So by “1-bit” they mean “less than 2 bits”. AI is an insufferable field at times like this.

Later on, Michael Stipe of REM wrote a song that shamelessly ripped off Suzanne, except it was about merging a human's DNA with a crocodile. He asked Peter Buck what he thought, and Buck said "it's great, but it was great whe

"weakly solve" is not curious. Read from the start, they define this.

I'm a big fan of Downey but this article is quite far from his best. 1. The data he fits is for distance (10k), and the conclusion ("why you can't beat the Freeze") concerns sprinting. 2. The claim that speed is a multip

I read “downloads recursively GPLv3 licensed” and wondered whether even Stallman would really claim that a file downloaded by wget becomes retroactively GPLv3.

Great! Now the reviewer will say you should've used GPT4.2, the version released on 29th August, not the version released on 22nd August.

Great comment and we see the same tension in many other collaborative areas. When designing software interfaces we deliberately use wireframes to prevent people from trying to add detail prematurely. But the place that bothers me the most i

That is a great title. For many people, chess is not interesting, now that computers are so good at it. But for me, chess is even more interesting now that we have developed (narrow) AI programs that instantiate more and more parts of what

Transformers aren't really a wonderful architecture in the sense of a great fit between the architecture and what we know about the task. (For comparison, I think convolutional networks are.) What makes Transformers great is: 1. Can ha

Any comment intended to be true of all art is inevitably wrong. I believe the above comment is the only comment which is an exception to the above rule.

It's not really just that it's bland.. it's a parody of bad writing. These authors are clearly just having fun. A serious attempt at using GPT to write a Holmes novel could achieve quite good results, I reckon. It would invol
