Once, a customer complained that we had corrupted their documents on our platform. Seemingly out of nowhere, words like "Messi" and "Zidane" started appearing countless times in the titles and content of their documents

In Russian, OpenAI audio models usually have a slight American (?) accent. The intonation and the phonetics fall into the uncanney valley. Does the same happen in other languages?

I heard that aliasing in C prevents the compiler from optimizing aggressively. I can believe Rust's compiler can optimize more aggressively if there's no aliasing problem.

Prigozhin visited one of our prisons once; that’s the only violence there is. The paganism is not Slavic, it's Uralic. Local indigenous people are related to the Finns.

Manus means 'hand' in Latin. I thought that was the idea. Their logo is a picture of a hand, too. English "manuscript" comes from it.

Image diffusion has reasoning?
372.
by kgeist 2y ago
Yeah, but with autoregressive models, the state grows, whereas with diffusion models, it remains fixed. As a result, a diffusion model can't access its past thoughts (e.g., thoughts that rejected certain dead ends) and may start oscill

But how can test-time compute be implemented for diffusion models if they already operate on the whole text at once? Say it gets stuck—how does it proceed further? Autoregressive reasoning models would simply backtrack and try other approac

Also, sometimes a flag does exist, but the example places it incorrectly, causing the command to reject it. Or, a flag used to exist but was removed in the latest versions.

I use LLMs for writing generic, repetitive code, like scaffolding. It's OK with boring, generic stuff. Sure it makes mistakes occasionally but usually it's a no-brainer to fix them.

The next challenge could be making TypeScript types run an LLM. I wonder how their performance would compare to that of Excel sheets.

Russian has a similar distinction: if there are two "he's", you can use "on" (proximate) and "tot" (distant) to distinguish between them. Like, "he (on) said it was okay, but he (tot) disagreed&qu

Not everything can be wrapped in a single transaction, though. The problem in question involved talking to other services. Frameworks wouldn't help out of the box.

Having exceptions means that every line in your function is a potential exit point, often without you being aware of it. This can lead to bugs when a non-atomic operation is abruptly terminated, and you might not realize it just by glancing

We use RabbitMQ, and workers simply pull whatever is next in the queue after they finish processing their previous jobs. I’ve never witnessed jobs piling up for a single consumer.

It's easier to google something like "CalendarJS" rather than just "Calendar," which could give you anything but the JS library you're looking for. I think it’s simply practical.
