The common definition of Benford's Law is written in terms of base 10 (or 100, 1000, etc. for subsequent digits), but the underlying principle applies to any base (I'm pretty sure this includes non-integer bases, though I'm

When there are more teams but the min/max skill is unchanged, they must be closer together, so the base is lower. When there are fewer teams, farther apart, the base is higher. The number of teams is constrained by "we need enough

It tends to happen for any prompt that calls for generating a piece of output for which there are many valid answers, but one is highly weighted and you want variety. Do you remember that meme a few years ago where people were asked to gene

It's not a complete coincidence. Very many sets of random numbers are uniformly distributed on a logarithmic scale. See for example Benford's Law. Fibonacci numbers are just a rounded version of phi^x. So the only coincidences are

Has there been an LLM that reliably does not ignore the word "not"? Because I'm pretty sure that's a regression compared to most prior NLP.

The same one who guarantees that it's really your ID: nobody.

Because in a "free" nation, that means "free to run malware" not "free from malware". By far most malware is legal and a portion of its income is used to fund election campaigns.

If Google only does this when you tie your identity to a real-world ID, and refuses to auto-grant it for people whose accounts are more than 18 years old, then this is just a data heist. For reference, 2007 is 18 years ago.

It's worth noting that the data in that benchmark is tiny (28MB). While this varies between database engines, "one transaction for everything" means keeping some kind of allocations alive. The optimal transaction size is diff

This does not appear to be the case for LibreOffice in my tests.

To be even more clear, LibreOffice also has a splash screen. I haven't run it this boot, and I just timed myself taking 7.5 seconds to start Writer, close the welcome popup, and quit. By feel, about half of that was waiting for the loa

Write an article that he's likely to be interested in reading, spread the link, then mine the browser data just like every other website.

"Large" generally means "bigger than RAM"; 10GB is medium-sized these days since it fits in most people's RAM. Does the browser actually have the (web worker?) APIs needed to stream and "upload" and "

From what I can tell, this all should apply only to monetized apps (and I agree with that). If that's not actually the case, Google is using malicious compliance to misguide developers into hating the EU for daring to regulate them.

F-Droid has apps with the "ads" anti-feature, so this probably applies to them.

The parameters (prompt, etc.) should be set only in the new modelfile (passed to `ollama create`), using a FROM referencing the previous ollama model. Parameters in a Modelfile override the hard-coded parameters from the GGUF itself (whic

Pretty sure the whole reason Ollama uses raw hashes everywhere is to avoid copying the whole NN gigabytes every time.

I don't think this particular LLM flaw is fundamental. However, it is a an inevitable result of the alignment choice to downweight responses of the form "you're a dumbass," which real humans would prefer to both give a

To be fair, we have a grand total of two independent examples to learn from. No form of economy/government will protect you from being pillaged by a more powerful neighbor. (There's some word I'm trying to think of that ref

Never contort your reasoning to attribute to incompetence what is much better explained by malice. Especially when politics or money is involved, malice should be the assumed default.

Some minor notes: * Text adventures are a case where it is really advantageous to separate the declaration and definition of objects, since cycles are ubiquitous. For C, consider X-macros, tentative definitions (not in C++, sadly), and us

All MLC SSDs absolutely do data checksums and error recovery, otherwise they would very lose your data much more than they do. You can see some stats using `smartctl`.

I got distracted following the references to RFCs and noticed a nice number: 2*7*24*60 = 047300 # two weeks, in minutes This is not a coincidence. Ignoring the trailing zeros, we have: 5*7*011 = 5*077 = 5*0100 - 5 = 0473
