Laura Chambers is only the interim CEO. In the original announcement post, it was stated that she would stay for the "remainder of this year", and Chambers later said that she would move to Australia in 2024 [1]. [1] https:/

Company benefits are also a form of salary. If your company gifts you a free car, they have to tax it as such.

Yes, swipe up on your keyboard and choose "Scribble". It used to be the default input method, which it no longer is, but personally I still prefer it even for English texts.

If anything then that means that they work! Situations with a 25% chance do occur sometimes! If prediction markets show 75% odds and are right 3/4 times, they are doing their job well - if they show 75% odds and right 4/4 times, t

Arbitrary means: It's "easy" (square root) to find two numbers that resemble each other in a sufficiently large set, but neither of them will resemble anything meaningful. It's still "hard" to find a number tha

It's not a "minuscule number" because visionOS is controlled by looking at things and pinching your fingers. If people subconsciously stare at the edges of a square button, can you imagine how often they'll misclick? (mi

The particular account in question [1] does enough unrelated stuff to make me believe it's just a patriot who genuinely believes those countries belong to China. Sounds strange until you remember that some people like to start confront

The externalities are on the new products, not the right to repair, so a true pigouvian tax would be on the sale of products that can contaminate our environment regardless of repairability. (Otherwise, people would still be encouraged to j

by n2d4 3y ago
Right to repair wouldn't be a pigouvian tax. There are no negative externalities to selling a product that is unrepairable — no one but the buyer gets harmed by it — it's just that people buy products before sufficiently informing

Very little most likely. The first step of GPT retrieves for each token a corresponding embedding vector, which is then what's used in the rest of the model. I'd assume those vectors are nearly the same for "color" and &

In this case, the VC doesn't shut down entirely just yet, they keep managing old investments but no longer raise new money for new funds. According to them, this has been their plan since they founded the company.

You're right, here's a list of all GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 glitch tokens (and it features the token above, too, so I guess I was wrong to assume it's new): https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/kmWrwtGE9B9hpbgRT&#x2F

This is a glitch token [1]! As the article hypothesizes, they seem to occur when a word or token is very common in the original, unfiltered dataset that was used to make the tokenizer, but then removed from there before GPT-XX was trained.

They didn't set an "expiration date", the founders and Eric Schmidt just made a pact to stay at Google for 20 years together. It's a promise that Eric Schmidt already broke in 2020 anyways, so putting any weight into thi

I mean, that's just being overly pedantic. Surely you see a difference between these two pieces of code? while (true) { redraw(); } and while (true) { waitForAndProcessNextEvent(); redraw();

There's a loop yes, but not an event loop - the other argument is that you can have a loop that runs every frame, and you just rerender the whole thing

by n2d4 3y ago
If you do that, you have an event loop again (like in the OP), which your comment's grandparent was trying to get rid of (and your parent explained to them why they can't).

Disagreed, the limit is what gives the game a constraint and makes it interesting IMHO. I like to have something that makes me fail because I care less about optimizing a score, more about beating it in the first place. Different people pla
