Fortunately you do not need to rely on polls for those two things, and can compare against actual measurements to reach your own conclusions :)

If you look at what makes it work well in the example, I would say it is being able to easily approximate a function with whatever degree of precision that you want, which translates to being able to isolate spikes in the approximation. For

Nice article, although I find it's a bit overly complex if your are not familiar with ML and mathematics at the same time. I will leave here a geometrical intuition of why they work in case it can help someone: To simplify things, I wi

But does a different prompt get the answer correct? I find it surprising. Can you share a link? I'm not saying this out of saltiness, I would be very grateful. If you don't want to I will try the shitty Google search, no problem.

Does OpenAI's revenue per user increase with each new user? I don't think so, but it was definitely the case with Google and Facebook . That's a big difference that you can not overlook

Is it really a tested conclusion? Or a plausible conclusion to try to hide the limitations of the model architecture? I'm asking because I know that with some prompts it gets the answer correct, and in those cases nothing in the tokeni

Yes! I agree with you, mathematics is not a natural science. You can study the physical reality or the intellectual reality, mathematics would be closer to the intellectual reality. I guess this points back to the eternal debate about if ma

This is how I see it: you can work on mathematics from two different levels. There is more direct level, which is the formal system, and there is more indirect level which are the intuitions behind the formal system. If you look at new theo

Nice work! Just one quick question (maybe it's clear but I have not looked at it in depth). It says it computes the derivative for non-uniformly sampled time series data and the example image shows this. Is this also well behaved if th

I don't think we are being dismissive, it's just that a mathematical theory is more convincing than a philosophical one in terms of what can and cannot be achieved with data.
