#333Yes, an amusing one: the Android app for the Berlin public transport, on the 29th, listed the results with the date of the previous day (28th). The funny thing is that the list is prefaced by a banner saying that this is a known bug, and the results actually refer to the 29th. Interesting way to workaround a bug :)
I think this is it here, yes? https://twitter.com/abhyudaypratap_/status/17632771389442543...

He's saying the LLM will figure out how many letters are in each token.
GGP's idea suggests that an LLM, allegedly as a whole-room, receives something like: "hey, look at these tokens: , please infer the continuation". This puts it into a nested-room's-operator position, which (1) it is not, (2) there's no nested room.

#339We have a product that uses ChatGPT via the API, using the 3.5 turbo version. Our query involves some dates. Instead of giving back text like it usually does, today it has been giving errors because it does not think 2024-02-29 is a valid date. This is easy to reproduce with the web interface, at least sometimes [0]. It start out by saying it's not a valid date and then as it's explaining why it isn't it realizes its…

Both Feb 28 and Mar 1 are commonly used to celebrate birthdays. AFAIK there is no firm convention. Feb is more natural ("My birthday is in February"), Mar is more logical (the 60th days of the year).
Is March more logical? Feb 29 + 1 year = Feb 28.
"Feb 29 + 1 year" is verbatim restatement.

You can say Feb 29 + 365 days = Feb 28. (And Feb 29 + 730 days = Feb 27.)

EDIT:
Note that in the context of birthdays, people use "calendar years," not "unit of time which is ~1 revolution around the sun."
Birthdays aren't celebrated every X million seconds after the moment of birth.
They are celebrated the same day each calendar year -- notwithstanding the fuzzy concept of "same day" for incongruent calendar years. There's no singuar right answer, but that is the core question: "what is the same day next (calendar) year?"
