I use ChatGPT for queries like, "translate XYZ to English," particularly for short phrases where I don't care if it's exactly right; good enough works. For everything else, I still use search.

Just a comment, every catastrophe has victims, survivors, and lasting consequences. I didn't mean to trivialize that in my response. Regardless, life goes on.

That's his point. In the moment, everyone panics and thinks XYZ catastrophe is the end of the world as we know it. In hindsight, it never is. But who knows?! Maybe this is the time...

I was under the impression that CoT works because spitting out more tokens = more context = more compute used to "think." Using CoT as a way for LLMs "show their working" never seemed logical, to me. It's just extra

I think the parent poster is incorrect; it is about precision, not about being compact. There is exactly one interpretation for how to parse and execute a computer program. The opposite is true of natural language.

Driver's license is the defacto ID used everywhere. Which kind of makes no sense but that's the way it is. Just about everyone has one and arguments that requiring an ID to vote would disenfranchise citizens don't sound belie

Can you specify the output dimensions? EDIT: Seems not, "The smallest image size I can generate is 1024x1024. Would you like me to proceed with that, or would you like a different approach?"

Well that's his point. But in the context of this discussion, if he's writing a post about English idioms and expressions and writes like that, no one is going to take his opinion seriously.

Yeah but, it's one thing to informally refer to it as the STL; people will know what you're talking about. It's another to write an article about the standard library and say "The C++ standard library (also know as the S

Whatever Tesla uses for its voice navigation just works every time. No idea why Siri (and Alexa) still have such poor command recognition by comparison.
