The last MD-11 crash with deaths was in 2009 and the last DC-10 kerfuffle was when their unapproved replacement parts fell on the runway and killed the Concorde. I wonder if flight 232 gave them a bad name - everybody seems to know that acc

Awesome idea, for some reason I've never thought about using MVC patterns with LLM prompts. I got carried away and tried implementing this with ASP.NET Razor components, imagining the possibilities with this pattern.

Bookworms are such a curious people, I love reading their pop-evo-psych-theory-of-everything articles and counting up all the occult references and hidden meanings. Waiting for a deep yellow sunset with royal blue skies to appear some day w

Hmm - preservers, creators, and destroyers doing their jobs. Is this not what a healthy, functional society looks like, at least in any philosophy grounded in (albeit painful) reality? Or would you rather the preservers stop doing their job

The book Hatred, Emptiness, and Hope by Otto Kernberg (a key Object Relational scholar) goes over all the latest advancements. Some people also are talking about Cloninger's phylogenetic origins of human consciousness and connecting it

I've yet to find a reputable, established psychology scholar that actually believes psychology is a serous science. The drug pushers, actuaries, and politics/industry folk do enjoy funding their pseudoscience and appointing their

The problem with this philosophy is that we have brain scan studies, phylogenetic, developmental, neuroscience, and thousands of pages from established experts on psychology that document these three systems of learning and memory. Who give

Emergency responders have to deal with what I'd imagine the typical person would consider traumatic but we've agreed that their jobs are necessary in order for society to be efficacious. Not everyone has the same physiological res

I wouldn't necessarily consider 'always loved' a precondition to health. In some psychological literature, a necessary requirement to raise a mentally healthy adult is having a 'frustrating' mother who forces her ch

A significant portion of people committing suicides (no one knows how much %) are likely to be clinical or subclinical Borderlines. This population isn't shy because they critically rely on others in order to regulate their emotions fo

A strange proposition considering this is the current state of affairs for the current generation below age 25 - casual sex and uncommitted relationships (Lisa Wade). 60% of this population cheat habitually. Dating is down 60%. First-time m

They discovered that the population is quite diverse but that means everyone has a role in society, and that society couldn't possibly function without the psychological and physical diversity of our species.

I've been following the state of affairs ever since the very first GWAS on humans was published not too long ago. The studies were a little shocking at first, but really it's more surprising to me how much neurotic anxiety people

I'm still surprised by their generous free tier, I have a database of 300k embeddings on Pinecone and it's only 10% full by their metrics. Now, I'm only averaging a request every other minute with 90ms per query, but it woul

At a previous SaaS startup I worked for, we stored a bunch of clients' documents somewhere on e.g. example.com/documents - which included confidential items like checks and contracts. Customers would typically opt-out of requiring

I use a custom babbage model fined tuned using the original whisper transcripts as the prompt and the fixed transcript as the result. It does a very good job at correcting common jargon and names, correcting something like 1/3 to 1&#x

They've been developing this on-the-fly since it gained popularity (and profitability). Basically, they ran fast and broke things, like any good startup. I'm nearly 100% certain that the scripts are generated through prompt engine

Sweet! Do you have any links to resources on how to speed it up? I couldn't find any while searching Google or the Whisper discussion forums.

Have you tried the --initial_prompt CLI arg? For my use, I put a bunch of industry jargon and names that are commonly misspelled in there and that fixes 1/3 to 1/2 of the errors. I was initially going to use Azure Cognitive Servic
