Those solutions are totally inadequate with regard to intangible values. It's as if you simply dismissed the emotional weight of GP's very real point, which is that the edge cases are singular and important. A rented room regardle

I love this book. I read it 20 years ago as a college freshman and it had a huge impact on my vision of the world and how intelligence is not some innate, isolated property but a matter of an individual coupled and coordinating with an envi

He is not right. His original claim was that new authors are mostly wealthy. All he did was weaken his claim until it was (more, but not actually) supportable. Further, to address your own point, they are not even the representation of succ

"all the time" is not correct. Because just as well, people "all the time" correctly judge people to be credible.

"Most authors in the Western cannon" as a group is not representative of most authors, Western or otherwise.

Treating someone with skepticism is a function of judgement of sincerity. Not sure how that is in any way in disagreement with my point. Which is that we should and must exercise judgement of persons' interior properties in court.

What historical data do you have?
68.
by ryanklee 3y ago
Yes, all of which sentencing is also based on human judgement of persons character, witness statements, expert statements, presentation of evidence, etc etc Judgement of sincerity is woven into the entirety of court procedures. Why would yo

by ryanklee 3y ago
I think it's rather unfair to say that we can't accurately judge sincerity unless you talk about levels of precision. Because, for instance, accuracy in judgment of sincerity is a basic requirement of getting through any day for a

I didn't say we should, I asked if someone's admittance of guilt and their sincerity is relevant to sentencing measures.
71.
by ryanklee 3y ago
That has no relevance to my question. What I want to know is if admittance of guilt and sincerity is at all relevant to sentencing, not about whether a particular mechanism is fit to determine either point.

by ryanklee 3y ago
That wasn't my question.

> Most new authors are likely subsidized by their wealthy families. You think most new authors have wealthy families? That is a very odd assumption, given how hard it is to write a book... and given how low the returns are... and given h

Shouldn't a person's admittance of guilt and the sincerity of that admittance be a factor in determining their sentence?

None of that makes any sense.

They should threaten and pressure him and Twitter until he shoves off into the abyss. The guy is an existential threat.

He's not being principled, he's being an asshole.

But it's not clear at all. So maybe back off the take downs until you have better data.

That's right. What matters most here is whether he might be just as healthy if he'd just exercise regularly and eat a decent diet.

Nobody of any interest said this. This is something you are saying now using a thin rhetorical strategy meant to make you look correct over an opponent that doesn't exist.

I'm aware of that. My point is that if you have fundamental incoherence in the model behaviors, you're not going to solve it through prompting. To get performance gains through prompting, you first need model behaviors that are ab

by ryanklee 3y ago
Performance gains are greater given greater incentives. So, yes, potentially anything will work, but some things work better.

RAG just puts more info into a prompt. It wouldn't effect the underlying behaviors in any way a non-RAG supported prompt would.

You say this is as if it's settled and obvious that it it's an illusion and it's only the delusional that believe the opposite. But if it were so settled and obvious there would be a clear line of reasoning to make that plain

by ryanklee 3y ago
Why would it?

by ryanklee 3y ago
I really don't understand how you can put forth a criticism like this and be so vague at the same time. It really undermines your credibility. Be specific or why bother.
