    Right now I start my prompts to chatgpt-4 with "dont be lazy". For every question I have it answers that it is a complex problem... GPT-3.5 in the API is more consistent that chatg…

    I'm pretty surprised more people dont use logit biases to call openai with. Checking if something is either a or b means that the tokens for those letters must be 100 weight which …

    You can build procedures for fact checking quite easily. It is like asking gpt to write code and tests.

    Except Paul McCartney is considered as one of the best song writers of all time. There may be many musicians who can do the same on a technical level but even then he is a signific…

    It is expensive but even then Youtube has been profitable for many years now. It represents 10% of Google revenue. 5-10 ads is a cash grab imho.

    Not sure if it is more relevant when you immediately hear about increased radiation from the power plant.

    You realize that Scikit-learn is written mostly in Cython (where high performance is needed)? It is a part of the most influential ML library in existence.

    If you believe Rust zero cost abstraction - being safe doesn't mean it has to be compared to safe languages because Rust and C can translate into same assembler code. But in Rust t…

    Yes you are right it is not a very good UX. For me the most interesting part is observing the evaluations of the position from the perspective of 2 engines. See the charts that tra…
