I can almost assure you it was an explicit requirement in an RFP that was copied from some master template. So not a good justification - but a justification in the eyes of the bureaucracy. The book Recoding America has a lot of anecdotes t

Thanks for linking to these. They are certainly in the right direction although they're a bit vague on how much notice to give: > Even if Douglas’s continued use of Talk America’s service could be considered assent, such assent can

I know this happens with some frequency, I wonder how frequently the companies update the TOS with language like this. The very idea of a self-updating TOS that will govern all usage into perpetuity feels like it should have been legally st

How long are you staying? I don't know of any co-living spaces / hacker-houses that have short term opportunities, most are commitments on the order of a few months to a year at a time. Personally I would try to find a few roommat

I think we're using aggregate statistics in two different ways. Technically speaking - the whole idea with a language model is that you're learning to generalize underlying patterns of text, not just memorize the input text. Other

Congrats on the launch! I have an interesting dissonance with this. On one hand, I understand how huge parameter sets can and do model specific personas well. I've also read some of these cited papers and _know_ intellectually that pre

Sure - I'm using it in a few different internal tools and know others are using it in production. The API should be relatively stable at this point since I intentionally kept the scope pretty limited. The main changes over time will be

There's no bulletproof solution to this. JSON5 ( https://www.npmjs.com/package/json5 ) gets you slightly more leniency, as does plugging the currently streamed content into another smaller LLM. I also wrote a determ

A small - and somewhat related - anecdote. New Zealand had to build an aluminum plant in the 1960s and figured out it would be more efficient to bore miles underground, build turbines, install a huge power station, and wire it tens of miles

Midjourney actually does pretty well with this one (needs a bit of cleanup but shockingly useful as a first draft): https://imgur.com/a/GKzx3vX

You might not! Depends on what you're looking for. I've been finding this library most helpful in places where I have a lot of GPT calls in pipelines, so having typehinted schema return values / some built in error correction

Good suggestion mmaia - I'm opening a new issue to keep track of the different output schemas that are being suggested. One thing that originally worried me a bit with yaml was its relative reliance on space-based formatting to drive m

Pretty good pitch from ChatGPT if you ask me! I haven't used cue outside of test projects before, so a few questions: 1. Is cue's validation a material improvement from something like pydantic or zod, which defines schema as code

Fingers crossed OpenAI / Anthropic / etc do this! Would make working with these APIs for prediction projects that much easier. Technically speaking it's pretty to force the model into an valid JSON-schema if you have access t

Thanks for the thoughts! I've deployed a few meta models that act like you're describing for second stage predictions, but for fuzzy task definitions have actually seen similar luck with having GPT explicitly explain its rational

One issue with the current generation of open source models is most have been based on some llama core architecture, and that's not licensed for commercial use. Once you get to the point of spinning up a full and easy API, and selling

Another random thought: Most of these general purpose pruning approaches rely on randomly calculating the X vector for which they want to measure output loss of the layer. In theory it's possible to feed actual datasets into these mode

Neat paper. Planning on reading more in-depth over the weekend, but more fundamental than just applications to GPT their insights are: - Existing pruners were written for models that are order-of-magnitudes smaller than any in the modern GP

They're going to have to clear a pretty big hurdle in establishing a trademark once it's been out in commerce for so long. But let's assume that they do. I actually think this will prove to be a good move for the ML ecosystem

In the government (and punditry / public discourse) it sure seems to be. Academic and financial circles only matter as much as they can sway the former to make policy.

I'd like to see some compelling evidence that supports the seemingly prevailing economic theory that the US can issue an unlimited amount of debt just because it's denominated in USD and interest rates are historically low. From a
