If an example would be helpful, OpenAI's tokenizer is publicly usable on their website: https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer You can drop sample text in there and visually see how it is split into tokens. The GPT2&#x2

OpenAI provides tools to fine-tune models: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning The largest Davinci model currently costs $0.03 per 1k of training tokens during fine-tuning, so you could fine-tune a

I did something similar in a simple whiteboarding app that I made a while back: https://github.com/jncraton/box-line-text The data representation could probably improve in terms of readability, but I'm happy with

This is the process of mapping documents to vectors representing their semantic meaning. Here's a reasonable high-level overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_embedding

You can use any sort of natural language text as input. The system transforms the input text into a multidimensional vector that roughly represents the semantic meaning of the input. If you do this for many different inputs, you can get rep

Correct. That concept is the chain of thought (CoT) reasoning that the article discusses.

I believe clarifying things immediately and succinctly may be why the author mentioned LLMs. They have the potential to provide this sort of feedback. They are obviously imperfect, but for the sort of questions that many undergraduates get

There are smaller models that you can freely play around with that work in roughly the same way. If you're working on a fairly regular computer some reasonable options are GPT2 or GPT-Neo. These can both perform inference on your local

Guetzli was already mentioned and roughly does what you are talking about. MozJPEG [1] includes several quantization tables that are optimized for different contexts (see the quant-table flag and source code for specific tables[2]), and the

You can also perform transfers like this using crossover or null modem[1] serial cables if both machines have serial ports. I transferred a number of files like this back in the day. You could even use them for some multiplayer games that w

The following generation machine (8770w) is my daily driver at home. If anyone else is thinking about getting a laptop like this, I maintain a little site that sifts through, cleans up, and sorts the current eBay listings: https:/&#x2

Thanks! The goal is simplicity, so it doesn't attempt feature parity with a more comprehensive tool like yours. Collaboration features, along with any features that can't be implemented on simple static hosting, are out of scope.

This looks great. Thanks for sharing! If folks are interested in this sort of thing, I also maintain an extremely minimalist open source whiteboarding tool: https://github.com/jncraton/box-line-text

When I was in high school, I had a specialized CD like this. The computers in our labs were configured to prevent us from running arbitrary programs, but they weren't configured to prevent booting from a CD. I created a stripped down W

They are the same concept under the hood, but a GBDT is an ensemble model using a number of trees in tandem that are grown to improve the performance of the overall model.

If you're interested in this sort of grammar application, I created a project a while back that uses a generative grammar to connect LEGO bricks into models: https://github.com/jncraton/connectiongrammar

I've been using Rebrickable for around 8 years, and I've shared over 70 of my creations there, so I wanted to share some of the things I've appreciated about the site beyond the core features of being able to rebuild LEGO set

Correct. Distributing and developing illegal software (as RIAA has declared youtube-dl to be) is a solved problem technically. I'd like to see a case surrounding software like this actually defended in a court, though. It would be help

> The file sharing cases of the early 2000's have drawn some lines around the noninfringing use defense, though. Napster and Grokster both claimed, in court, to support noninfringing uses. However, both products promoted their produ

I shouldn't have said that it isn't a big deal these days, as that devalues the scope of the achievement of getting a payload to orbit. I simply mean that orbital flight is something that we are able to do with the proper funding

I don't fully understand the negativity around BO. They haven't gone to orbit yet, and they don't run everything they do as a PR campaign the way that SpaceX does, but getting a rocket to orbit isn't that big of a deal t

I appreciate that you took the time to look at the code. I like the app itself well enough, but I especially like that it's just 100 lines of HTML/CSS/JS. Thanks for sharing excalidraw as well. That looks great.

It's certainly helpful to see more of the great tools in this space, and I appreciate you sharing those. I prefer collaborative editing for meetings as well, but my use case for this is more academic. I'm using it as a stand-in fo

Thanks! I enjoyed the challenge of keeping this lean. It's fun to build a web app where the favicon is the bulk of the bytes on the wire. :)

I like that idea. I've changed to using shift for deletion. I've also enabled deleting on both mouse clicks and movement, so you can hold down shift and wiggle the mouse around like an eraser. This makes it much easier to delete l

Deleting is definitely the feature I'd most like to have. I don't generally love the idea of taking over right click behavior, but I've pushed out a patch to allow removing elements using right click. This is an admittedly po
