It's late at night so apologies if this seems incoherent. I recently applied to college and I got into a university that is pretty good. I'm pretty happy with where I am and I consider myself fortunate in every regard to be going

I don't care about whether there's more sunshine in the morning or not (that's why I have blinds!). What I do care about is the fact that DST introduces needless complexity into the task of keeping time. I know it's stup

I agree. To me, the ancient Greeks were an extremely advanced civilization and we don't often comprehend quite how rich their intellectual culture was. It turns out that Archimedes had actually discovered some of the foundational princ

While I want to believe this is true, I think the above response was more a lack of Gopher's ability to analyze mathematical equations properly than an attempt to display a sense of humour. Many NLP approaches work by creating word emb

Yeah, math (or any subject really) takes a lot of time to learn, and Knuth’s books do a good job of providing plenty of exercises and explanations. I was just saying that it can initially be overwhelming for some, which is why they might wa

I said my example was contrived because I didn’t test the prompt (admittedly I should have tried to). I still think there’s a lack of explainability to the whole model though, and I struggle to understand how we could continue improving the

I wasn't very clear when I said this. I wasn't talking about "natural intelligence". I was referring to the fact that GPT-3 tends to produce sentences that don't really make sense in the wider context of the passage

For anyone with LG TVs, iirc there’s a project called OpenLGTV which is working to reverse engineer LG software. Maybe it could help disable some of these “smart” features?
