Who says that the people driving in that zip code are locals? Using the zip code normalizes for accidents in that location. But it doesn’t normalize for familiar vs unfamiliar roads.

Same here. Waited 10 seconds. Then gave up. If the list of models takes so long to load, why should I trust you with loading the models themselves? :)

You know that you can make any model call and use tools simply by giving it few shot examples and writing your own parsing logic. I’ve done it many times for clients, both at the prompt and at the fine-tune level.

Browser use is very easy. Can even do that headless. That way, you can also do bulk processing. For a client, I did some 16k websites with a simple LLM agent. With “computer use” how long would that take, and what would it cost? For me, it

What looks like “self awareness” is baked in during instruction tuning: Basically turning any input into a document completion task, giving lots of examples where the completion contains phases like “I am an AI assistant”. This way, if GPT-

Anna’s archive has files specifically for training LLMs. But I’d guess the big players secured their share beforehand, by scraping those sites. I have zero proof, it’s just a guess.

You’re right. They can actually do RLHF just using their users. Showing each of them slightly different generations and watching their behavior.

SEO spam is the façade you get to see as a user. The gold is all that you don’t see. Just because they don’t show it on page one doesn’t mean it won’t be useful for training.

I think you’d need to get a court order. You may be able to get that if you are a direct competitor. Essentially, unless you have a competitor who has a keen interest in making your life miserable, nothing will happen. The days were lawyers

The irony is… if you don’t have an impressum, where should they send their abmahnung? :) In 2008, they could still look up your WHOIS. But this doesn’t work anymore since GDPR.

Asimov was a machine. What did he not write about? Materials, space, science & exploration, physics, the Bible. They say Goethe was one of the last people in history who was still able to understand everything that was known up to then.

Written by a guy. Misses the most obvious remedy: Regular vacuuming. (And since that isn’t as cool as shopping for a particle counter, I guess the number of HN readers who will happily die a few days earlier is going to be much higher than

I’m curious what you mean. $9/mo for a tool targeting professional writers doesn’t sound that ludicrous to me.

Google has one moat that is often being overlooked: Googlebot. They get to scrape content that is invisible to pretty much every other crawler, thanks to Cloudflare and paywalls.

When was the last time you read a book from the 1960s? Or browsed files from a hard drive from the 90s? I guess the same will happen with brains.

Cool! I do the same thing with books like Asimov’s Earth and Space (science) or Lois Lowry’s Number the Stars (fictional history). What other books can you recommend?

It’s not about the verb. It’s about the point. The “weight” of the parts. Here, the point was that it “was nice” that they came visit.

Amazing! I’m sure where that story came from, there will be many more. I’d recommend recording the audio instead of doing live transcription. You can always transcribe it later. Any transcription you run five years from now is probably goin

It’s excellent. For those the speak German, there is also a fanatastic audio book read by an Austrian actor. It very much sounds like Zweig speaking because of the accent.
