Should you be counting on confusion of an underpowered text-merge to catch such problems? It'll fire on merge issues that aren't code problems under a smarter merge, while also missing all the things that merge OK but introduce de

Competitor MapBlast's 'LineDrive' directions were my favorite printable option – both the abstract overview and the turn-by-turn abstract clips. https://somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2011/03/08&#x

"It had been a slow Tuesday night. A few hundred new products had run their course on the markets. There had been a score of dramatic hits, three-minute and five-minute capsule dramas, and several of the six-minute long-play affairs. N

I look up old iMessages, emails, group chat comments, and so forth constantly, often finding valuable gems of wit, reference-material, recommendations, or media that I dimly remember from years or even decades ago. Signal and other messagin

Anecdotes of occasional problems, even at a low or unquantified rate, are valid & useful evidence that something negative is happening. Anecdotes that sometimes those problems don't occur are nearly worthless. Of course that's

The Wikipedia page is useful, and as you've identified the 2025 MN Representative Hortman murder as the "first assassination of a sitting legislator at the state or federal level in my lifetime" – not counting the 2015 murder

Plot these against the rate of similar attempts (or successes) over the past century if you want to convince others of anything other than your own subjective presentist perspective.

> I believe translation should be scale-invariant, and scale should not affect rank ordering I don't believe this is true with regard to ending angles after addition steps between vectors of varying magnitudes. Imagine just in 2D: v

Thanks! So of those 3, despite the superficially "large" distances, 2 of the 3 are just as good at this particular analogy as Google's 2013 word2vec vectors, in that 'queen' is the closest word to the target, when q

Not sure you can judge whether these modern models do well on the 'arithmetic analogization' task based on absolute similarity values – & especially L2 distances. That it ever worked was simply that, among the universe of

If by 'doc2vec' you mean the word2vec-like 'Paragraph Vectors' technique: even though that's a far simpler approach than the transformer embeddings, it usually works pretty well for coarse document similarity. Even

When you describe a tax that is "paid annually and only if you win", that's plain generic income tax. That's not the gambling-activity-specific taxes that Stoller's article discusses - typically applied to gambling

Huh? What is Loeb's 'captive audience'?

by gojomo 1y ago
No, I can't, because all I've seen from Loeb is pretty clear about what is fact, and what is speculation. I don't know, and there's no way to find via "Google search", what HN user ~dylan604 is specifically all

Yes, though it's possible a more-general core model, further enhanced with some other ways to bring those texts-of-interest into the working context, might perform better. Those other ways to integrate the texts might be some form of R

The LLMs need the embedding function, benefit from growth, do the training – and then other uses get that embedding "for free". So an old down-pressure on sizes – internal training costs & resource limits – now weaker. And as
