There was a moment in time when Apple had solved this with 3D touch. It was surgical precautions. But no, 3D touch was nixed and its replacement for text editing is just insanely bad, like makes no sense at all and I can’t even predict it.

How do you know that isn’t emergent given enough embodied experience of the world? This is the big thing with LLMs for me, showing that yes, if you scale up, all sorts of emergent abilities pop up. And LLMs aren’t even embodied, it’s still

In theory yes, in practice, the market produces ugly effects all the time. Child labor, for example. But I suppose you vote with your wallet or something.

I guess we prioritize different things. I get annoyed with local intelligent autocompleters for being variable in both what they find and when they find it. I can’t imagine adding a network connection to that equation will improve anything.

What of Git plugins, linters, make programs? The environment is on the host, not your laptop or whatever. There is no way around that.

The point for me personally is the same as why I find it so powerful to self host SMTP, IMAP, HTTP. It’s in my hands, I know where it all begins and ends. I answer to no one. For LLMs this means I am allowed their full potential. I can gene

With this level of adversarial problems, you'd better formulate your whole IO stack as a two-player minimax game.

I agree that's what TR's are for. However, my point is, if you want to publish academic writing without peer review, a TR is a way to go about that. You can also just publish a preprint somewhere, which - surprise surprise - is al

Yeah, this is a holdover from where LLMs grew out of: academia. "Technical report" is what you reach for when you don't want to compare to actual competitive baselines.

I am, yes. Most of our field’s research is publicly available on arxiv by the way.

This text was your classic “I’m writing a tutorial to see how much I know”, being only intelligible to the exact set of people who already know what it’s about. A lot of important ideas glossed over, eg “we don’t know log pt” then immedia

This is not a synecdoche, it is at best anthropomorphizing.

Where do you empty your trash can? Let’s say you throw away something sticky, maybe a dirty diaper, or something else. You don’t want to get that stuff on your own trash can, and the garbage collectors don’t want to deal with soiled garbage

We are not allowed to throw trash without bags for obvious reasons. I'm not sure I understand what you even mean by that.

Hear hear. And even then, plastic grocery bags are part of a beautiful, closed system of becoming trash bags. Now I have to go to the store, buy a literal roll of plastic bags, and carry it home in a non-plastic bag, then throw my garbage i

I think this is on point, and also: an ordinary person is extreme, ie, there will be parameters outside the normal interval. This is because there are so many dimensions of personality, and the higher the number of dimensions, the more surf

The author pasted commands using Unicode quotes “” so the echo output includes them, and a trailing colon from the article text itself. I get the feeling that this person doesn’t actually know how to use the command line, so why are they wr

The problem is that once the apple turns sour, and it will, you’ll turn around to see that all the fruit is spoiled. Some moldy, some maggot-ridden, but none made for you.

To expand on this, one of the most common tricks is Nucleus sampling. Roughly, you zero out the lowest probabilities such that the remaining sum to just above some threshold you decide (often around 80%). The idea is that this is more gener

I thought it implied that Plato meant philosophers more truly see the things as they are and not their shadows, and that to me sounds a bit fancy.

I agree, you could solve this with modeling choices. Problem is, OpenAI spent $$$ on GPT which does not, and then more $$$ on InstructGPT’s datasets. So that’s a lot of $$$$$$. I’m actually not sure you’ll get clear of every “sandbox violat
