    Could multiple Chinese characters be counted as a single token?

    Comment #48933081

    I've been contemplating that recently. You're of course correct that subsidized tokens won't be forever, but that might only be half the story, since there's two opposing forces in…

    Presumably you'd be paying for that, right? What if the CEO of that one will come along and notice all the fat stacks of money he's leaving on the table by not advertising to all o…

    In this case it seems like a bit of coaching could have retained a talented employee who has a preference for taking initiative. I have a hunch that the order of the day within big…

    I'm surprised explanation is necessary, but OK. Even if the criminals don't themselves consider the presence of cameras, the cameras likely ensure they will not have freedom for to…

    They might not, but there is a further defence against their lack of consideration about consequences. It's called incarceration.

    The entire concept of a review is that it's one person's opinion.

    As I see it, you're making a few mistakes in your thinking in this post: 1. You assume that the recent change is that we are close to building in space, but actually what's changed…

    Fair, but actually you'd surely want your choice of those three, right? And what's being discussed here is what the better implementation of option 3 is. My point is that if you're…

    Why are you pretending those are the options? The options are: 1. 22GB per website 2. 22GB per browser 3. 0GB / No AI capabilities By having this in Chrome they are simply ensuring…

    It can write (some) code that works. Just roughly guessing from my use, but I think of it as being a bit like ChatGPT circa-2024 in terms of capability & speed. Disappointing if yo…
