Yeah honestly that would be pretty fun, to be honest. :)

Again, you've got to look at the mathematical foundations here. Shannon and frequentist statistics will help in particular. I'd encourage you to go back to the mathematical roots and take a good gander over it. I find it to be a v

I'm a practicioner with a number of years of experience in the field who has contributed meaningful research to it. I've also spent thousands of hours working with models like this. It's about basic mathematical principles, n

The primary poster with a high degree of likelihood means "an reasonable human task". Unless in the future we need models that make summarized briefs from hyperintelligent dogs that communicate only in a language embedded in the F

Another way of looking at karpierz's comment is through the incompressibility of pure noise at scale. As soon as some infinitely generated sort of noise is from some subset of possible noise, there is indeed (AFAIK) some kind of an ide

The most common statement I make is about the misapplication of the NFL. This is not an appropriate use of the NFL. The original commenter is asking about a general solution that will work well for all problems presented at it. The NFL deta

That's quite a pace, wowie! Usually I'd be tuckered afterwards with a 0 planning 20-25 kilometer...er hike. To be honest, the most enduro sport for me that I can do right now is kayaking, and I can do ~10 miles or so on flat water

This is a rather opinionated take, to be honest. For sure, there are dangers, but I find this to be a rather extreme view. Some drugs have a narrow dosing window. Some have a wider dosing window. Some have serious dangers associated with th

Please read the original Phase III and earlier studies where they thoroughly address these questions under the treatment modalities being tested. The process for drug approval is extremely rigorous for a reason, and does have some downsides

In extreme corner cases estrogen seems to keep it from happening.

I love the concept, I think we're waiting for that tidal shift now. Hopefully something big enough happens so that people move en masse, otherwise I fear a slow slide into worsening and worsening conditions on Twitter. :'(

The models seem to have been changing in the background, though as another commenter pointed out.... having a variance-calibrayion baseline for humans would be great too. :'))))

Not dumber. More biased. Important distinction, especially if we're looking to push back out towards the Pareto Frontier of the problem. RLHF is still very much in its infancy and does not maximize the bias-variance tradeoff by a long

There are more than 3! N acetyl cysteine is a supplement that does.... A lot! But it's also a glutamate mop. And what does it turn into after it combines with that glutamate? Good question! Glutathione. Amazing. There's a lot more

Could you define what averaging and mode projection are to you in this context? I think I can guess but am not entirely sure if I am understanding where you're coming from well enough. The above responses here are not too surprising to

Thank you, this is a good compressed and less-salty response. I appreciate your contribution to the conversation and will use aspects of it when trying to explain the matter in the future. <3 :thumbsup:

The blurry jpeg/average argument and related. It doesn't even match the basic math of the loss function, and implies a static snapshot instead of a decomposed, dynamic system that uses disentangled components to form a solution (w

The fuzzy jpeg analogy and related kin ignore the internal disentanglement of ideas, which is what separates LLMs from, say, a probabilistic chain producer. I.e. one can think of it as a NERF of an underlying manifold instead of just assemb

I find this to be a better explanation than "it's just regurgitating strings of text" No, it is clearly not, and that is a very easily testable hypothesis. Thank you for sharing.

I've seen this take a lot, and I find it frustrating as it flies in the face of the information theory underpinning how large neural networks learn information. This is more than just a fancy zip file of Markov sequences. Someone has g

I've heard a number of people say (from earlier) that the quantization and default sampling parameters is way wacked. Honestly even running that model size alone is the big achievement here and getting the accuracy to actually reach th

1 bit will mathematically be guaranteed to be more efficient for performance-per-parameter so to me it is a pretty clear eventuality one day, but I think also the relative performance % will likely tank still. Impressed honestly that it hel

Er... Aspartame is a NMDA receptor antagonist, but at a site where it actually increases NMDA activity. I get super panicky and jittery/feel like my nerves are physically overloaded with Aspartame. My mom would call her reactions &quot

Good thing I horribly react to that for about 3 days! The panic attacks are not worth it. Or the gluteomorphins for that matter lol, but that's more brain fog/wanting to break out of the sloggy body/state of mind it gives me.

Agreed, the wealth disparity gap in this country is disheartening. I have a similar story and felt so much shame at first in drawing from my savings to do so -- especially with some visits to third world countries and some of the harder par

Honestly, I think sentience is a sliding scale that everything is on, even if micro microscopically. I think it depends upon personal spiritual beliefs and philosophy. To me, this would be more sentient than previous models by a fair margin
