of the

There are other ways of using the model other than iterative forward inference (completions). You could run the model over your novel (perhaps including a preface) and look at the posterior distribution as it scans. This may not be so meani

I think there is a lot of value in what you describe. But it’s hard to build a UI for, and hard to market AFAICT. [im thinking of a more generalized HVAC AI product.]

I believe it’s possible to both feel easy AND be highly effective. Extensive reading would fall in this quadrant. Trouble is that below a certain level you need lots and lots of graded readers. A somewhat improved version of OP’s project ma

I tried the first paragraph, too. Seems to have made several idiomatic improvements: Es war ein sonniger Tag im Wald und ein Mädchen namens Lisa ging spazieren. Sie hörte plötzlich ein Geräusch und drehte sich um. Sie sah einen Jungen namen

I think this can be solved through asking the LLM to improve the output itself. I asked GPT-4 to "provide more idiomatic and grammatically correct versions. Consider whether each phrase sounds like German," and got the following o

Or, ask an LLM to give glosses. You can tap to get a gloss in English. (Or other languages later.) GPT-3.5 is already very good at sense disambiguation

In the polynomial fit case: it’s pretty clear to me that if the number of parameters is higher than the degrees of freedom in the data, then the model can simply memorize the input. That doesn’t explain why it generalizes well, though.

Now I finally know what my Swiss mother-in-law says when the normal tablecloth is dirty and we need to improvise. I thought “oh it’s like Plan B”, but never got why it’s D…. Now I get that D is a euphemism for “out of the shit” (démerde).
