It is possible, but it requires specifically labelling the data. You have to craft question response pairs to label. But even then the result is only probabilistic. The LLM in this case had been very thoroughly trained and instructed quite

That's a different statement, yes brains and LLMs are both neural networks. An LLM is a specific neural architectural structure and training process. Brains are also neural networks, but they are otherwise nothing at all like LLMs and

It's not at all a language model in the way that LLMs are. At this point we might as well just say that both process information, that's about the level of similarity they have except for the implementation detail of neurons. Lang

Exactly. It’s just giving the LLM a token pattern, and it’s designed to reproduce token patterns. That’s all it does. At some point generating a token pattern like that again is literally it’s job.

Why is this getting downvoted? This is exactly what’s going on here. The LLM has no idea why it did what it did. All it has to go on is the content of the session so far. It doesn’t ‘know’ any more than you do. It has no memory of doing any

They’re both neural networks, but the architectures built using those neural connections, and the way they are trained and operate are completely different. There are many different artificial neural network architectures. They’re not all L

My point is precisely that the US system is substantially a copy of European stuff. It had some significant innovations for it's time of course, but it's really showing it's age. Meanwhile Parliamentary systems have significa

I don't think it's plausible, but an authoritarian president invoking emergency powers and deploying military and paramilitary forces to exert control on the streets is, on the basis it's already going on at a limited scale.

Did you see the bit in there about 'any economic system'. It's right there in the text you quoted.

by simonh 6mo ago
Many of the countries suffering the most from this in Asia lean heavily socialist, and modern Europe is hardly a bastion of neolibralism. No economic system is immune to something like a severe energy supply shock. Almost all the criticisms

Nobody "uses" rack mount servers as artefacts, the way people use other Apple hardware products. Not in the same sense, so I don't think Apple can really bring much of the kind of value they usually do. In practice Apple data

Or Scotland Yard for the metropolitan police in london. They were commonly known by that name almost immediately after their founding in 1829. Perhaps the earliest example is Pharaoh. It originally referred to the royal residence.

I don’t see why Xi should care about the fabs, we’re more reliant on them than he is. I think his goals are more political and historic. I don’t think and invasion of Taiwan would work, especially with a committed and competent administrati

They're preparing for an invasion of Taiwan, and if they do that the US will cut off their oil supply, so they need the reserves. They're betting they can take Taiwan fast enough that they can present a fait a complis, and negotia

Valerian was fun, but I really don't think it held together. Great set piece scenes though.

I have two girls myself. I’d want to know exactly what happened and why, and to hold whoever made this deplorable mistake accountable. So I’d want to know this. Wouldn’t you? I think the AI targeting aspect of this is very disturbing.

I’m probably stretching what you said beyond what you meant, but while also deploring that regime I don’t support any attempt. I support effective action. This war was not effective action. I think it was utterly counterproductive.

Wasn't killing his father a good start? If it wasn't, why would killing him make a significant difference? I'd love to see a democratic Iran, but this was was utterly pointless and counterproductive.

It is possible to deplore the human cost, while also looking at the reasons why such conflicts occur, and what the goals of those involved are.

While since Trump dropped that deal, Iran had enriched around 440kg to 60%. Nobody knows for sure where any of that is.

Yeah, the amount of magical thinking about this conflict in the USA is disturbing. Iran is dry, but it's not just desert. The military will have backup generators and priority access to any generator infrastructure or repair capability
