I can be pressured to use it at work to keep up with others who use it, while simultaneously knowing that it is eroding and devaluing my skills, and wishing that we could all stop …

You can't accidentally retrain a model to use a different tokenizer. It changes the input vectors to the model.

We might as well use the axiom that “you can make arbitrary choices at each stage of a transfinite induction”. It’s mostly pedagogical tradition to make students translate that int…

What on earth are these questions? They don’t resemble any real use of an llm for work.

No it is not horrible to work with. Even the “standard” settings are quite lax.

If you’re meta and you have to defend the AI by admitting “it’s not really intelligent and everything it says is bullshit”, that’s not a position of strength.

Ruff can automatically upgrade all of the issues you mentioned to match your target minimum python version.

Are the pandas people considering this as the default string type? Seems like it would be a slam dunk.

I'm looking at the very first example, and I'm a little confused. The function `home()` displays a list of messages, but they aren't passed into `home()`. Instead, `messages` is ba…

You can obviously compensate by changing other taxes to be more progressive, this is such a silly argument.

This is an example of bad code.

Ensemble of any number GPT 3.5 agents is less accurate than one call to GPT-4.

That was me on Reddit. I emailed him asking about some of his work on invariant means in the 1970s. He said “I had no taste then”, and told me what a waste of time it was. At that …

I’ve had instability with my 7700k since I bought it, and 16 months of bios updates haven’t helped. Maybe this latest generation of processors just has more trouble than older, sim…

You work with probability density functions because the probability of observing any given value in a continuum is zero. Density functions may be reasonable to work with if they ha…

I agree. We should prompt the model with the statement of the Riemann hypothesis. If the autocomplete is good, the model will output a proof.

“All you need is pretraining on the test set.”

You can squint and see the letters, so I’m assuming this isn’t it.

60 is not a multiple of 24.

Obviously this improves interoperability and the handling of nulls and strings. My naïve understanding is that polars columns are immutable because that makes multiprocessing faste…

Their suggested replacement for smtpd is a package that hasn’t been updated in almost two years.
