    Add a nice prior from a photograph, combine multiple measurements and presto you can pick out a person from a crowd with reasonable accuracy. No?

    I understand model output put back into training would be an issue, but if model output is guided by multiple prompts and edited by the author to his/her liking wouldn't that at le…

    You are ignoring the obvious difference between errors introduced while translating one near-formal-intent-clear language to another as opposed to ambiguous-natural-language to cod…

    This is pretty much how I use LLMs as well. These interactions have convinced me that while the LLMs are very convincing with persuasive arguments, they are wrong often on things I…

    I have nothing against automated code completion on steroids or agents. What I cannot condone is not reading and understanding the generated code. If you have not understood your a…

    I don't know about you, but when the creator of a software says I have not read any of the code, I don't want to install or use it. Call me old fashioned. Really hoping this terrif…

    Also, if you do not want to spend on any specialized fountain pen flush solution, diluted windex works very well. From the smell I am willing to bet that most fountain pen cleaning…

    Re-entry permit is granted for 2 years and the only requirement is that you apply for it while in country. Usual processing time nowadays is around a year so in effect you need to …

    Oh great.. This looks exactly like some PhD advisors I've heard of. Creating a list of "ideas" and having their lab monkey PhD students work on it. Surefire way to kill joy of disc…

    May be I am an aberration, but I actually seek out coffee shops for good coffee. A nice espresso, cappuccino and on occasion black drip or pour over. I will never be as comfortable…

    I don't think this is a hypothetical use case, at least for me. I like writing on paper with a fountain pen. But would like a digital version of the notes that are searchable. Reas…

    Check out textify on appstore. I have found the accuracy to be great even for my terrible hand written text.

    I am sure you are already doing this and the "what their pain point is" phrasing of this post is only for succinctness. In my experience, asking a practitioner about their pain poi…

    I really believe this "application" is the result of thinking about tests as a chore and requirement without great benefits. Your thought of LLM writing application give the tests …

    I keep hearing this all the time. May be I am (and a whole generation of me) an aberration, but I have no plans to switch to a car on demand. Let me be clear that I love public tra…

    I don't think in this use case that would be very logical. If we want to deploy survey telescopes and use SpaceX for it, what is the harm. Once deployed it is deployed. On the othe…

    The origins of the Singularity notion is interesting. But I find it amusing that we could think Singularity is near (mostly) on the basis of some LLMs. Unless we can create a true …

    Not exactly sure if this would qualify as an LLM in the GPT4 sense. But for no hallucination this seems good: https://www.thirdai.com/pocketllm/ Full disclosure. I know the founder…
