Yep. Chain of thought is just more context disguised as "reasoning". I'm saying this as a RLHF'er going off purely what I see. Never would I say there is reasoning involved. RLHF in general doesn't question models s

Same could be said for Sudoku. How many times has it seen natural numbers 1-9 and Sudoku tutorials and board states crawling the entire public internet. And yet they can’t solve a Sudoku or even a half size board on their own.

Chronic “pain” as a spouse is the perfect metaphor. I can’t push through it, I have to use patience and understanding and it’s always somewhere on my mind. That’s the only way to make progress or be sane long term. I’ve grown and matured be

Based on ubiquitous AI trainer ads on the internet that advertise their pay, they probably make <=$50/hr training these models. Trainers are usually remote and set their own hours, so I wouldn’t be surprised if PhDs are not making m

Wow thank you. You’re right there’s likely some hidden assumptions that I had taken for granted that a unique solution is relying on when solving DE’s. I will have to read up to make this more clear mathematically, but at least mathematical

I don’t get these examples. 1) When we say the ball is at rest, and let’s grant it can be, doesn’t that mean velocity, acceleration, jerk, etc are all 0? And thus it will never move? There’s a single solution governing the ball if we say it

Teaching an LLM to solve a full sized Sudoku is not a goal right now. As an RLHF I’d estimate it would take 10-20 hours for a single RLHF’er to guide a model to the right answer for a single board. Then you’d need thousands of these for the
