The failure is in this very common exchange Average voter: I can't afford groceries at the store. Inflation sucks. Response: Actually, here is the correct definition of "inflation." As you can see from the correct definition,

What were your experiences with Cursor? I was thinking of switching but didn't see the point.

If you found a stock price that actually follows the geometric Brownian motion pattern this model is built on, wouldn't that basically just print you an infinite amount of money? The expected value of the price movement one time-unit l

You can even take an enormous sample of articles that he has written and fine tune a model on it, so that it really sounds like him.

"Just because we can parameterize an arbitrarily flexible class of distributions doesn't mean we have an algorithm to learn the optimal set of parameters." This is equally mangled, if not more, than what Altman is saying. We

What on Earth is happening at the end of this article? I feel like I'm reading an AI-generated text from a pre-GPT-2 model. For instance: "Order summation. Disjoint sum of underling sets and the sayeverything in Right is greater t

What, are nation states trying to interfere in US elections on a real tight budget or something?

Fortunately they seem to be using centralized services such as OpenAI's API, where they can get caught, rather than spinning up their own Llama instances.

Why wouldn't Iran just use Llama or something?

It's an informative exercise to go look at the analysis of carbon emissions by sector for different countries. For instance, in the US, residential made up 311 million of 4.807 billion total metric tons of CO2 output ( https:/&#x2

This doesn't make sense to me. You don't have to use negative voltages to encode ternary. You can just use three different positive voltages, if you like. 0V = 0, +3V = 1, +6V = 2.

You still use System 7?!

I'm pretty interested in this kind of thing - any resources you could suggest?

There aren't that many solutions. You can go to 5 digit numbers, or use 4 characters with an expanded alphabet, or do nothing. What other solutions could there possibly be?

Wow, super interested. Can this be used for realtime audio, like guitar effects? Could you use this to make synths and etc? What OS is it and what CPU?

What you're missing is that this kind of thing has arbitrarily been declared "artificial intelligence" territory. Once the ability of computers to do has been established, it will no longer be artificial intelligence territor

Why don't you think that AI models will, perhaps rather soon, surpass human capabilities in finding security vulnerabilities? Because an AI that's even equally competent would be a fairly catastrophic event.

This was not a bad take at all in 2007. In fact, it's really incredible just how much things have turned around, with Microsoft (via OpenAI) currently far ahead of Google.

I have always thought this association is partly from some intuition we have about the mechanical and acoustic properties of hypothetical things that would have this shape. The shape with sharp, jagged edges would occur in real life if it w

No. Newer models have 128K of input tokens, but only 4096 output tokens.

Couldn't you just do a bunch of different faxes, perhaps in different fonts or different font sizes, which would lead to different randomly distributed errors? Then you can do OCR for all of them, and just take the median of the result

That guy in general was clearly just trolling. If you go further up, you can see that everyone's mostly happy with the solution to have a separate plugin for this but him. His first reason was that he just didn't want to see the o
