It is unethical to me to provide an accessibility tool that lies.

I think the criticisms are too often dismissed as moving the goalposts or ignorant of potential, but short of recreating the active open bugs in Java, you've created a different thing whose differences have to be managed and it is uncl

I'm trying to figure out if someone is arguing that this proves the Nazis were socialists that this is published on Substack?

Yes, for-profit services often cost more and deliver less than non-profit or at-loss public services which make more sense for commodity services especially those needed to survive like healthcare or infrastructure.

This is a really good analogy because the complex intersections between multiple groups independently working and trying to collaborate together into a collaborative hierarchy towards one large goal was one of the things that hid a lot of t

I am immensely sorry to hear your experience. What is lacking? I totally believe you that this is the case, I'm sorry.

FOA requests are a part of the total cost of ownership of these products. At some point a vendor, the state, a consultancy was negligent in this fact, and we should not entertain ideas of minimizing the issues I agree. Cities is the correct

I always have to ask with OCR in a professional context is which digits of the numbers is it allowed to get wrong?

This seems to imply that the capabilities being tested are like the descriptive words used in the prompts, but, as a category using random words would be just as valid for exercising the extents of the underlying math. And when I think of t

Thank you for posting this. I'm struck with how there is a lot of studying of the behavior and isolating it from other assumptions and then these individual capabilities are then described as a new solution or discovered capability tha

I spent a decade optimizing Python data science projects for a Fortune 100. I agree with the other sentiments that you can't really optimize Python itself because of these weird behaviors that seem to change the more you look at them..

I don't think there's any mechanism inside of language models to accurately weigh this kind of nuance. I mean you would think that it would work like that but I don't see how it could or would in practice. The quantity of wor

Which part of this substantiates that description?

Do you have a source for those allegations about their funding?

So then is that leftist to point out the fact that it shouldn't be surprising or just an accurate description of party members as a whole?

I think about facets of this a lot. The conservative ideals of thinking only in zero-sum characterizations of political problems, that someone must go without in order for someone to gain, or that a conservative ideal is to be led by some a

A lot facts that people deem liberal or leftist or something are simply statistically consistent with the world literature as a whole and problematic for conservative ideals.

All of these techniques just push the problems around so far. And anything short of 100% accurate is a 100% failure in any single problematic instance.

This is something that uv advocates should pay attention to, there are always contexts that need different assumptions, especially with our every growing and complex pile of libraries and systems.

Right, but my point is is that even if you turn the temperature all the way down, you're not guaranteed to get an accurate or truthful result even though you may get a mostly repeatable deterministic result, and there is still some i

Ahh okay, so you really can't escape the indeterminacy?

Not to be flippant but this takes a couple of hours to essentially make the point that the complexities of the world resist summarization or at least the opportunistic summarization that can be used to sway the inattentive public (among oth

That's one of Chomsky's major points for decades.

> Turn down the temperature and top_p if you don't want the creativity. This also reduces accuracy in real terms. The randomness is used to jump out of local minima.

You simply can't get the software or support for a lot of smaller solutions. It can be sometimes easier to do the seemingly more difficult thing, and sometimes because all the money goes to those more difficult seeming technical proble

Truly a wonderful revelation I had to stop reading the time table and see that it says every 15 minutes or so a bus will come during the times I'd expect it to, worst case 45, etc.

I'm sorry but a lot of people claim that. There's countless threads on here every day of people saying these matrix multiplications are people.

What an amazingly patronizing comment, Simon.
