None of my relatives who were alive in 1969 have ever heard of the US moon landings. The information was totally suppressed at the time and in the intervening decades they simply h…

None of the things you listed mean much when it comes to ethno-nationalism. There are a lot of Chinese that love American brands but still hate the US for nationalist reasons. Amon…

It's heavy and the extra encumbrance is not great for general purpose computing, though I never felt the need for extra screen real estate while I'm coding, watching youtube, sendi…

This is kind of the visual equivalent of asking an LLM to count letters. The failure is more related to the tokenization scheme than the underlying quality of the model. I'm not ce…

Chess is a great example because it highlights the subtle difference between LLMs and agents. What GPT3.5 does is not quite playing chess but creating realistic chess moves that a …

I think a lot of the confusion on whether LLMs can think stems from the fact that LLMs are purely models of language and solve intelligence as a kind of accidental side-effect. The…

The thing is, it's not gibberish. A sufficiently small language model can be understood by humans: https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/1645115622517542913 The explanation is perfec…

I was writing an SVG editor web app but didn't know anything about the fabricjs api. Here's a portion of my prompts with chatgpt (april 2023 version, the date at the top is the sha…

In pixel space a convnet uses pixel-wise convolutions and a pixel-kernel. If you represent a vector image as a polygon, the direct equivalent to a convolution would be the Minkowsk…

I think this approach isn't ideal because you're representing pixels as 150x150 unique bins. With only 71k fonts it's likely a lot of these bins are never used, especially at the c…

> what will LLMs ever do for us? Hallucinations are an engineering problem and can be solved. Compute per dollar is still growing exponentially. Eventually this technology will be …

I didn't say they would be better. Most people on earth lack any access to healthcare at all. https://shorturl.at/joA23

A doctor for every person, a teacher for every child, available any time and for free.

As Yann Lecun said, “in high dimension, there is no such thing as interpolation. In high dimension, everything is extrapolation.” It’s trivial to come up with a prompt that doesn’t…

The foreign buyers tax, the empty home tax, and now the total ban on foreign buyers introduced this year has had zero effect on home prices. It's time to stop blaming foreigners. T…

oxycotton.com and oxyloo.com are taken unfortunately washluv.com is still available though

There are still some good 6 letter names out there, if you're willing to use a brandable (made-up) word. Some I randomly made just now: pletha.com encryx.com oxiply.com

double descent is a different phenomenon from grokking

Not seeing anything about the dataset, are they still using LAION? There's no mention of LAION in the paper and the results look quite different from 1.5 so I'm guessing no. > the …

I had a tough time with "Man eating shark" Why would a man eat a shark? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

This conflict only exists if you believe in a single, inviolable self. Which cell is the “real” one when it divides? Which branch of a tree is the true tree? Both versions of you h…

no it's definitely GPT4. I'm not sure why the share page says "Model: Default" but it's "Model: GPT-4" in my webui. Seems like a bug in the share feature

I tried to replicate a few of my chats (the displayed date is incorrect, it seems to be the publish date instead of the original chat date): svg editor: early april: https://chat.o…

Here's roughly how my conversation with GPT4 went Me: I want to make an svg editor, give me some suggestions. I mainly want something with mobile support. GPT4: gives me some optio…

Humans use language for communicating ideas, which is very different from language modeling. Here's some discussion on this topic: https://www.alignmentforum.org/posts/htrZrxduciZ5…
