In short term yeah, it will probably be too muddy. But it will dry over time and in the long term this unlocked a completely new axis of attack for Ukrainians. Similarly in the downstream regions. The water will go away eventually and it wi

It will also make it easier for Ukraine to attack upstream when the reservoir is empty. In places where there are virtually no Russian defenses. So that's a win for Ukraine.

Is Troika! popular? I had a 1-on-1 session of Troika! and I really enjoyed the vibe, but I found it hard to find people interested in this particular style of play.

Shameless self-promotion, I have recently written a blog about this. ChatGPT actually is usually a little bit worse than older models for these classical NLP tasks. Of course the older models are not zero-shot. https://www.opensa

Maybe I am missing something, but I don't entirely understand what exactly is the novelty of RLHF in this case. RL is a long-standing field and it is being trained based on human inputs for decades. Even the first paper you mention as

I don't think they are taken that seriously. They are writing their op-eds and fiery papers, but the field marches forward nevertheless. But I agree that the whole fields seems like ivory-tower types trying to hijack the latest hottest

You can argue that there might be some similarities or analogies to be made. But that's it. The book is actually very irrelevant and it had literally no impact on how these new systems were created and conceptualized.

I think it's quite common for competitive programmers and code golfers to have their own language, often inspired by APL. They often do not require any ecosystem as they are supposed to only solve puzzles, so it's really easy to d

Yeah, this was my first reaction as well. It's incredibly hard to tell how much signal is in a metric like this. I can imagine two papers or two grant proposal with significantly different degrees of novelty that have the exact same re

Yep, the data requirements are especially condemning. We have recently scaled from using Wikipedia as a training corpus to basically the entire Internet. And it helped a lot. But where are we going to scale next? There is simply not enough

What about Oroville dam repairs? It was a pretty successful and fast engineering project. I think that America can still build quickly if she wants to. But most of the projects are not that important.

Do you really need a reader that is too lazy to click on your article? And from the reader point of view, I assume that whatever is written in twitter threads is not really that important, since the authors could not be bothered with writin
