People sometimes forget that we had 2-3 years before ChatGPT of fairly high-quality LLMs (from Microsoft, Meta, Google), but they would have to take them down after a few weeks of being released because they became too controversial. Galact

The Spanish voice has an interesting accent: 85% Castillian (from Spain) pronunciation, with a few unexpected Latin American tonalities and phonemes (especially "s") sprinkled in. I guess it's what you'd expect from aver

The studies discussed in the article state that practice accounts for just 26% (violin playing) and 18% (athletic performance) of what counts for being elite. So no, the whole point is that a swimmer with the wrong build wouldn't get a

Could someone recommend a good maths research book that covers the whole messy discovery process, rather than just the end result? I don't mind in which field, and it's fine if it's quite formal (not looking for pop science).

You are right if you define “me” as body and brain, what they can do. What I am more focused on is: what impact “me” as an individual person (an independent human agent) can have on my environment. We build technology mostly to optimize for

I've always thought that it is a bit close-minded to focus on wearable technology when it comes to human augmentation. Vehicles and computers are, in practice, much more powerful and feasible augmentations than literal sci-fi robot lim

The weaker model is just a stand-in for human supervisors. They are experimenting on GPT-2 supervising GPT-4 as an analogue to humans supervising the superhuman AGI.

Yes that makes sense. I am not familiar enough with llama.cpp, but from what I see they have mostly copy-pasted it into WasmEdge for the WASI-NN implementation. Surely a simple compiled binary of llama.cpp is better than Rust compiled to WA

I'm all for Rust and WASM, but if you look at the code it's just 150 lines of a basic Rust command-line script. All the heavy lifting is done by a single line passing the model to the WASI-NN backend, which in this case is provide

Alright let me go over all the points. But you clearly care about finding a tool to help you with your work and are quite critical of any half-assed solutions. I would love to work together to literally make a custom tool just for you that

Never rely on the AI's own "memory". GPT-4 can remember a lot of deep technical things correctly from its training, but it can also write non-factual statements that look perfectly reasonable. We only use LLMs to retrieve and
