GPT-3. I assumed that's what most people mean with ChatGPT. Usually, people specify for 3.5 or 4. Is GPT-4 significantly better with Japanese?

Be wary with ChatGPT and Japanese. As someone fluent enough and using ChatGPT for inspiration in writing, as well as to find words that either I have "on the tip of my tongue" but fail to remember, or find idiomatic expressions th

Reading the article reminded me of https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23416 and I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same underlying issue.

Doctor Yellow is less unseen, though. I've seen it a few times, and I wasn't even trying to look for it.

63k+ in slightly less than 16 years is an average of 4k a year. There are still 2k left, so "soon" (per the title) would be, assuming a linear progression, still in about 6 months... This might push a few people to give him some m

Fun fact, deb packages are just ar files with a funky header, containing a "debian-binary" file containing the deb version (nowadays 2.0), and two compressed tar files, control.tar.$comp and data.tar.$comp, where $comp can be gz,

You're biased because you already know what it's supposed to be saying. The brain really likes to make us hear the sound it knows it's supposed to hear.

Remove the text and the man's voice and I doubt you can actually understand what it says.

How good is it with Japanese compared to GPT?

Humans can't either, without training data. The biggest difference between chatGPT and humans is that humans are not trained solely on language.

Wow, I hadn't heard the name Afroman in what... 20 years? (when was "because I got high"?)

TL;DR: the author had to figure out the hard way that Zig's FixedBufferAllocator is a bump allocator, and that it doesn't reuse freed memory except when it's the last allocation.

I, for one, would be more interested in a take on the opposite end of the problem: what does it all mean for our understanding of what thinking/talking/being human is? Because what kind of baffles me with LLMs is how much they can

I'm pretty sure GP and GGP were referring to a talk by Bryan Cantrill. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5170246

Google says: "In 2022 there were estimated to be approximately 3.32 billion people employed worldwide" A billion people losing their job would be massive.

It's not actually a pun (at least, AFAIK), but interestingly, 肛門 (anus) is an homophone of 後門 (back gate).

Just to make it clear, this doesn't only apply to imported words (although it's probably where it's more common). It works for purely Japanese words too. For example: なるはや (naruhaya) is a 4 mora abbreviation of なるべく早く (narube

The only time I ever went to Pachinko, it was with a cousin-in-law. The first thing he taught me was how to place a coin at the right place to hold the dial. That leaves you with almost no interaction with the machine, except when it wants

And for extra fun, while the French word for space (espace) is masculine gender (un espace) for most its meanings, in typography, it's feminine (une espace).

Since you're quoting France, it's worth noting that there, double punctuations (?:!;) are preceded by a half-space (although in practice it's always a full space). Likewise, guillemets are surrounded by spaces (the space insi

Something else that time-travel debugging helps a lot with, is that in an awful lot of cases, what you have in the crash dump is a broken state, with no way to identify how that state happened to be. Like "why the hell does this variab

The conviction rate (closer to 99.9%, btw) is for indicted people, not arrested. A lot of arrested people are released without being indicted. The prosecution rate is below 50% IIRC. Edit: indictment rate is actually closer to 36%, and 16%

if your goal is 50% women then you have to lower standards to achieve that. You don't have to. But you'd remove them from the job market, making the pool smaller for other companies. IOW, a few companies can target 50% women, bu
