You can imagine what you like. I can imagine a million examples of people being judged not guilty because intent could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. There are of course many injustices in the 'justice' system, but I wou

Expecting to go from having seen no code to being able to code within a context window is a pretty high bar. More useful would be asking for code that does something you're pretty confident no-one has done before. (TBH, when people cla

Their solution to that is to either use the cell phone network or services like amazon sidewalk where they connect in through your (or a neighbour's) internet-connected device.

There are many issues with OpenAI but the two situations are pretty significantly different.

How so? In my experience academics are far more likely to sweep big practical issues under the rug because they're primarily concerned with being something working one so they can write a paper, as opposed to making a product that has

Hmmm, I don't think that's necessarily true. Often times once I have witnessed a bug, I have found it just by reading through the code with the behaviour of the bug in mind. For LLMs, this is likely to be disproportionately effect

TBH I don't think it's that bad: the article is not hard to read and pretty informative (and is not just a copy + paste from a prompt), it's just got a hint of that tone which can grate just because it's rendered so clic

Funnily enough the legal system has dealt with people lying about their intentions before.

Sure, I'll agree it's often obtuse, I'm just saying it does communicate some information, however poorly.

It's a very idiosyncratic (and often irritating) style, but I don't find it particularly difficult to understand. It's not meaningless, just weirdly phrased.

LLMs get a lot of finetuning, but I suspect there are two things that can cause this kind of writing: Firstly, some parts of the RLHF involve human graders on the LLM's performance. I suspect their general bias towards a punchy, persua

I think anyone claiming 100% accuracy is wrong, but the recent Claude models, for example, have a writing style that is sufficiently distinct that claiming people can't recognize it is like claiming you can't recognize the styles

I think nowadays defeating the detection probably looks like finetuning a smaller LLM and getting it to paraphrase the text from the other one (or just using a more obscure finetune: it'll probably have its own cliches and habits but i

I do think there is a tendency to over-index on one or two particularly straightforward tells, and for any given feature of LLM writing you can find places where people do also use that feature (they had to learn it from somewhere, and in a

I don't think this is about edge cases where someone has successfully disguised the writing to some degree: the current crop of LLMs have some pretty blatant (and frankly annoying) habits by default, ones that are hard to miss once you

It's less about the IP ranges they're giving out not overlapping and more about the requests that they respond to not overlapping (or at least that they don't contradict one another). The classic 'someone plugged a consu

Hmmm, In my experience programmers are often not particularly good at networking, and this can result in all kinds of bad assumptions (or awkward workarounds for things that could be much better solved at the network level).

>which is arguably quite an effective way to distribute limited resources to the public. I would argue in a lot of cases it isn't: especially in cases where the resources are intended to go to people who are struggling in some way.

TBH these rights have been pretty easy to assert beforehand: I've told multiple friends complaining about their landlords what rights they do have and that in a lot of cases they can assert them by inaction (normally, not signing a con

The UK rental rights don't really have rent controls as they're normally conceived: the two limits are rent can only go up once a year and that it must be roughly in line with similar properties in the market or area, i.e. explici

Switches and firewalls can do all kinds of things. Probably the most common case is that public/guest wifi networks often have client isolation set up so that different devices on the network can't contact each other. Same subnet,

The ordering is stupid because some of them are named by the number of bits and some of them are named by the number of decimal digits. They are in order of size and this is the largest one so far, despite the confusing names.
