Ironic, right? Given that the web once was touted as the place of meritocracy where you don’t have any of those evil gatekeepers as you had in print or television. Now those gatekeepers are algorithms deployed by monopolies. Gatekeeper Hell

When I was younger, I read some self help book. The author, in an attempt to prove the effectiveness of resolve, said the had written the entire book in a day. I put it away immediately and never read any further. If this dude didn’t spend

One reason for that is that, like with ideas, society benefits, from styles intermixing. So making them "copyrightable" would be to the detriment of society. But the other reason might be that it has just not been feasible to actu

You can use ONXX versions of embedding models. Those run faster on CPU. Also, don’t discount plain old BM25 and fastText. For many queries, keyword or bag-of-words based search works just as well as fancy 1536 dim vectors. You can also do t

That was great. No chronic lead poisoning after all. Lead poisoning started only within ~100 days before his death, mostly caused by medical interventions (lead based antiseptic, lead based medicine) when he was treated for symptoms of an u

Even the handle is still intact. That would be quite a feat for one person’s lifetime. But for 2,000 years? Imagine how that glassmaker would feel if someone had told him.

CoT works because it’s an instruction the LLM has encountered in its instruction-tuning (and, to a smaller extend, in its original training data). You could fine tune a base model to respond to every question by first outlining steps (sub p

Sounds super interesting. Any notes or slides or anything you can share?

You can. Simply use the base models. You can do anything once you ditch the RLHF and the instruction tuning. Then, even those 7b versions are mindblowingly good. But you’ll need to either change your prompting style or do your own fine-tuni

Well. The partner staying home in the 1940s also rendered services to the family. Services that now need to be purchased from outside. So really, it’s always two people spending their waking hours. Only I suspect that in the 1940s, things w

Reminds me of a stand up comedian who said about AI: “People are afraid that AI will take their jobs. But if it’s really that intelligent, it’s gonna let _us_ do the work”.

Isn’t that rather some kind of tragedy of the commons thing? I mean the system isn’t rigged because of those who care. But because of everyone else who doesn’t.

Do you rather read a tutorial or watch a YouTube video? Personally, I find reading is a much more interactive activity. You can seek, you can skip, you can summarize, you can repeat. Innoway, it is much closer and deeper than a conversation
