+1 on verbosity - it happened when switching from 4t to 4o I think, and personally I don’t like it. Should be fizable with system prompt though.

I knew some people from OpenAI at the time of GPT2 development, and indeed that was their rationale - dangerous and needs to be released responsibly. Never before could people produce so much spam and fake news at once - I think this was th

Curious - how does the board look like in your head? Is it a specific 3d board? Or a 2d image of a board? Does it have colour, texture, etc? Does it always look the same? As an aphant I always wondered how can people play chess by just ment

Asking if they see black is a wrong test, because people with imagination also see black, just they can see other things on top. A better test is: Ask them to imagine a ball on a table, then ask what color is the ball. So far almost everyon

Spatial imagination and visual are two different things it seems. I am a visual aphant, but I can imagine objects in virtual 3d space - kind of like a blind person navigating through touch. It’s just that objects are points/lines and I

A simpler test. Imagine a ball on a desk. What color is the ball? People who are #1 respond immediately, just as if you asked them about a real object in front of them. #4/#5 will ask “what do you mean what’s the color? I can imagine i

99% of people have this ability to visualise. And yeah, it’s crazy that they are allowed to drive! Isn’t it distracting? Seeing stuff in front of you when you should be looking at the road?

There was research into this and you’re right that it doesn’t correlate necessarily. People with aphantasia are absolutely crap though with drawing anything from memory, but they can draw if something is in front of them.

Same here. Plus aphantasia. Explains why I had such difficulty singing my whole life. It must be way easier if you can just recall a song in your head and match its pitch!

There are some surprisingly objective tests for aphantasia - fmri shows it pretty clearly, but also imagining bright things causes iris to change in normal people but not in people with aphantasia. You could say that aphants just may not be

As someone with recently diagnosed aphantasia - it’s surreal that 99% population sees things that aren’t there / literally halucinates, and that it’s considered normal!

There's also trams, and the bike infrastructure - 9 out of 12 month I use virtually only scooters / bikes to travel around. And that is from Saska Kępa travelling to Mokotów/Żoliborz/Wola/Ochota.

Wow, this explains a lot, in my case. I wonder if the fatigue is i dividual-specific. I’m definitely hit after 20-30 min, regardless of my interest in exhibition, whilst my ex could spend hours browsing.

That is true only for simple systems that don't change often and that have a single view of the data. For most real world use cases your approach is break even at best, and often way worse.

It's not a simple linear scale of regulations and no regulations. EU is arguably more regulated than California, but the regulations here have more sense to them, and arguably higher benefit to cost ratio.

Do you have experience with such roads? I do - we used to not have real highways 10-20 years ago. And the main issue with not overtaking a car-truck that is going just 60 (in your case) is that sooner or later they will encounter someone go

I feel that parental leave is a strawman argument used in lieu of true issues. That is - I’ve heard radical feminists use it as a way of showing that they care about mens’ rights, while ignoring education/father/violence issues.

Not in flight, but Nerva had multiple prototypes built and tested - the longest run being over an hour long. It was cancelled due to politics, not technical viability. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NERVA
