I think css must be the worst invention in computing, at least all the obfuscated javascript i know is trying to do something (spy on me), instead css just bloats up 800ms on linkedin into the size of war and peace because of how much they

I still don't really understand the regular DOM and what has happened to web development since the good old days of geocities.. Why does everyone need a full operating-system tier browser to render any website with javascript?

Despite all that I find GPT moralizes far more than Claude does. I don't think I've had a single complaint from it thus far actually.. Also it's a lot better at coding. GPT has become exceptionally lazy recently, but i co

Good thing Claude's a massive step forward.

Yeah it's absolutely horrible at layouts. I'm not 100% sure it's related but if you ask it to draw bounding boxes around things it's always off by quite a bit.

They do that because it's required of them out of sheer necessity, but it's the absolute bare minimum they can do because capitalism dictates it so Just like you might imagine a leech could evolve some attribute to help defend its

so trillion dollar public companies get to use all their legal rights (and lobby governments to extend them), but the little guy can get fucked if he does?

sounds like a problem for the financial industry, thank God they have money to pay for it! they certainly don't use any of it to actually support anything of course.

Can't wait for the failure mode where they sit over HVDC lines, fail because there's no alternating magnetic field, and then fall on them and hobble the infrastructure.

I know indirectly that claude is basically completely unbeatable in creative writing, even GPT4 can't hold a candle..

That's very cool, I didn't know they did that. Odd they call us `humans`, and also a bit that it doesn't say who it's named after.

IMO LLMs are basically the best thing since wikipedia for learning/autodidacts. They're also pretty fantastic for discoverability if you do a bit of filtering to remove hallucinations. Only downside is you end up finding that pro

Yeah GPT is incredibly lazy, ironically 3 is far better at not being lazy than 4. I guess you benchmarked via API? I've heard even the datestamped models have been nerfed from time to time..
48.
by dontupvoteme 3y ago
ironically the API is available most everywhere, and it has an ok-ish web interface (they're really heavy on prompt engineering it seems though)

by dontupvoteme 3y ago
I mean you can make any set of LLMs produce any set of output you want. The problem is that it isn't terribly efficient and you have to filter between the real stuff and the hallucinations.

What is it particularly good at? video at 1M tokens sounded neat, I've been very impressed with Cladue's 200k + pretty good reasoning + not lazy output at the moment.

the pragmatic solution is simply to build your own, personal, dead internet.

So what happens when someone in e.g. China or Russia releases something who they can't practically prosecute, can everyone else then use it?

The main thing I'd like large context for is the ability to shove a ton of API/Python/etc documentation into the window for a given problem so it knows better what to do. In terms of the actual output it can be annoying if th

I'm not surprised, those documents probably contain a lot of information which causes the model to get confused/lost/etc. It also seems to line up with random paragraph location doing the worst in that paper.

That is a bit silly as SQL is a language itself, it's not a thing that can write in (many) other languages while still understanding human natural language. LLMs are that 'blurry jpg of the internet' but now also more finetun

The fact that an LLM can code up the game of life/snake/etc faster than you could find a download link is an interesting thing. If you give it some documentation, background info, code and traceback info (and know to avoid context

Why not simply use AI to implement monitoring and evaluation so incredibly fine grained any human would go insane if they had to do it?
