HyDE is the way to go! Just ask the model to generate a bunch of hypothetical answers to the question in different formats and do similarity on those. Or even better, as the OP suggests standardise the format of the chunks and generate a hy

Great post! I've been looking to get into the guts of large scale model training (I'm half-way between the design and application layer of LLMs, mostly in python, sometimes a bit of c++) and this will be a great reference to have.

I think the issue of test set contamination is important, but it’s academic - when a model contains a good enough distilled representation of arguably all the code out there, does it really matter whether it can generalise OOD? Realisticall

Haha fair enough but I think we digress. I did get the warning when I clicked. The point is I see no evidence why HTTP is better for viewability than HTTPS. I showed there are cases where it’s not. You showed there are cases where it’s irre

Ah I see, sorry to not address that - got carried away on entropic musings. It seems that is not an assumption he’s making, but it’s what he’s proven: > when a group of atoms is driven by an external source of energy (…) and surrounded

Agree. I cannot comment on how probable or how widespread, but only that it is possible, and in fact it is arguably a certainty based on the premises above. Now if entropy was the only driver then self-replicating systems would be the norm.

How I understand it: Entropy (according to Boltzmann) is proportional to the number of microstates that can give rise to a particular macrostate of a system. The macrostate with the highest number of possible microstates is the uniform one,

Indeed these are normative claims, not descriptive. The emergence of life is is an extremly complex stochastic process, and likely impossible to describe. However, it does seem plausible that if a) high dissipative systems are more likely t

Quoting England: > I am just saying that from the perspective of the physics, you might call Darwinian evolution a special case of a more general phenomenon. I think this is exactly alligned with your Newtonian-GR analogy.

Why would that be the case? Every modern browser actively discourages visiting HTTP sites so I imagine a non-negligible amount of users decide not to visit the page.

So what you're saying is: HTTPS is secure -> a bug made 2.6% of all certificates less secure -> that's why we shouldn't use HTTPS? I'm quite confused how that holds logically. You can either argue HTTPS is fundamen
