"Forgiveness is a personal choice" This is the core of the matter, and even more: feeling "anger and resentment towards someone who wronged you" in the first place, is a personal choice too. To put it another way, th

I find it hard to quantify wrong in this context. Maybe wrong / right are endpoints of a sliding scale of accuracy, and maybe certain quantities on that scale become qualitative in my perception .

Here we have a theory which turned out to be fundamentally wrong while having predictive power. Maybe every physical theory is just a model approximating something that can at any time be replaced by by a better model that is still just tha

Depends on how you measure wrong, I don't think that Newtonian vs. Special Relativity Physics is the same amount of wrong as geocentric vs. heliocentric

A neat example of how the predictive power of a theory does not guarantee its correctness. Even if the theory and its predictions were incremental refined and improved over time.

I appreciate that the post is about integration with Gemma and not about it's quality but it is possible that the specific interaction was cherry picked for correctness. My cherry: > calculate -20 + 111 -91 > The answer is 91. &g

You are ok with not defining what each of your attributes means but willing to accept that: the LLM will read your mind and correctly interpret them in the context of its internal state the LLM will calculate non hallucinated values

You are probably thinking about UNRWA: UNRWA's budget is set by the UN General Assembly and derives almost entirely from voluntary contributions by UN member states. with US being the biggest contributor.

Out of curiosity I had Stable Diffusion XL generate ten images off the prompt "picture of a nurse". All ten were female, eight of them Caucasian. Is your concern about the percentage - if not 80%, what should it be? Is your concer

Perhaps your analogy reveals more then you intended. What does it tell you about the new technology if the best vehicle to demonstrate it is TikTok?

Well ok, Groq provides lower latency cheaper access to the same models of questionable quality. Is this not putting lipstick on a pig scenario? I suppose more of a question to pig buyers.

A bit of a softball don't you think? The initial message suggests "Are you ready to experience the world's fastest Large Language Model (LLM)? We'd suggest asking about a piece of history" So I did.

Not clear if it is due to Groq or to Mixtral, but confident hallucinations are there.

True, Winters indeed said that but the interesting question is why would the Army have such a policy in the first place (I assume that here as in other things BoB sticks to the realities of the time).

The word bias has a negative connotation so perhaps you mean something else. Given two EMs, one that came organically from a team and another that came "from the outside" and spent a few months working with a team - what advantage

Neither have I but it is an interesting point to consider - to what extent is the EMs thinking biased by their previous experience of the team as an engineer.

companies are wary of bringing in an EM for a team (prefer to promote within the ranks, in my experience) In Band of Brothers TV series there is a plot line where an NCO is promoted to be an officer. Soon after he is moved to a different
