I'm not sure the initial comment lends itself to that reading, but it isn't clear it lends itself to my initial response either, so I'll switch over to your more charitable reading. Thanks!

Your contention is that any and all poor performance is due to the pandemic, not in any way related to Brexit? I'm not sure 2022 looks quite as good as you're suggesting, but it's clear the pandemic had a profound impact, cer

Not only Tesla, though. My 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV is 1670 kg.

I just looked it up. My new EV weighs 3680 lbs[0], or 1670 kg, which seems to be below average[1]. I still pay nothing in gas taxes, the primary funding for road maintenance. That doesn't seem quite right. I'd be happy to pay an a

Apple has two values in conflict with each other, I think. On the one hand, they want to deliver best-in-class solutions. On the other hand, they have a commitment to user privacy[0] as perhaps only a gay man growing up in the south might v

Anyone with any political opinions at all is ideologically aligned in that sense, making them ideologically affiliated with anyone sharing that alignment. NPR, as it happens, has run many stories that seemed aligned with the right or the le

In which case there's no reason to be unkind, either! If you can communicate the truth with kindness and be heard, great. If not, move on. In my experience, unkindness isn't any more effective than kindness in effecting change; it

If embracing Nazis is considered "leftist sacred cows," those words have little meaning.

Verification for everyone makes no sense to me. I don't care if @JohnSmith is the John Smith from Seattle, or the John Smith from Miami, or the John Smith from anywhere else, especially since there are likely more than one John Smith i

Alternatively, huge internet vibes. Not everything that catches fire is destined to leave nothing but ashes in its wake.

That's fraud, but outside the purview of the IRS. The program was administered by the SBA.

Don't get me wrong, there is a great big world outside the US, but for a lot of things, the US is the market that matters. It's where the loose money is, and US tax law reaches around the world to US citizens everywhere.

It was a yes/no question! It's like trying to nail jello to a wall, so I'll stop trying to ask what you actually mean.

It's very clearly sarcasm. Retributive justice is not just.

Is your claim that all reasoning is ultimately math we do unconsciously? That humans "reason" via word-association and probability? That seems to be what you're suggesting, but I don't want to conclude that without you

These are tests which require reasoning in humans . A human can't reasonably be expected to pass Quant or Verbal tests without reasoning about the information given, but--and I can't stress this enough--large language models ar

Right, as a human , I would presumably learn French for a variety of reasons, including overlap of vocabulary, a familiarity with French loan-words in English, and a very human general inability to memorize or even think in numbers well. T

Once I saw step 1, I initially stopped reading, knowing it had failed. But continuing to read, I now see that at step 1, the hoje eats the mantiple, and at step 3, the hoje eats the blurple. Then at step 4, the hoje eats the mantiple a seco

Again, that's not how "working memory" works in the research. "Working memory" is considered over a time span of minutes, not fractional seconds.

Never "random nonsense," but always probablistic sequences which could be nonsensical or not, without it ever knowing which. The probablistic nature of the responses make "nonsense" unlikely, but since it lacks understan

Right, for a human, presumably it would be easier to go ahead and learn the language. But that begs the question. We already know LLMs tokenize words, so they have definitely generated and stored such a table. The marvelous step forward fro

I did this with Chat-GPT, public March 14 version at chat.openai.com: >> Suppose I have a blurple, a mantiple and a hoje, and I need to get them across a river. I have a boat that can only carry myself and a single other item. I am no

I think you missed the point of the parent comment. My experience with ChatGPT is that it responds to each and every thing sent to it. It doesn't seem to have the ability to not respond. The original question was, given that there were

My mistake! I mis-remembered the original Google paper[0], which stated only that the image was in the Stable Diffusion training set. The complete set of "matches" they got were interesting, even while the number was very low. 0.
