Yeah, it propagates the problem because the price signal never makes it to the consumer.

Also not helped by the need for science communicatio. to always justify itself with description of potential applications, even when they're really far from any practical application.

And often the credit card companies try to enforce this by writing wording into their contracts that try to stop merchants offering different prices for different payment methods.

Overhead means it's gonna cost more than a few cents each.

More difficult to built, more difficult to get permission, ironically, and presumably the datacenters are planning to employ some people so they'll want to live at least somewhat nearby.

The irony is, given the UK's single energy market and the bottlenecks moving that energy down from Scotland, building datacenters further south will push up Scotland's energy prices as well, more so than if they were built locally

This is just another 'people should just agree with me' that operates on a meta-level.

That's, uh, a wildly overestimated cost of certification. Most products you can self-certify, even off the back of your own testing.

I hate it when politicians are useless and incompetent, since it just validates the false populist propaganda that the current politicians are only useless and incompetent (and of course the populists are totally competent).

There are already places that will take an annual fee for dealing with this bureaucracy for you, as well.

The crazy part is the interlink: flash bandwidth scales very well with capacity, the challenge is getting that much bandwidth in and out of the chip.

by rcxdude 2mo ago
Yeah, this seems pretty straightforward to test.

It still doesn't have a great reputation.

That approach is pretty much what I was describing. The example in the paper uses the previous 4 tokens to derive the bias for the next token, so some 5 token sequences become more likely and others becomes less likely compared to what the

In theory you could do this with facebook but the defaults matter and they defaulted to sharing very widely. With chat it's obviously and understandably bounded (at least unless a member of the group takes a positive action to forward&

I don't recall most forums being particularly welcoming either or very good knowledge bases. Probably the main difference is the default for visibility of non-members, which does make a little bit of difference but I think if you want

I mean, I would describe most forums in the same way, and yet they persist as well. The main thing is not the details of the interface, but the fact that the systems allow creating your own community, and discord has made this significantly

To buyers as well. I don't recall the switch to LCDs being particularly pushed, though I was admittedly quite young at the time. Especially keep in mind that people today are generally comparing the absolute top-tier of CRTs which were

Again, you keep mentioning intelligence but you talk more like you're talking about awareness/'understanding'/semantics. I agree that these are tricky things to define precisely but there is a reason they are differ

Because in order to not break the token selection process you are making decisions biased by the LLM's output, and in order to make the watermark detectable without the entire context, you are making those decisions based on a relative
201.
by rcxdude 2mo ago
This obviously stops working as soon as you don't have the entire context. To reliably detect a subset of the LLM's output you need to do something more sophisticated but also more invasive.
202.
by rcxdude 2mo ago
I'm not sure the watermark has been demonstrated to have that kind of property. Even if you use a CSRNG as the 'key' once you're feeding it through the token selection process it's going to risk re-introducing certa

The thing is it doesn't really need creative counter-arguments, it's basically just assuming its conclusion. If you disagree with the conclusion, the argument is nonsense because Searle is just saying 'well the man doesn&#x27

While I think those calling for charges know not what precedent they are trying to set.

Similar in kind, but not degree. An LLM is a lot more intelligent than the google search bar.

I don't find it's particularly hard to define loosely, but then I don't think of it as a special property of humans other than it tends to be quite high in them. But we are obviously talking about different things and if you&

The google search bar is surprisingly smart sometimes. What's your definition of intelligence that completely excludes most of what a computer does?
208.
by rcxdude 2mo ago
The Chinese Room mainly just posits a room that passes the Turing Test, which LLMs do pretty well outside of outright adversarial situations.

by rcxdude 2mo ago
Intelligence isn't a binary property. Is it really a problem to say that a calculator has some intelligence? That it's more intelligent than e.g. a rock?

by rcxdude 2mo ago
bzip is not very intelligent, true, but it does develop some model of its input. It's not like there's a linear relationship between between compression ratio and IQ or anything.
