Hah, lately I've had one particular coworker demanding in code reviews that I provide more 'detailed' MR descriptions. (All of his are clearly AI generated.)

That very much depends on the workplace. I was let go once for being 'slightly below average', because I kept foolishly spending the time to fix things in ways that didn't result in more bugs.

I've seen several varieties of this idea several times, and it always seems pretty straw-mannish to me. No one is asserting that computers themselves should have rights. But their users certainly do. If it is legal for me, a human pers

Discord's text search isn't exact, which can be a big problem sometimes. For instance, I was in a discord for a game mod recently which had questions asked about the terms 'element' and 'elemental', which were

BLS calls U-3 the "official unemployment rate" I guess, but they publish it in a table with 5 other measures that count different things. I'm not entirely sure it's fair to blame them for the fact that most people just f

If I understand the pricing correctly, that seems prohibitive. The models go up to 2k tokens of input, so wouldn't that mean that it costs $.16 per output token?

AI Dungeon is a pretty great use case. I'm not sure if it'll survive this pricing, though.

Ah, that's referring to something else. By generation it means the first output string of every scenario. IIRC I heard someone mention that OpenAI made them do that because people were trying to end-run around the GPT-3 access restrict

You get GPT-3 either way now, I believe. Dragon, the one locked to subscribers, is GPT-3 XL or something like that? Relevant Developer Tweet: https://twitter.com/nickwalton00/status/1284842455188164609

I don't understand what you are saying here. It seems to me like you would expect hunger to increase over time after eating. Thus putting the part of your fast with the highest hunger intensity into your sleep time seems considerably e

I have not read the study, but when I heard this on the radio the researcher specifically said that the weight loss was because of the reduction in calories. The part that is interesting is that by instructing people to have their last meal

That's a fair point which also occurred to me while reading the article. It is, I think, indicative of a deeper issue with using ML in these sorts of safety contexts. If the only way to really test your safety system is to actually put

My experience was that while the IDE was available and picked up by newer developers, the majority of developers at the mainframe shop where I worked avoided it as much as possible for pretty much the same reasons seasoned UNIX devs prefer

I don't want to be dismissive since this is pretty cool, but from just skimming the page it seems like this is basically a version to neural nets that is roughly equivalent to genetic programming?

Is this true of individual schools, or only on average? I'm not particularly well versed on the subject but when I lived there my impression was that there was a mix of schools that were well-funded/performing and under-funded&#x2

Perhaps this is a result of two different cultural approaches to conflict minimization? My naive impression of people from these two cultures is that Japanese people are typically willing to confront others but seek to avoid being confronte

What the appropriate value for minimum wage is largely a social question not an economic one. I would stipulate, however, that whatever you think that value is it should probably be a real value, not nominal. The real value of our minimum w

I'm largely in favor of a $15 minimum wage, but I agree that if we were going to do this on a national level as opposed to local it would be prudent to phase it in over time so that there is time for pulling back if trouble beings to e

More minimum wage studies are certainly welcome, but the fact that supply and demand models are remarkably poor matches for the labor market is certainly not new. Anyone with more familiarity with Labor Economics than your typical news show
