Specifically a clanker that itself would rather hallucinate something than say "I don't know".

It reminds me of how LLM hallucination is attributed to "I don't know" being underrepresented in training data, and it being a better strategy to guess on evaluations rather than admit not knowing. Different reward function,

No FFN is blowing my mind. This is pretty much "Attention Is ACTUALLY All You Need". Reminds me of BERT Q&A which would return indices into the input context, but even that had a FFN. Really exciting work.

Makes sense that the agent can refine its search terms/strategy based on discovered context. But it still has to enumerate synonyms to find things. I would assume it's very domain dependent, like code or technical docs would have

Looks and feels premium, but ultimately fundamentally disposable. This pattern extends to so many goods in modern life. Washing machines, microwaves, etc aren't worth the time of a local repairman. Repair is economically incompatible w

If anyone is interested in learning it, there's nothing better than Ørberg's Lingua Latina per se Illustrata. It's entirely in Latin, including grammar explanations, but it starts out incredibly simple and ramps up gradually

Right and modulo agents, they're just describing event-driven architecture like Lambda.

Furthermore, I think we care most about the context surrounding the humans. If a txt2vid model could generate a 100% perfect video of a soccer match, perfectly rendering each blade of grass, would anyone watch it? No, because we care about

On the other hand, outcome-driven fitness (pursuing a goal like "i want to get shredded") never worked for me as well as process-focused. I have strong legs not because that was a goal, but because I fell in love with cycling and

They didn't say during pregnancy. Cows only produce milk after giving birth to a calf, so they're regularly inseminated. I think a lot of people don't realize we're hijacking their reproductive systems, instead assuming

They're cool, but centralized and, well, a ring. I like how this is a decentralized graph, the next step in their evolution.

I think Apple is just really careful about how they segment their product line for each use case, and would never go for a "jack of all trades" solution like this.

It was cool to see subreddit simulators evolve alongside progress in text generation, from Markov chains, to GPT-2, to this. But as they made huge leaps in coherency, a wonderful sort of chaos was lost. (nb: the original sub is now being wr
