> Unless they have been shown to be relevant in any way, I don't see why the paper need cite them. Fair. Your argument then falls precisely into category (C) of the four mutually e…

Not, but having a small section in the paper would be reasonable, that illustrates why the most pertinent models that might be relevant at first sight (like the ones I cited) are a…

I only spent a few minutes skimming thr paper, but: 1) there are a lot of papers claiming to be the successor to the Transformer, and not all of them are cited; e.g., the MetaForme…

Of this is true, it would be something close of an insane situation: One of the largest datasets, that the largest companies are using to train their models (probably; many of the …

Could you share more about copyright? For example, aren't you worried that now, with all kinds of lawsuits happening [1] and copyright issues that were found in existing datasets […

Congratulation, great paper! It should have been put on HN earlier ;) I have a few questions: * you say (page 4): "We then perform standard instruction finetuning on the base LLaMA…

In February I published a paper on mathematics + ChatGPT ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.13867 ) and my colleagues, who were also on LinkedIn, told me it garnered quite a bit of atten…

> OpenAI's chosen not to release any real details about GPT-4 Actually, they have release some details about it, in this 99-page technical report https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.08774 (…

Indeed! This is the weirdest thing. How can it be that it depends on whether I click or copy to the browser whether it works?...

A lot of facets of this power balance have been mentioned. Here's a new one (I think): Imagine busy CEO B that doesn't care about your time, that you need to pester with emails to …

As we speak nature is serving us with a particulay nasty "decision" called climate change. No, we're still at the mercy but just on a different scale. Earlier it was the individual…

I do wonder what it was specifically that you didn't like training NN's. At least when doing research on NN's, everything is very interesting, as many many aspects of them aren't w…

That's not quite true, as there are overlaps. To name just one big topic: Pseudorandom number generators. Here you have a (number) theory, including things like finite fields, to g…

The free/proprietary distinction is only irrelevant for small-ish projects, on the order of a few months, where "good" is a one-dimensional measure in terms of features the applica…

So how do you manage your banking and tax issues without going insane? Is your company providing you with high-quality tax advisors that help you deal with this issue?

Diversifying your banking lowers your risk or being locked out of an account, but increases the risk of data and identity theft somewhat, as various digital copies of your IDs and …

Is the NI really a must in UK? I have heard of people working there that are working only for a few years in academia who don't have an NI - or at least so they claim.

One year (one day actually) in a decade comes close to the very definition of a black swan event. :) And yes, people will opt for convenience, not rational behavior: In some cases,…
