Actually, I think this benchmark did the right thing, that I wish more benchmarks would do. I'm much less interested in what the differences between compilers are than in what the actual output will be if I ask a professional Go or No

None — it's tag characters instead, which are used to represent emojis. But there's no difference! Either you can smuggle text in Unicode, or you can't. It's quite binary, and you don't gain advantages from having &

Granted, technically speaking emojis are not part of the "Unicode Standard", but they are standardized by the Unicode Consortium and constitute "Unicode Technical Standard #51": https://www.unicode.org/re

The original title was not poorly worded though. The new one was editorialized to get a certain reaction out of readers — I promise you the responses on this thread would look different with the original title.

This was also my thinking — if you ask ChatGPT to design a DB schema design it often looks good at first glance but is actually pretty bad. If a candidate uses AI as a help to solve their task, yet the output is still good, great! It's

For context, the take home we're looking to do would happen after we've already interviewed them. We're not thinking of anything huge — something like an hour of work. We're also doing a paid trial period, though that

What they're saying is rather, "I don't want to engage in a social network that is an echo chamber of someone else's beliefs."

This is such an odd comment. In the thread you linked, Gwern says in response to someone else that NNs excel at many complex real-world tasks even if there are some tasks where they fail but humans (or other models) succeed. You try to co

Election betting is legal. But that doesn't mean it's unregulated (which Polymarket is).

Ridiculous is also that they say this when Polymarket gave Trump only 60%-40% odds. They're falling for the same logical fallacy as everyone who knows nothing about prediction markets.

You're not missing anything — that's exactly how it is. There's nothing that stipulates that US companies must sell to other US companies, and it's a great place for investments & startups, so even if Polymarket isn&

Even if election bets are legal, the betting market is still highly regulated.

Not without latency. Unless you make sure everything's on the edge? But that is way more complicated anyways — now you have two systems to maintain, instead of just a single client-only JS app.

by n2d4 2y ago
The map kind of does. It's really nice to just click on different dots and see different cities with no latency or page load. I think the right way to implement this is as an SPA with `history.push` for shareable URLs.

Highly unlikely. The more likely truth is just that the default temperature of ChatGPT is really low (but not quite zero); so it keeps spitting out (roughly) the same story. It does switch up protagonists a bit and different versions of Cha

I thought the implicit assumption in their comment was that OP/grandparent isn't American.

It's anecdotal, but the easiest way to understand them is to just travel to a conservative state and talk to them. Even if you won't agree, you'll see that they exist

This is IMO one of the coolest use cases of AI. With a half-decent prompt, an LLM is pretty good at tasks like those.

Yes, but it would've been much more interesting to read about title drops where this is not the case. The top titledrops listed that are not names of a character are all names of something else, like locations or objects.

"Subtly different"? It's not even remotely the same thing, all they have in common is that the unit is %. The betting probability is the (expected) chance that a certain candidate wins, while polls measure the % of population
