    Shouldn't the "sonic boom" here provide good data as to the existence of dark matter (akin to the Bullet cluster)? Anyone on hn with good background care to comment? Don't see anyt…

    Is gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct function calling a chess-playing model instead of generating through the base LLM? This is not "cheating" in my opinion... in general better for LLMs to k…
