Cool, I wonder if this means they will finally start letting foreign visitors also use the app. I'm an American living abroad now for many years, and I was initially super excited …

It's even more difficult because, while all the benchmarks provide some kind of 'averaged' performance metric for comparison, in my experience most users have pretty specific regul…

Yikes. That's a rather disturbing but all to realistic possibility isn't it. Flattery will get you... everywhere?

This is quite interesting, but I have to ask, have you experimented much with larger LLMs as a mechanism to basically automate the entire process? I'm doing something pretty simila…

Holy moly this was _exactly_ my impression. It seems to really be proliferating and it drives me nuts. It makes it almost impossible to useful things, which never used to be a prob…

I think it is still meaningful because it's extremely common for management to favor hiring cheaper 'talent'. Pointing out the issues with that in various different ways is still v…

Actually, my understanding is that it is an estimation because in the given context we don't know or cannot compute the true answer due to some kind of constraint (here memory or t…

Do we also have updated scores for the GPT3.5~GPT4.0 models? The old ones are here but they don't appear to have been updated: - https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_ll…

The author directly addresses this sentiment in the concluding paragraph: > Although there are physicists who wonder “Why did we even need to do this experiment; we all knew that a…

I think the article is a near miss on the right idea. The important point is that a _dedicated_ vector database is probably overkill and not justified for most real-world use cases…

Especially after OP notes that the issue had been reported on and subsequently ignored for 6 years. Pretty lame behavior by the maintainer IMO.

and you can still combine them for tasks that require strict output control (e.g. alphanumeric sequence recognition, noisy keyword spotting, strict grammars, etc).

How does whatsapp make revenue? I've used it for years. I don't pay for it, I never see ads in it. They claim it is 'secure' and my conversation data isn't used for anything. Even …

There have recently been some some nice early surveys on progress, pitfalls, future research directions: - A Survey of LLMs https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.18223 - Challenges and Applic…

Make sure to keep a copy of a compatible OS handy too. Perhaps hardware as well. The relentless march towards obsolescence is hard to stop.

The “history” is not very accurate either.

I’ve very often thought of those same parallel worlds myself. How few I probably inhabit today. The best I can hope is that husbanding my son’s energy will ensure that I leave this…

Are you paying OpenAI? I’m not. Facebook’s midterm game on “massive” AI seems to be “commoditize the competition” and ATM it looks like a good bet.

I think we’re nearing the point of the initial dotcom bust. A whole of internet startups went completely belly up when the early 2000s initial bubble burst. That was no reflection …

I know this terror as a parent now, and recognize just how scary it must have been for mine. I was one of these kids growing up; I didn't free solo but I found plenty of cliffs to …

> For an industry that doesn’t do it for the money, we sure talk about money an awful lot in the world of startups. Do people really insist that this is the case with a straight fa…

Same thing with “try to sound friendly.” Please and thank you are essential. But there are few things I hate more than cloying emails that start with “Hi!” (the exclamation point i…

You might like this one; seems to be the basis for the blog post: - https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.10169

While I'm definitely not going to argue that LLMs are inherently 'thinking' like people do, one thing I do find pretty interesting is that all this talk about hallucinations and bi…
