Not sure if this is still up to date (2023), but https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.03172 shows that performance degrades mostly in the middle of the context. Anecdotally I've been stuck in that situation of being at 400-

Agree that the study design is flawed. Going with the possibly-hallucinated AI answer is rational as long as you know the hallucination rate isn't 100% (or whatever % you get after factoring in the monetary rewards they introduced late

The top marginal tax rate in the US was 90% for most of the post WWII 20th century and that didn’t seem to hurt anyone. Invented transistors, went to the moon, built interstate highway system, mass construction of nuclear power, and became

WhatsApp and Messenger have billions of users but don’t make much ad revenue. I’m sure there exists a way to show ads in ChatGPT that will be figured out eventually but so far nobody’s figured out how to monetize chat as a medium Also it’s

Dell has a few. I have the U2723QE. It reliably wakes up my Windows desktop but waking up my Macbook is a crapshoot. I'm pretty sure the issue is in Apple's software, not the docks.

This is much harder than it sounds. Most techniques I’ve seen end up using separate agents to do the planning, implementation, and judging. The elaborate workarounds you have to build to help an agent which fundamentally doesn’t know what i

Yeah, the neoclouds and hyperscalers are taking massive losses right now, self hosting is basically signing yourself up to do the same. There are philosophical reasons to do so but it’s a terrible economic decision

But those proofs are showing that the fundamental axioms (which are generally simple and elegant) are still enough to build a complex result. I think of elegance as not having to add epicycles, not that everything in the system has to be si
