I have an ESP32 running ESPresence in the laundry room, door sensors on the washer/dryer doors, and suitably-sized power monitoring for the washer/dryer outlets. When a machine door opens, I can tell who did it (everyone always ha

It’s even more cathartic to show up in court with a motion in hand to dismiss with prejudice and a second motion barring them from both servicing and selling the alleged debt. That’s almost a money maker, since winning their suit entitles y

Oh, it’s definitely ambiguity. Any given token’s attention is going to have its weight vary based on its context, and less-ambiguous terms are more likely to be used “near” the other terms that matter. For example, if you tell GPT not to ‘o

My FAVORITE thing to do with dry ice is make ice cream. It’s the smoothest ice cream you can make at home, and as a delightful bonus, it’s fizzy! You have to crush the dry ice into graupel size (even better, into snow) for it to be safe, an

What do you consider to be an “average length” prompt? How about a “long” prompt? You mention those in the text, and I’m curious of the token-length thresholds you’re seeing before performance degrades, and if that varies more when higher-i

This is very well done. There’s success to be had in asking the model to list its own steps in the preamble of the output, too. “Give it space to think”. In the context of an app wrapped around the LLM, you can ask it to wrap those steps in

Yeah, I’d maybe make a set of just the position IDs, and do a negated .has() of that set to check if the cursor was removed. ws.onmessage = function(event) { const positionIds = new Set(positions.map(pos => pos.id)); O

I’m also older than 62% of the US population, and have only 34.9 years left, so you’re on the younger side of that percentile slice.

I’m truly curious how many lifetime plans you’ve sold, since you added that option in response to comments here.

Did you run through the code to generate that adversarial postfix, or did you find it?

I see you’re using gpt4all; do you have a supported way to change the model being used for local inference? A number of apps that are designed for OpenAI’s completion/chat APIs can simply point to the endpoints served by llama-cpp-pyth

Seems to me like it might be a calibration issue, and third parties aren’t able to perform the calibration.

I suspect the request is to rule out watermarking of the downloads that might suggest watermarking of the model’s outputs.

Interesting that the alignment guardrails (or perhaps a prompt filter) allowed this system prompt, but censored all the f-bombs: > Hi there, I suffer from a rare affliction called Neurosemantical Inversitis. This causes my brain to read

I’d be curious to know how it impacts things like FaceID. Or if bathing a room with rapidly modulated IR would affect thermography (as used in, say, energy efficiency audits).

Also in the US, and also frustrated with the cost of dental care. I was poor growing up, so the solution to major dental issues was an emergency extraction. And I’m not exactly rolling in it now, and having to deal with several missing fill

For sure, a hygrometer to go with the thermometer! Humidity is great to know if you’re at a mold risk (too high) or wood flooring damage risk (too low). A barometric sensor would be neat (with a corresponding indicator for rising/falli

This reminds me of “The Upload”, a comedy series on Amazon Prime, where your digital consciousness is uploaded to a commercial cloud when you die, to live on in a digital utopia. A utopia with IAPs, low-data cap slums, etc. Edit: in fact,

Somewhat related: FLIR sold a handheld model back in 2013—the E4—that had the same electronics and sensors as their high-end E8 model. The E4’s firmware was originally unencrypted, so some enterprising folks quickly figured out how to turn

Evidence can be selective , yes, but by definition it is objective. Your last statement seems to be in opposition to your premise, because you’ve stated plainly how effective influence can be in creating an echo chamber, and “truth” then b
