I don't think these results show that. I think they show that additional prompting for testing approaches have wide differences in error rate (worst has twice the error rate of the best) but actually no extra prompting is pretty fine a

Regulation might have something to do with it but your example doesn't show that imo. Multiple US labs were taken to court over copyright infringment for their training data. Mistral did the same data mining, but actually the copyright

For me the problem is not that it has a plugin based architecture. It's that it ONLY has that. If there are no batteries included what's the point?

Yes this whole focus on customisation and plugins etc is really just laziness and the absence of innovation. I don't want an infinitely programmable IDE. I already have that it's called my computer. I want something that actually

Biology is in some sense a language, how do we even agree on what the boundaries of biology vs other domains of science are without participants agreeing on the rules? In any case I think you have an overly narrow definition of learning tha

Christianity has an ancient tradition of relics in which even in the absence of an actual corpse people will just pick up some random bone and be like "this was some old ladies actual hand, it has magic powers now" and then parade

The same way people generally equate luddism with anything. By entirely misunderstanding what it was to make a point that sounds snappy without all of that boring understanding history stuff.

You are simultaneously arguing for a more complex and nuanced testing approach that demands much higher quantities of data as a result, and also against RCTs, which perhaps rightly you've identified as having suffered from the same kin
