    I mean the easiest explanation would be that the model harness doesn't always take the most likely token but does top-k sampling or similar. temperatur just means that probabilitie…

    The question is, is that really only due to data center geo? I am always amazed how low latency and high quality Facetime between Europe Australia is. Seems like good engineering c…

    I don't disagree that very numerical tasks like revenue forecasting are not a good fit for LLMs. But neither did a lot of data scientist concerns themselves with such things (compa…

    Do those use cases need LLMs? Probably not. but if good results can be had with a day of prompting (in addition to the stuff mentioned in the article, which you have to do anyway) …

    As others have mentioned, one big issue is that every company does these things differently and just because someone texts you a link doesn't mean it's phishing, even though it fee…

    I mean it's not like Stripe was founded yesterday. Stripe: 2010 Paypal: 1998 I'd argue that 99% of the "internet gdp" happened after Stripe was founded
