This feels like saying "when building a house, obviously a hammer is more important than the blueprints. This isn't art class, it's construction"

Something of an aside, but this is sort of equivalent to asking "how does that work for the $50 dollars the casino gave me to gamble with for free"? I once made 50 dollars exactly in that way by taking the casino's free token

Google Gemini (2.0 Flash, free online version) handled this rather okay; it gave me an arguably unneccessary calculation of the individual prices of ball and bat, but then ended with "However with the information given, we can't d

IME it is rarely productive to ask an LLM to fix code it has just given you as part of the same session context. It can work but I find that the second version often introduces at least as many errors as it fixes, or at least changes unrela

The KoboldCpp UI I was using had a pretty straightforward way of setting up a chatbot-style dialogue interface that would send the dialogue context so far with each message input, along with some supporting prompt infrastructure reminding t

It's just one pretty trivial example, but many months ago I had to develop some backstory for my character in a D&D campaign. I had some character background and some paragraphs I wrote to start off with, but I wasn't sure wha

Yes indeed. This thread seems to indicate more people should read more Borges!

For me, searching "animals made from circles", your comment put this HN thread as the #1 result while the #2 result was a syndicated article about the linked post. When I get more specific and search "animals drawn only from

I had the same experience. I played for a few minutes, and the only repetitions I got were countries I already identified on the first guess. I didn't get repeats of any country that I missed initially.

"Document ranking reduces to these hard problems" would imply that document ranking is itself an instance of a certain group of hard problems. That's not what the article is saying.

A key point of Rorschach tests is that they are always the same plates, so there is a large body of literature and case studies specific to interpretations of each one. I think that like any sort of psychological inventory the results are e

For me the most conspicuous thing missing is dynamics... particularly when there are "ghost notes" in between much louder ones during a fast passage, it seems like something is missing. That said, however, I find it to be oddly sa

My concern with having the LLM's write tests is that it's hard to be convinced that they've written the right tests. Coupling human TDD with a genetic algorithm of some sort that uses LLM's to generate candidate popula

It feels to me that there may be even more potential in flipping this idea around - human coders write tests to exact specifications, then an llm-using coding system evolves code until it passes the tests.

Common Lisp allows one to use arrays or other structures, and can even be used to inline assembly. So despite lists being a major part of the ecosystem and code representation itself, they are not mandatory for implementing an algorithm, or

I've seen a ton of pages in my feed with synthesized photos of things like log cabins, and unlike what the article mentions (comments "ranging from bot-like praise to snarky remarks aimed at users who seem to believe the images ar

One thing I noticed is if you set the graph axes to "Speed" and "handling" and the weight slider about 3/4 toward "handling" then Koopa becomes the only member of that 2D slice of pareto front. I suppose t

LLM's-at-home are in a vastly different place than they were 10, 5, or even 2 years ago, so I'm not sure the assumptions about typical traffic from then hold true now.

Though I'm not a particularly big fan of them, the Pholcidae spiders are very nonintrusive, nonaggressive, nearly weightless and paper-thin, and do an excellent job eating venomous spiders and unwanted insects. I tend to leave them und

You can do each variable on its own line with stuff like "defvar" and "setf", but that will add them to the current package namespace - and convention is to avoid polluting namespaces with names that will be unused later

I think it was primarily an homage to Sherlock Holmes on whom the character is largely based, modern cultural context aside.

If one ever tried to make edits to the latents prior to decoding them with a VAE in SD1.5 and then in SDXL, it could be seen that that local changes had somewhat unpredictable and global effects on the image in SD1.5, while in SDXL the chan

I find speaking to an LLM as if it were a human to be far more effective than barking orders at it. Although this is less true of some models compared to others if they've been fine tuned to respond to that sort of thing. Even still in

I can only speculate, but I have seen this linked on social media dozens of times, often including that detail of "shutting down an extremely hostile senator" in the caption. So whether or not one interprets the senator as rude o

I had the idea to wait for a few letters so I could type them all at once, but by then, it was too hard to figure out which one had come first (I'd assumed it didn't matter and was just trying left-to-right) before they all reache

I have attempted this sort of thing with GPT 3.5 many times and never been successful, although I've still never been taken off of the GPT4 waiting list that I signed up for months ago and I'm not going to subscribe without trying

Agreed; the suggestion that people just expect random shuffle to work differently from that seems well-meaning and rooted in some kind of truth but quite disconnected from the fact you stated. I'm not sure why media players that offer

In the context of Shakespeare, I'd agree that there may be some competitive potential in the product. But in the context of news, something that evolves and relies on timely and accurate information, I don't see how something like

I'm not sure if the verbatim content isn't more of a "stopped clock is right twice a day" or "monkeys typewriting shakespeare" situation. As I see it, most of the value in something like the NYT is as a trusted
