I love the Monty Hall problem because it's so unintuitive that even Paul Erdos struggled to believe it for a while. > Vazsonyi ran the program 100,000 times. Erdos watched the results of the simulation. The simulation results indica

One finding in the LLaMA paper [1] is that our current large models are undertrained. LLaMA with 13B params outperforms GPT-3 175B (not ChatGPT), but an "instruct" version of LLaMA was finetuned over the 65B model and did quite we

Additionally, in comparison to drip with a filter, the reduced extraction time makes a difference as well.

Around 15 seconds. This is on the low end of extraction time, official instructions say between 10-30 seconds, although it's really to your preference, and some people prefer a minute or longer. With drip coffee or french press, you&#x
