It's not even fine as tl;dr. It misrepresents the study. Yes, it quotes some words from the study. That's not what a tl;dr is.

That'd be the tl;dr if you actually didn't understand what that sentence said. Volume was lower in some subcortical regions. That's some parts of about a quarter of the brain. The implied message behind your tl;dr is also

Yes, it's an amazing book. But skip the last 20 pages, they're deeply unsatisfying writing.

That is the worst case outcome of penalties, and it carries significant risk of whistle blowing. The default case will be compliance, because compliance is simply cost of business, something businesses understand well. Meanwhile, currently

That is only true if you believe research never has dead ends and progresses on a well-defined curve. It does neither. What OAI or others release next does, in the very best case, help set a floor. And if it's a blind alley to a local

Look, I heard a lot of things from the guy at the street corner too, but that doesn't make it true. We'll start with the fact that M1s aren't built on a "base", they're built at the Joint Systems Manufacturing

Sigh. I am sorry to hear that. And not surprised. (You can approach "how they think" as a question with strict rubrics fwiw, but it's a somewhat uphill battle. And not one you can win as an M1, usually)

When you talk about symbolism, it really doesn't matter if you can see the solder seam. Yes, of course a good jeweler doesn't leave visible seams. (Heck, a mediocre one doesn't either) But the message of a cast ring is &quo

by groby_b 2y ago
Since OP likes symbolism, it's worth keeping in mind that wedding rings are never supposed to have a seam - they're symbolizing, amongst other things, eternity. Casting's the way to go (if that matters to you)

by groby_b 2y ago
Nice! fwiw, people usually don't use a silver/gold alloy not because of cost, but because of hardness. But then, I like that for a wedding ring, it'll collect a few marks on the way - and that too is like a relationship.

Nope. No pseudo code. Definitely lots of whiteboarding. Lots of "recall arcane facts". (Like "Why did our counter stop counting up at 16M" - the answer being "because you used float for a counter, what's wrong

Don't know why you have such a disdain for artists, but either way, the original point was that model collapse wasn't "a coping idea made up by artists", but a valid research backed scientific model. >I think that [cl

by groby_b 2y ago
You're confusing it with data poisoning. Model collapse itself is(was?) a fairly serious research topic: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.17493 We've by now reached a "probably not inevitable" - https:&#

You _can_ avoid this. It seems (based on my experience, at least), a duration-of-tenure problem, not an age problem. Switching fields when you're heading towards "landmark" status does seem to do the trick. It's scary as

If that person had done me the courtesy of actually reading, I wouldn't object.

These are still relevant even in modern Java or C# or C++. Just because the language can express things in a more modern way doesn't mean you always will. Or should. Or can. And I agree that it's a historically informed perspect

Or any other major commercially used language right now? Look, I'm glad you work in a language where you don't need to describe those things any more, but the vast majority of people still do. And for that group of people, under

You read the part where I said the understanding constrains the existing user base from antisocial behavior, right? This isn't about "commoners". It's that any large group of people contains assholes, assholes restrain t

by groby_b 2y ago
That new group is people who aren't at the frontier of trying out new tech. The way this will manifest is the drunk idiot who'll puke all over the car. The bored asshole who carves his initials in the seat. The edgelord who gets t

Sure, but not all of us work in Smalltalk, and "but Smalltalk already does it" doesn't move legacy code bases either.

Yup. Worse, people told them what that meant in terms of risk and begged them to reconsider, for the benefit of the larger archive. And even worse, it was an epic strategic blunder. A campaign of "in this emergency, we would love to

All that's missing is for Anthropic to figure out how to apply deltas instead of regenerating everything. It's seriously impressive for both simple apps and wireframe->HTML conversions.

Thank you, that was indeed the one!

Abrash was a prominent and prolific writer at the time (in addition to be an excellent coder). That might have helped enough to make that example stick for folks. But also worth noting that that article is dated one year after quake, two ye

You're omitting the somewhat relevant part of recall ability. I can train a 50 parameter model on the entire internet, and while it's seen it all, it won't be able to recall it. (You can likely do the same thing with a 500B m

While I respect the power of intuition - this may well be a great path - it's worth keeping in mind that this is currently just that. A hunch. Leela got crushed due to AI directed search, what if we can wave a wand and hand all AIs sea

It turns out we all could count cycles. Seriously, this keeps getting overhyped as some gigantic insight when it was really just a consequence of the Pentium having been released in 1993. And with the Pentium, you got both reliable FPU avai

If there's a sufficiently large number of people whom you want to exclude, the problem might be that you're simply in the wrong group. It clearly keeps attracting folks you don't want to be in a group with. And if your group

Sure, if you want to take a purist stance, we should start by inventing a universe free of third parties, to borrow from Feynman. Meanwhile, the goal of most of these private groups isn't to stick it to the man, or make sure all data i

"discrimination was not tolerated by mgmt in the latter 90s" That's a really nice thought. Having lived as a trans woman in the 90s, it does not match reality though. Management is, always, a mixed bag. More and more managers
