Up front, yes, but long term, I wholly disagree. A model that performs at 95% or higher will assuredly eliminate human work, no matter how many interns you enlist to label the data.

by z3c0 4y ago
I've always thought it was abundantly clear how to make smaller models perform as well as large models: keep labeling data and build a human-in-the-loop support process to keep it on track. My perspective is more pessimistic. I think p

No, it is not, and I'll go so far as to suggest that you actually know that but are choosing to misrepresent the perspective (aka a strawman fallacy). The value of a politician is very much measured by the nature of their rhetoric, and

As someone who studies propaganda (especially disinformation), I'm amazed that I've never encountered the term "Gish gallop" before. Having researched it now, I'd say you've described the phenomenon perfectly.

So your critique of nuclear energy (a position) is somebody who over-zealously evangelized the technology (their character)? This is about as ad hominem as stances come.

Both your points are valid (and highly common) talking points in the debate, but coal and petrol aren't exempt from these matters. 1) There is no handling of spent fuel. The atmosphere handles it. At least nuclear lets us capture and s

Since COVID, I've noticed a "quantity over quality" strategy deployed en massé by the pseudo-intellectual right. It allows one to give the impression of a well-researched response without doing any of the needed work. It&#x27

I do understand that - my point is that it repackaged my statement as its own, and did not denote its source in any way. If I were to paste only its response after feeding it something incorrect (eg 1069 instead of 69), it very much would a

I recently quizzed ChatGPT on a matter it had incomplete information on (The Colorado Coal Strike). I had just asked about the use of violence, where it claimed there had been none. Afterwards this exchange occurred (emphasis mine): z3c0:

I'm sure they've learned their lesson, thanks to your cutting insights.

Then may I ask why you're shoehorning it into the conversation in such an unsubstantial way? Seems more like a cheap jab than a worthwhile opinion.

I'm disappointed that there aren't more conversations about the merits of "distributed" vs "decentralized". Federated addresses really seem better suited for a distributed approach. Decentralization would encou

I agree, but the reality is that the most egregious offenders of consumer rights tend to control the markets they exist in, and the diligence required to effectively "vote with your dollar" is enough to overwhelm even the most sta

"putty-ass" isn't any less cringe-worthy. Depending on your chosen vernacular, it may even be more-so.

As a user of multiple layers of ad-blocking, I still don't understand why we can't hold people to the standard of not make shitty websites anymore.

Hopefully the lights mounted on every side of the car will combat that.

I'm in agreement. I'm amazed that they could come up with an entire blog posts worth of words depicting naught more than curmudgeonlyness towards a new trend. I thought maybe there was a really interesting reason behind the shift

It isn't single dimensional, it's two dimensional (liberal/conservative & authoritarian/libertarian). It may sound like I'm being a pedant, but it does make a world of difference. Many political idealogies can b

What you're describing is "culpability" and it most certainly does get considered separately from intent (mea culpa vs mens rea). Not knowing whether or not you were within the boundaries of the law is only an excuse when you

I'm not convinced that the writer didn't accidentally swing the results with that 50/50 Dem/Rep answer. In my experience, certain political groups are more likely to hop party boundaries than others, so presenting the pa

I generally look at aggressive ads as a detractor to the product. Money spent trying to bait me into making the purchase is money not spent on improving the product. I'll always pick the non-sponsored product with the highest (written)

I was more offended by the vicarious reference to something as brilliantly funny as the Holy Grail via something as terribly unfunny as Jeff Dunham.

You're conflating demands for capital with an artist's desire to create, and most artists would do the latter regardless of the former. In fact, you even said it yourself - artists who create for capital are forced to produce more

People have reported achieving identical experiences solely through meditation, though it takes much more work. Believe it or not, most people who toy with DMT are aware of what hallucinations are, and wouldn't conflate them with reali
