Not a U.S. lawyer, but check the concept of "puffery."

Realms of the Haunting is unique. I’d love a modern remake. Folks who haven’t played this-the playthrough by Kikoskia is quite interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_mkpxHcdew

I remember synthesizing H2S in high school (for chemistry practicals, I think). I made the mistake of attempting to smell it. This was for a fraction of a second—but during that time, I could feel the individual bubbles of gas entering my

I adopted Chrome almost as soon as it was released. Chrome was better than the other browsers available at that time. Firefox was a mess, and Internet Explorer... well, best left unsaid.

Quick question: what would you estimate the running cost of Llama 2 70b to be? (On GPU, and assuming maximum utilization)?

Agreed. Worse, you don't want to be in a position where any single company can end your business at the flip of a switch.

We have. This is acceptable for some clients, but not for others. Both groups, however, prefer maintaining complete control over their data, given the chance. Edit: plus, my personal view is that local LLMs are the future. They've alre

Data security and privacy. Our clients (in aviation, finance, etc.) need this due to legal and regulatory reasons. Also, the new Llama 2 models are very powerful. In my testing, Llama 2 70b is comparable to GPT-3.5 in capability. (Shameless

If I remember correctly, Enrico Fermi’s wife was Jewish. This forced him to migrate to the U.S.

My understanding is that in NTK aware RoPE scaling, the model does pay uniform attention. With older methods, not as much.

There is a magic about the character movements in PoP. I recently replayed it—almost 30 years after I first played it. There is a fluidity in how the prince moves that is still impressive today. I understand that Jordan Mechner put in a ton

Yes. Whether we like it or not, AI is with us to stay. A skill that AI can easily supplant is a skill that will become outdated very quickly. We're better off teaching students how to use AI effectively. Hopefully this will "futur

Same here. The researchers I know in medicine all seem to use word.

I think you'd need to offload the model into CoreML to do so, right? My understanding is that none of the current popular inference frameworks do this (not yet, at least).

Yup. In Sri Lanka we calls chilies "miris," and pepper "gam miris" (translation: village chilies). I guess folks originally used pepper as the way to set their mouths on fire; and once introduced, happily jumped over to

Not an academic here, but I've read (and continue to read) through research papers regularly. The original bitcoin paper is a great example. I was able to follow the paper almost fully at my first read itself—despite my not having a fo

My experience with RAG is that while it reduces the incidence of hallucinations* significantly (especially if you reduce the LLM temperature to zero at the same time), it doesn't eliminate them. My startup has a product for lawyers tha

Mainly for data processing, and almost exclusively "open-source" LLMs now (essential given our focus on industries with tons of confidential data). Let me plug my startup's website, which describes what we do: https:/&#

The stuff I do with LLMs is pretty conventional and wouldn't trigger even the most conservative content filter. However, the idea that a company can gatekeep LLMs to the point where you're at their mercy makes me feel angry. I&#x2

Going on a tangent here: there's a reason medicine is heavily regulated—because of the lessons we've learned the hard way. The same reason law is also heavily regulated. Some of these lessons have become obscured by time, unfortun

This is unsubstantiated. The only folks who know exactly how GPT-4 works are employed at OpenAI. The rest of us can only guess.
