Just did some preliminary testing on decrypting some ROT cyphertext which would have been viable for a human on paper. The output was pretty disappointing: lots of "workish" steps creating letter counts, identifying common words,

I'm confused about some of the implications regarding crowd infections. Certainly for some of these -- say, Chicken Pox -- we know that early and controlled exposure is preferable to a first case later in life. And that the cycle of h

I'm no chemist, but from a comp sci perspective the title claim seems overstrong. One can show that certain models of one category outperform certain models of another on certain benchmarks, or first demonstrate some impressive result

Thx. The Springer Nature PDF is somehow STILL confusing as it addresses family ties to NY but not to Axel Springer. However, I guess my priors regarding family business were overstrong.

The entire article is about the semantics of the word "open", so an organization literally named "OpenAI" is obviously relevant on the article's own terms. Besides which, this is a summary of a research paper that D

I'm late to this party, but here's a post I wrote about it. This is more motivation but we are working on technical posts/papers for release. Happy to field emails in the meantime if this is timely for you. https:/&#x

If you can't find things to criticize about yourself, it means you aren't improving. Sharing these critiques helps others both learn from your mistakes, and that it's ok to learn from their own.

"SJ can't own all female AI voices" is attacking a straw man version of the complaint, which is much narrower. The question is whether OpenAI deliberately fostered the impression of an association between their product and h

Not a lawyer, but wouldn't the important intent be the one when the voice is released, not the first moment someone gets hired? The economic harm happens when you publicize the voice in a way designed to gain value from Johannsen'

This is an example of a non-falsifiable theory. Since it will not produce evidence, it deserves the same credibility as the infinite other such theories, like the idea that god strikes down civilizations which communicate beyond their star

Love this article but would like to dispute the author's notion of "real". In the post, he shows that the frequency domain is not special , in the sense that there are infinitely other equally valid representations. But man

Wait - your first paragraph has nothing to do with your moral. What's "diluted"? It seems like you want to say "be skeptical about numbers.". Fine. But what does that have to do with the course?

I was thinking about radiatori going into this. Anybody know on which axes this shape is supposed to beat radiatori? Seems to me radiatori has max surface area per wheat, so it should dominate on sauceability. Also thrilled to have an opp

At scale, being confident your data is authentically pre-2024 is going to be hard unless you are maintaining the corpus already! Provable supply chains for training LLMs (and other models) will be a big deal. PS - "every cousin from

Adding a legal battle with the FTC to the cost of any acquisition can chill and kill otherwise obvious deals, and or sap value out of those that push through. FWIW, I think there are good reasons to limit tech consolidation, including this

Your take here converges with a long-standing debate in AI regarding embodiment. Our natural world doesn't distinguish between "inputs" and "outputs" -- instead, all the causes, effects, and even our analysis of eve

I think open source advocates bring some understandable but wrong intuitions to how LLMs are being distributed. In the world of hand-coded software, binaries are hard to work with, source is easy to work with, and compilation is cheap. In t

Ah yes, the dreaded Linux monopoly. Well, the cure is simple: just don't contribute to or use open source. Or were you hoping to keep others from sharing things for free?

Metric time is about factors too, but it prioritizes the factors that simplify the comparison across (literally) many orders of magnitude. This is way less helpful for everyday life because we usually only reason within 2-3 orders of magni
