Three points to note: * "2 years vs 1 month" is a bit misleading because the work that enabled testing the 1 month of prompting was part of the 2 years of ML work. * xgboost is an ensemble method... add the llm outputs as inputs t

It's about acceleration + other things. If the other things didn't matter, they would just drive a Tesla Model S Plaid with 2 second 0-60mph.

My understanding is that one of the huge barriers to a lot of DoD projects is seemingly unending feature creep: 1. let's make the "next-gen airplane" 2. (work 5 years) 3. ok now we want it to have better radar cloakin

Just a reminder that the "Dunning-Kruger effect" is probably not real [0]. It makes sense to refer to it as a concept but it's probably not an appropriate assumption to make about people. [0] https://www.mcgill.ca&

The reasonably best examples of commuter trains are far superior to those of commuter airplanes as long as we are not talking about travel over or around significant bodies of water or long distances. Trains carry much more weight, are more

That's a false dichotomy. If airlines didn't exist, we would have found some other way to move things. Maybe trains, which would have been the better future by far.

Without knowing the details of these "agreements," everyone is just speculating. OpenAI as an entity is only in trouble if they've bound themselves completely without any way out. These "commitments" may just functi

If you mean, "why can't we say that it's a complete waste of time to suppose that" humans are "thinking or intelligent," then yes, I think it is a complete waste of time! If there's no testable definitio
