I think maybe they’re implying that if the experiment lacks value, funding for it will dry up and our simulated reality will get shut down. So it’s only the end of the universe as we know it. I’m sure that doesn’t matter…

Please clearly define the meaning of “you” in your simple law. Literally me? Okay, I don’t own 50% of the market—my company does. Oh you mean my company? Okay, my company doesn’t own 50% of the market—each of my companies only control

There are also men with delusional thinking about women because of the bible. Lets ban that too.

I’m quite sure I don’t want a different bespoke UI for everything. And given the non-deterministic nature of these models it’s going to be different even for the same task. Now instead of hunting for the right buttons after a software “upda

I dunno. This one seems trickier to me. Since it’s not really the code that’s the key part of the AI—it’s the trained numerical weights. Can you read and write in this language of floating point numbers? I doubt that. So perhaps yes you can

Yeah, not sure why it missed it. But when prompted with the photo and "What's funny about this photo?" GPT-4 replied: "The humor in this photo stems from the anticipation of an unfortunate event that seems likely to occu

I think because professional artists can’t typically make their software tools. Whereas engineers could in theory make their own tools. Naturally few do in practice though as tech has become far too large and specialized. But our roots are

Where have you seen it go from B to A successfully? Several states already have mandatory minimum wage laws that apply to waitstaff. The local culture of tipping still expects you to tip these people—I’ve had countless arguments with people

What utter hypocrisy. Does Israel recognize Palestine as a state? I think not. Not surprising of course. The US has always been biased in Israels’ favor.

Literally the first result when searched for: https://nypost.com/2023/08/29/russian-lieutenant-colonel-mow... Edit: not the person making the claim, nor am I particularly vested in this story or its validity.

It granted them twice. You can see a Suraj S with the same apparent org id both times.

They did in fact. > Methods: We recruited healthy adults aged 23-35 who identified as women currently using (n = 62) or having used (n = 37) solely combined OCs, women who never used any hormonal contraceptives (n = 40), or men (n = 41).

While they’re non-deterministic at a token level, they’re also still pattern following systems. Prompt Engineering is about (a) getting more deterministic outputs from the model, (b) using the models’ own bias to get more useful output, (c)

It’s not rationalization. It’s preference. There were plenty of templating languages in Javascript before React came along.

by ickelbawd 3y ago
Maybe because you’re thinking of it like a template language. It is not. It is JavaScript through and through. And mapping over an array is quite idiomatic. So are ternary operators. If you really prefer you can pop that out into a for loop

I didn’t finish reading the whole thing yet—need dinner first. But maybe the reason they never interact with gun loving, immigrant-hating, uneducated yayhoos is because they’re looking at a statistical amalgamation of individual beliefs. Mo

Only in legacy code we haven’t replaced yet as we switched to TypeScript a few years ago. We don’t upgrade the flow dependency anymore either.

They’re referring to a method of prompting the model that encourages it to think through something step by step rather than spit out the answer. I think this is the paper that really kicked off this technique: https://arxiv.org&#

They’re sails in this configuration—nothing more. They harness existing force of wind. They get spun up and if they spin the right way they produce a force perpendicular to the wind. The magnus effect is a byproduct of laminar flow of fluid

So then generating a term paper becomes a 2+ pass problem then. First have the model generate the outline, then have it generate each paragraph in the outline. Then have it offer suggestions and revisions when you put the whole thing togeth

This is humorous, but also about on par for ads these days. This wasn’t possible a decade ago. I don’t doubt that some teams are going to get a lot smaller as this thing rolls forward.

Ha, maybe. Or perhaps creation to the creator is like breathing to us. Do you remember how many breaths you took yesterday? Or maybe there is no creator, only a self-creation.

Sure. You see them once in a blue moon and catch-up. Or you go back to ye ole grapevine, and ask the people you do want to talk to about the people they talk to that you don’t. Or you forget about them and life carries on.

Whoops. Of course I had to use c for every value so the magnitude exceeds c. FTL travel!

That might be true from my own frame of reference but not so to an observer, right? How can we say there are 3 spatial dimensions at all if what you say is true? What you’re describing suggests there are an infinite number of dimensions bas

Is this really true? I can imagine a vector, [1,1,1] in cartesian space. Scale that vector by c and you are now going light speed in all three spatial dimensions.

Decent article. Was going to post a comment about how terribly wrong it could go to have each team pick their own tech stack, force the client to download all of them, and run them in a shared environment. Makes me shudder thinking about it

Because you need a number-go-up coin to allow for rampant speculation and to build hype. Then everyone that joins thinks they’re getting millions instead of nothing.

That’s arguable. Besides the fact that twitter was founded a year before the iphone was even announced, mobile, networked computers we can fit in our pockets drove the creation/adoption of all those things. The app store helped facilit

Why do you believe that to be true? If there are no physical ports then all data transfer and access must happen wirelessly which means there must be means to connect, and extract data wirelessly. Sure, maybe there’s a temporary reprieve un
