    I mean I used to work on model reliability with my little PhD degree and the models i manage go down all the time. Some profs have a team of PhDs and things go to shit all the time…

    Schemas can get pretty complex (and LLMs might not be the best at counting). Also schemas are sometimes the first way to guard against the stochasticity of LLMs. With that said, th…

    Resouce-affording, if you are chasing the frontier of some more niche task you redo your training regime on the new-gen LLMs

    Is it though? There is a reason gpt has codex variants. RL on a specific task raises the performance on that task

    Sure never again is totally fair and I am sure a lot of people hate it. I was mostly objecting to the radioactivity of it. Your friends will be more like “I am looking to sell my T…

    Agreed, I am surprised he is happy to stay this long. He would have been on paper a far better match at a place like pre-Gemini-era Google

    I don't know the data distribution, but are you sure that's generated by an Adobe model? I can only see that it is in Stock + it is tagged as AI generated (that is, was that image …

    Emmmm sure, but throw this to a human artist who has not heard of Indiana Jones and see if they draw something alike.

    I work in this space. In traditional diffusion-based regimes (paired image and text), one can absolutely check the text to remove all occurrences of Indiana Jones. Likewise, Adobe …

    My personal mantra (that I myself cannot uphold 100%) is that every dev should at least do the exercise of implementing binary search from scratch in a language with arbitrary-prec…
