is there a reason why all state is in the server? what about cases where you'd want to keep client-side state, like those strictly related to UI/UX? (very interesting project nonetheless!)

It depends on what you mean by function. I did an internship at Coca-Cola in Brazil a decade ago. They had ~500 employees country-wide, mainly marketing and operation strategy folks. The production of the actual beverages and other products

Which reminds me of https://fivebooks.com/ , where people from a particular field are asked their top five book recommendations for a given theme. The interview format is great, and I've picked up a few recommended book

It seems you are mistaking the actual book (a story, an exposition of a subject, etc.) for the printed set of cover and pages, which is only a physical instance of the book itself. Writing your notes in a separate medium is just as much en

Nope, not random behavior. ChatGPT works by predicting the continuation of a sentence. It has been trained in enough data to emulate some pretty awesome and deep statistical structure in human language. Some studies even argue it has built

Any analogy is incorrect if you stretch it enough, otherwise it wouldn't be an analogy... My clock analogy works up to this: ChatGPT success in factually answering a query is merely a happy coincidence, so it does not work well as a pr

by pedrosbmartins 4y ago
what? the argument here is that ChatGPT giving factual answers is a mere coincidence, not at all what the model was trained to do. It's a broken clock, it can tell you the correct time at very specific contexts, but you shouldn't

I believe they tackle this exact bias. From the Sampling Effects section: > Second, the choice of CDS n-grams could lead to a "recency bias” in our results, explaining their rise in prevalence in recent decades. We control for this

I remember reading a while ago about a group of quantum physicist that believe in a fundamental barrier to the construction of useful quantum computers. Is that still the case, or is it generally believed that a large-scale, useful quantum

To be fair, the author does acknowledge this, though he doesn't cite Gauss. > FFT – Fast Fourier Transform – was invented in the 1805 and then, once again, in 1965.

Well, I'd argue that the gap between making racist remarks and committing greater acts of racism is a bit smaller than the one between criticizing inequality and emulating the mass genocide of a communist regime. Although the other OP

by pedrosbmartins 5y ago
How is that even a valid comparison? It is logical that making fun of people for characteristics related to race could be escalated to more serious racist behavior, and therefore should be discouraged. But where is the logical connection be

Of course you can understand your own goals. You decided to reply to my comment, that's a goal. You used your existing knowledge of the world, language and technological tools to achieve it. And you did! Can a goal-oriented model do so

by pedrosbmartins 6y ago
You have to be careful when anthropomorphizing AI models. Yes, goal-driven optimization is a thing, but in what sense does the model itself "want" to achieve its goal? Can it even understand its own goal, in any sense? Change it?

I don't believe that's true. For instance, banking and electricity are highly regulated markets, and rightly so. In this cases, I think it is obviously critical for the government to draw expertise from the right sources

I agree with you, but if you exchange personal liberty for personal privacy in OP's comment, it does get a bit closer to reality. We have been giving up privacy on behalf of individualism (for the sake of consumption, as you state), an

I don't think this quote refutes the author's point. Tolkien was vehemently denying that his works were allegorical, in the sense that one should not look for deeper, hidden meaning in the LOTR or any other tale set in Middle-Eart
