GPT-4o being only 7 ELO above GPT-4o-mini suggests this is measuring something a lot different than "capabilities".

I'd rank Claude 3.5 overall better. GPT-4o seems to have on par to better vision models, typescript, and math abilities. llama is on meta.ai

Technically this is post training. This has been standard for a long time now - I think InstructGPT (gpt 3.5 base) was the last that used only human feedback (RLHF)

I think this is just due to better non-English training data. It's 15 ELO under Llama-3-70B on english hard prompts and 41 ELO under Llama-3-70B (the latter is actually stat sig) for general English.

Your second poll is from the UK. :) Interesting find on Gallup. My read is that the genders are broadly similar, but women have more variance/more nuanced opinions, presumably from thinking about this more. Yglesias has a good overview

Well, I regret buying XLK compared to other tech ETFs. Bad weighing and potentially high tax costs going forward. There's an artificial rule that a company can't be more than 4.5% of the index except the top 2. Nvidia was ahead of

Are these comparing the exact same route? Fwiw, my experience is same as OP. In Shanghai, it is far faster to take a Didi than public transit. It's typically a 20 minute door to door vs 40.

Climate risk is extremely unlikely to be existential this century. And the mean GDP hits are pretty low all things considered. 30% or so in 2100. AGI actually has a plausible case for existential risk and would result in a much greater GDP

Cleaning fees exist to charge a fixed fee for a reservation, regardless of the number of days. There's more overhead for a reservation beyond just "cleaning". The most consumer friendly thing would be for AirBnB to just expl

Interestingly, math olympiad problems (using ones I wrote myself years ago so outside training data) seem to be better in Claude 3. Almost everything else though I've tested seems better in GPT-4.

Nvidia is a hard to value stock though. The revenue growth, while insanely high (120% annualized quarter over quarter), is decelerating. But the net income levels are insane (55% net income margin on revenue). This suggests huge space for c

I think this somewhat is mostly due to the ability to handle high context lengths better. Note how Claude 2.1 already highly outperforms GPT-4 on this task.
