"We won’t use this data to train new Claude models" What about non-Claude models?

There is a whole history with this, and i think its not appropriate or fair to malign the mcp python-sdk. My read of what happened is that the author spiked an an initial the imple…

Didn’t anthropic show that the models engage in a form of planning such that it is predicting a possible future subsequent tokens that then affects prediction of the next token: ht…

Another variation on this is to think about tokens and definitions. Numbers don’t have inherent meaning for your use case, so if you use numbers you need to provide an explicit def…

This is a hit piece. It is cherry picking information that is in the public domain, and then drawing spurious conclusions by purposefully excluding or dismissing other publicly ava…

Folding, sorting, and putting away clothes is a time consuming daily task in a house with young kids, that cant be done by any robot that isn’t humanoid. Clearing the table, scrapi…

the worse case scenario is if the eye makes landfall north of Tampa, as the counter clockwise rotation pushes more water in front of the front right quadrant. Tampa could be spared…

Latent Space AI Engineering podcast does this with an AI cohost; mostly for intros and segues. A recent episode used it to summarise a Twitter AMA and while it’s usually used to go…

This sentence sums up so much of the technology around large transformer based models.

These uninformed, reductionist writings are tedious and have the undertones of conspiratorial thinking that places the author as “the only person who sees the truth“. There are so …

I think you’re confusing the technology with a product developed using that technology. The prevalence of poorly implemented products or the lack of fit of some products to a parti…

Claude 3.5 to the rescue: “Wibbels claims that developing countries are at a disadvantage in the global economy for two main reasons: 1. They rely heavily on foreign investment. 2.…

“Lastly, OpenAI will become a Reddit advertising partner” I wonder what this means? Will OpenAI be investing research and engineering into creating models that are optimised to cre…

Nice work and congratulations on the launch! It’s awesome when a project works as expected/assumed. I immediately started using it to build my packing list for my upcoming weekend …

Generating revenue through the creation of value via innovation is great; using dark ux patterns to extract revenue from a captive user base, not so much. I think in cases like pos…

Maybe, but it expanded on the idea in the vague comment and together introduced me to the idea of embedding each sentence and then clustering the sentences, then taking the centroi…

Thanks for your message. I should say that giving your comment to GPT-4, with a request for a solution architecture that could produce good results based on the comment, produced a…

if you have access to Gemini Pro 1.5 you could put the whole code base into the context and start asking questions about architecture, style, potential pain paints etc.

I know an individual who used to think like that; do you want to know why they changed their mind?

Neat tool, this looked like a perfect ChatGPT task; gave it a prompt to make it readable and less confusing, and then the original notice, and got this: NOTAM (Notice to Airmen): 3…
