People forgot, but Google had their own internal version of ChatGPT before OpenAI. But they never even intended to launch it. If OpenAI hadn't just thrown the technology out there for everyone to see, Google would probably still be sit

The chances are actually often way better than 1/4. For the words I didn't know, I was almost always able to exclude one or two options. Sometimes even three, finding the solution by exclusion.

Does the Swiss rail not receive public funding? It seems to me that undercharging would only necessitate more public funding, not some fundamental change where taxpayers suddenly have to pay for something they didn't before.

You should note that while a single use (like to kill mould) may be fine, regular use on stone, metal or wood (i.e. most stuff in a bathroom) is not recommended because it is a powerful oxidizer that will considerably damage these surfaces

Being able to skim, filter and comprehend large amounts of text is much more rare than you might think. More than half of Americans read below sixth grade level and a fifth is functionally illiterate, struggling even with the most basic rea

Well, the people who bought the SpaceX IPO essentially footed the entire bill here. And they might still make money on it, depending on how the stock goes from here on. I don't see anyone who could lose here, even if the bubble bursts,

Interesting how well a panel of Fable 5 + GPT 5.5 beats the frontier of either one, but if you add Gemini into the mix the panel of three performs worse, not better. To me that sounds like Gemini is worse at the given tasks but better at co

Yeah, for law I imagine these "nice" beginnings were 2000 years ago at best. If they even existed at all. But all these jobs where talking to other humans is paramount will be dominated by extroverted quacks by default. Same goes

I worked in this field since long before LLMs. Nobody outside of the field really cared about GPT2, and even insiders knew the "too dangerous" part was a PR gag at best and the first dig of the moat at worst. After all, they relea

Gemma is amazing with tools for anything that is not crazy complex. I think a lot of people have a wrong perception of it because Google's new prompt format broke implementations like llama.cpp and it took quite a while to get everythi

I think the PR from an agent sounds legit, but the whole part once the alleged operator joins in sounds fishy. Wouldn't be surprised if someone saw the PR comments and used the username mentioned by the agent to troll around in the cha

Out of scope does not necessarily mean out of impact. It is merely a question of how far a company wants to be responsible for the environment their software is run in. Most of the time that answer is "not much."

That is false. Check the USDA source linked above. Rotenone is prohibited according to §205.602.

300mg/kg is still 6 times higher than for Paraquat. So you only confirmed what was said above.

The USDA only permits very specific and highly restricted pest control substances to be used under the "organic" label [1]. So yes, they may still use pesticides, but they are miles away from the usual pesticides used in conventio

Containers only got so popular as a tool for developers to make developing/deploying easier. If you want to use them as a security layer that is a completely different goal and has many highly dangerous pitfalls [1]. Just last week the

You didn't even know what the topic of the conversation is! And you just keep digging yourself in instead of admitting you were wrong. But everything you say makes you look more desperate.

Reasoning is a little bit more than just "baked in" chain of thought prompting. The important takeaway here was that it is not realized at the architecture level of the neural network. And you could say that all these things regar

I think "prompt injection prevention" systems fall into the same category as "llm writing detection" systems. I.e. reality is always a step ahead and you shouldn't trust either one for anything remotely important.

"Attention is all you need" is actually a bad paper if you want to learn about autoregressive LLMs specifically, because it describes a more complicated encoder-decoder architecture while modern LLMs are decoder only. So it's

Imaginary numbers are a helpful tool for calculating things in our universe. All these holographic theories and their insights are based on a universe that behaves basically opposite to ours.

Unfortunately that is not how it works in capitalist societies, because the smart people will eventually figure out how to siphon the maximum amount of money out of the government regardless of the results. Or do you think we should also ke
