That acronym is unacceptable. It's going to impede discussion and cause confusion for a long time if it doesn't die off immediately.

- gchamonlive 4mo agoYeah, look what happened to GNU
- iugtmkbdfil834 4mo agoIs this the right place to do everyone's favorite copypasta?:D
- gchamonlive 4mo agoSorry but I missed the joke, could you include me in the group? Honest question
- iugtmkbdfil834 4mo agoI live to serve. For everyone's enjoyment: https://stallman-copypasta.github.io/ https://stallman-copypasta.github.io/ GNU/Linux Copypasta I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
- gchamonlive 4mo agoExactly the kind of pedantry I enjoy
- evan_ 4mo ago"Analysis" was right there

- llarota 4mo agonot bad although archived. have any info why?
- ikiris 4mo agoNow I just hear the Voltron intro riff in my head

- pipeToLess 4mo agoBetween transformers, voltron, and borderline evil siblings it’s kinda of a miracle I made it from birth to now. But, hey, here we are and I love my brother… pretty sure he still stands me too.
- tracker1 4mo agoNot as much as when the leg broke off and you couldn't fix it, so you glue it in place and stop playing with it rather than ever tell your parents you broke it.
- froh 4mo agoconfusing indeed. I wondered "which RAM? nvram? dram? vram? dram? now what's g-ram?"
- jorvi 4mo agoWe're still talking about "zero-shot prompt" when the saying "X-shotted" ["One-shotted the difficult maze"] was already a well-established thing in daily vernacular. So now you constantly have to readjust your brain because whenever you read "zero-shot prompt" your mind goes "uh.. a zero-try attempt is a paradox and cannot exist".
- customguy 4mo agoZero shotting: there wasn't even an attempt. Minus one shotting: you have to make one attempt for there to have been no attempt, and two attempts for there to have been one attempt.
- altmanaltman 4mo agoYou miss 100% of the shots you don't take - Wayne Gretzky - altmanaltman
- acka 4mo agoOne shot: Taking a shot, just once. Zero shot: Knowing you had a shot but choosing not to. Minus one shot: Not even realizing there was a shot.
- selcuka 4mo ago> a zero-try attempt is a paradox and cannot exist Have you tried applying L'Hôpital's Rule?
- lambda 4mo agoZero-shot, one-shot, few-shot etc. refers to how many examples you have to give. It comes about from machine learning algorithms that could pick up on patterns from a small number of examples. Few shot means only a handful of examples to recognize something. One shot means only a single example. And zero shot means no examples. Of course, you have to indicate what you want somehow, but in the case of an LLM that's the prompt. Once LLMs were trained for instruction following, you didn't have to give any examples, you could just give a prompt describing what you want, and that was a zero-shot.
- coldtea 4mo agoIt's just an acronym. It's not gonna impede anything. Think of it as just a name - you either know what it refers to or you don't, you don't understand something from it's name, or it's acronym.
- noisy_boy 4mo agoIt's great if they also introduce KILOGRAM
