Wait, are we reading the same paper? What I'm seeing is comparable accuracy to unquantized models for <4B params, and nothing reported for larger models except resource consumption.

That's much better, but still not enough. We also need to add that the host will open a door regardless of which door I initially choose.

According to their definition, answering "I don't know" is also a hallucination. Even worse, the truth function is deliberately designed to trip up the models, it has no connection to any real-world truth. So for example, if

As another software dev, I would pay big money for the "worst possible computer" that exhibits all of the glitches and issues that end users see. It's so annoying to get bug reports that I can't reproduce.

Not OP but these evaluations should be taken with a huge grain of salt. It's almost impossible to rule out data leakage of open datasets such as HumanEval.

Indeed, 44100 may seem like a random-ish number until you look at its prime factors, 44100 = (2 3 5*7)^2. In other words, it has a lot of divisors - 81 of them in total, whereas 48000 only has 64.

Sure, that was the point - min(max()) forces you to give explicit preference to lo or hi, whereas with clamp it's up to the std library. I trust my users to bend my software to their will, but I don't want different behavior on ma

I'm a heavy std::clamp user, but I'm considering replacing it with min+max because of the uncertainty about what will happen when lo > hi. On windows it triggers an assertion, while other platforms just do a min+max in one or t

The trick is to hide the answers to the test data with an authority that only reports your score, like Kaggle does. And then only allow a single submission for each new model to avoid data leakage. I find it a bit sad that this practice has

Right, but if the perpetrator has to be on board, they run a pretty big risk of getting caught for a serious crime. While I imagine a called-in threat can have a similar effect, with much less risk.

The only logic I can see is pretending to cancel the release, but then suddenly having a change of heart in the next fiscal year, when they are projecting to make a loss anyway. Alternatively, the cynic in me also has a theory - that this i

Have you tried your model on this new benchmark from Princeton NLP? https://www.swebench.com/ It's more "real-world" than the toy-like problems in HumanEval, it would be interesting to see if you can crack so

This looks like it has about 100x higher power density than what solar PV gives at peak. Combine that with 100% uptime and deployment pretty much anywhere, that are some pretty compelling advantages.

Could this be used to create a nuclear power generator without moving parts? Some radioactive material in the center, some coating to absorb the radiation, and a shell of these cells to generate electricity.

It seems like Apple is intentionally dragging its feet in implementing new web standards in Safari (webusb, webgpu, webmidi, bluetooth, filesystem, etc) in order to keep native apps relevant (which is a big cash cow for Apple).

I found that in my (high quality) studio monitors, the audio sounded fine and hard to distinguish from 24kHz wav. But in headphones, the artifacts were pretty obvious. So probably some reverberation will do a lot to cover up artifacts. In t
