Analogously: I wonder if many of the low budget films, especially narrative focused films, might be better off as games. Given how everybody has a computer these days, AAA games are formulaic garbage and games aren't centered around a

The author is noting that in this particular case, Valve made a mistake in releasing the debug symbols for a particular build, as noted by them releasing them in a 2017 build, and then removing them in a subsequent build. The author did not

I believe the parent poster's point is: LLMs are more effective when they use more memory, meaning the less they are forced to compress the training data, the better they perform.

Is the implication here that everyone who could be affected by a transaction should have to consent to it? In which case, sure. Hence why the government regulates transactions.

The difference is that normally, the CEO answers to the board every few months. And the board doesn't tell the CEO what to do; the point of a CEO is that they can be trusted to do the right move. If they can't, then they serve no

Sorry, they've crawled trillions of pages, and narrowed it down to an index of 100s of billions. Conveniently, the link answers your question of "can you have PB sized indices?" to which we can clearly say, yes.

There are a lot of different ways to interpret the word intelligent, so let me rephrase: When you say "intelligent", what do you mean exactly? What might help is describing what specific interactions give you the impression that G

Where did you get that the LLM was as _intelligent_ as a human? All we've shown is that LLMs are as useful for parsing legal text as the average human. Which is to say, not. A dog is also as useful for parsing legal texts as the averag

Probably not. I'm not sure that pointing out that LLMs are as useful for parsing legal code as the average human is something to brag about though.

How do you define numbers in a meaningful way without involving operators? Without operators, all you have is a set of objects which you can't tell apart.
