Shouldn't be down voted for saying this. There are active repo's this is happening in. "BuT ThE LlM iS pRoBaBlY iNtRoDuCiNg MoRe BuGs ThAn It FiXeS" This is an absurd take.

There's a lot more "telling" than "showing" going on. By that I mean - the people claiming hyper-productivity from their GasTown setup never have actual products to demo.

Really? How would you NVLink more than 2 3090's?

I think it's bad form to say "citation needed" when your original claim didn't include citations. Regardless - there's a difference between training and inference. And pytorch doesn't magically make 5 gpus beha

I don't see how 5x 3090's is a better option than an M3 Ultra Mac studio. The mac will just work for models as large as 100B, can go higher with quantized models. And power draw will be 1/5th as much as the 3090 setup. You ca

For a country that prides itself on CapItAlIsM, U.S. healthcare is the farthest thing from it. - Doctors and hospitals don't compete on price - Prices aren't just opaque, they are unknowable - Shopping around is not possible - Ins

I was not conflating the two - I literally meant that there are incentives in place to encourage landlords to develop new homes. I am not referring to groups whose primary interest is to develop and sell - but to develop and own. I know a l

I think this is a cool tech demo. But the commonality I see in all of these "let the agent run free" harnesses is that the output is never something I would want to use/watch/play. I think minimizing the amount of human

Are you implying that landlords are naturally incentivized to build homes? Because in most circumstances, the exact opposite is true. In the U.S., the government has a number of programs that offer landlords vouchers in order to encourage t

Sundar was at the helm when the decision to worsen search results for the sake of ad revenue was made. Previously, the two concerns were "firewalled" so as to prevent the money-generating side of the company from eroding the user

I've always attributed it to people being very good at convincing themselves they aren't one of the bad guys. A big paycheck makes it even easier to ignore to what you are a part of. Where livelihood is concerned, rational individ

So how do you rectify your anecdotal experience against those made by public figures in the industry who we can all agree are at least pretty good engineers? I think that's important because if we want to stay ~anonymous, neither you n

When web search first arrived, the same thing happened. That is, some people didn't like using the tool because it wasn't finding what they wanted. This is still true for a lot of folks today, actually. It's less "git gu

I think Amazon is a better example. It's a thing that some companies prefer not to hire engineers from Amazon because of the culture they bring. Whether you agree with it or not, Amazon has a reputation for a toxic culture and that sor

It is funny how you can break diet/nutrition into generations like this. I think the trends are a reflection of poor education. Fiber/protein/whatever being important components of a diet isn't new information. But the i

I don't love talking politics on this site. Hackernews has done a pretty decent job of staying non-political and I think that's been a positive thing. AI is re-shaping American society in a lot of ways. And this is happening at a

Alright let's say I'm wrong about the details/nuances. That's still really not the point. The point is this: > we as end-users cannot with any certainty know if the model used python, or didn't These tools can an

I believe you're referring to the tools array? https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/tools/ This is external tools that you are allowing the model to have access to. There is a suite of inte

No, it wouldn't be enough to falsify. This isn't an experiment a consumer of the models can actually run. If you have a chance to read the article I linked, it is difficult even for the model maintainers (openai, anthropic, etc.)

I see that your prompt includes 'Do not use any tools. If you do, write "I USED A TOOL"' This is not a valid experiment, because GPT models always have access to certain tools and will use them even if you tell them not
