Wouldn't that put at least some pressure into pursuing other options (like mowing somebody's lawn)?

It all stems from the fact that it just talks English. It's understandably hard to not be implicitly biased towards talking to it in a natural way and expecting natural interactions and assumptions when the whole point of the experienc

well, technically you can also use a literal rubber duck which doesn't say anything at all.

Yes! I'd like to find some time to explore and fine tune a model to act as an effective rubber duck. I benefit greatly from talking to colleagues which helped me understand things by not saying much of the answer but by asking the righ

Interpolating is an awesome feature, very practical: summarization, style transfer. Instruction following is also useful and unlocks another tier of features. The fuzziness of the model behaviour plays a useful role because natural language

Are the ranges prescriptive or descriptive?

> they already don't? Do you mean "They already don't invest"? I'm confused. Then how can they have unrealized gains if they're not investing? Aren't we talking about gains coming from investment? If th

It's hard to foresee what the consequences are for introducing a tax on unrealized gains. If the problem is that some people can leverage the unrealized gains and buy stuff with that, wouldn't the solution be to apply the taxation

There are different ways to be wrong. For example you can confabulate "facts" or you can make logical or coherence mistakes. Current LLMs are encouraged to be creative and effectively "make up facts". That's what cr

The models weights are tuned towards the direction that would cause the model to best fit the training set. It turns out that this process makes it useful at producing mostly sensible predictions (generate output) for text that is not prese

If the bubble pops, would that bring the price for at least part of that hardware down and thus enable a second round of players (who were locked out from the race now) to experiment a little bit more and perhaps find something that works b

Yeah given that were talking about objects that are colliding with the earth, the faster they will come closer to us the less time we'll have to spot them

that's right. another metric that affects the ... impact ... of such an event is also the speed of the asteroid. Unlike size, I suspect higher speeds would make it harder to spot (and once spotted there would be less time to take actio

And indeed there is historical precedent for A (e.g. enigma). Is there any precedent for choosing C?

You're right, it's culturally determined. You'll be surprised to learn that the culture of a mother affect the offspring even in a patriarchal society. That said, it was a figure of speech. He was definitely not a Cristian co

Barbarossa was a son of a Turkish Muslim man and a Greek Orthodox woman. I guess that makes him a bit of a Christian too but nowhere as close as being a Christian pirate who switched sides.

Yes all those are indeed pessimizations during encoding but are features when decoding: the decoder can skip decoding fields and tolerate unknown fields. Now, you may disagree that tolerating unknown fields is a features (as many people do)
