    Good question. I agree with what I think you're implying, which is that local generation is not the right choice if you want to maximize results per time/$ spent. In my experience,…

    Supporting all the various devices does sound quite challenging. I wouldn't expect a perfect single measurement of "quality" to exist, but it seems like it could be approximated en…

    This (+ llmfit) are great attempts, but I've been generally frustrated by how it feels so hard to find any sort of guidance about what I would expect to be the most straightforward…

    Thanks for the response! I hear what you're saying, and I apologize for my joke. I re-read your essay, and what you say about needing sophistication reminds me of the concept of pr…

    It's clever that the the author provides both his essay and an example at the same time! Sorry, that joke felt obligatory. Miscellaneous reactions, in an elegant bulleted list: - "…

    I might be misunderstanding your point, but quantization can have a dramatic impact on the quality of the model's output. For example, in diffusion, there are some models where a Q…

    Yeah. In the example I shared, my charitable interpretation would be that it's identifying the trick question as "a setup" where the punch line is the confusion the audience experi…

    The recursive one that I have actually been really liking recently, and I think is a real enough challenge is: "Answer the question 'What do you get when you cross a joke with a rh…

    I checked out your docs, and I agree that they flow very nicely! So often it seems that docs are either frustratingly vague to the point where it almost seems like the company is e…

    You might be the first person that I've recommended Unsong to that actually gave it a chance. :)

    True, perhaps "messy" was the wrong word. I think what I was trying to get at was that I feel "There Is No Antimemetics Division" is more accessible for the average reader -- More …

    I sent out about 8 copies of this book to friends/relatives for christmas a couple years ago, and it was very well received. It's not without flaws, but it's absolutely packed with…

    I don't think this is a good example. The bus is clearly a simplified representation. If the answer/explanation given was actually correct then you'd also expect the bus to have ot…

    Are you also saying that thoughts are formed using gradient descent? I don't think gradient descent is an accurate way to describe either process in nature. Also, we don't know tha…

    Idea: It would be super cool if the camera angle also shifted a bit when you tilt your phone, making the level look more like a real object. You would have to assume the relative p…

    Butter sticks in the US have marks down the side of the wrapper, like a ruler, that show you tablespoon increments. Google image search "tablespoons butter stick".

    That's not entirely true. This wasn't the case for SD 2.0/2.1, and I don't think SD 3.0 will be available publicly for fine tuning.

    Interesting idea, thanks! I will probably try this. I had stopped tweaking things too much after implementing MPAA, because most of the searches end up "short circuit"-ing relative…

    I've spent a lot of time thinking about fast pathfinding in order to speed up my Scala Quoridor AI*[0], and here are some tips/tricks I've learned: - MPAA (multipath adaptive A*) i…

    In my experience/understanding, one's emotions are a better explanation of procrastination than an insufficient ability to "delay gratification". For example if you feel anxious/ho…

    I would say the number of items in a set, so by that logic the number of items in every type of infinite set would each seem to be infinity. Maybe where I'm struggling is that I'm …

    Comment #35634102

    There are many comments saying that one infinity can be larger than another because a bijective mapping can't be formed, but why does the presence of a mapping imply anything about…

    This sounds like a disturbingly effective idea. I'm glad that lootbox legislation seems to be increasing, but I don't think it would cover the general concept of commercially extor…
