While I have some experience, I'm afraid I am learning mostly through a) trial and error, and b) using an llm chat interface to double check my thinking. This being said, here are …

Looking at the linked scoring prompt (resume_evaluation_criteria.jinja) [0], I immediately see several red flags that suggest the output won't be reliable. (I'm developing an LLM i…

Hmm. Maybe they are concerned about state actors trying to train equivalent models without the safeguards?

I'd like to offer a counter-point to many of the comments here. While I understand being stymied and frustrated by a product one is paying for... At the same time, I personally thi…

How do you go about trying to mitigate LLM sycophancy? I think it'd be useful for us to learn from each other what custom instructions we are providing. There was an HN post yester…

Reactions to this are a bit curious. It's a satirical comment on how (presumably) initially well-intentioned younger founder-types get swept up in / by perverse incentives. The imp…

It's seemingly quasi-semi-related to The Foundation's 'atomic knives'?

Maybe I'm just a sci-fi nerd who loves innovation, but this is so cool! Clearly, this product is not intended for the mass market, and may find purchase with people who have tennis…

Can you explain what you mean about 'not needing to be solved'? There are versions of that kind of critique that would seem, at least on the surface, to better apply to finance or …

Side note: The organization that maintains Lean is a "Focused Research Organization", which is a new model for running a science/discovery based nonprofit. This might be useful kno…

Some days I joke that there should be a set of Nobel prizes for making machines quieter. Categories could include: air-conditioning units and mini-fridges, construction and landsca…

Ah, interesting. So what (I think) you are saying is that if there is enough of the right type of philanthropic, in-kind donation more people will be able to donate in the future. …

From what I can understand, instead of funding various causes via "matching donations" QF is proposal for a funding body to do something like 'match in proportion to a blend of the…
