Cancer is a parasitism that kills the host (or the host dies from other causes and it is not self-sufficient). Just because something is defined by uncontrolled self-replication doesn’t mean it is stable to live forever (Which is as much a

It isn’t actually very wrong. Your example is tangential as graders in school have multiple roles — teaching the content and grading. That’s an implementation detail, not a counter to the premise. I don’t think we should assume answering

> Good evaluations write test sets for the discriminators to show when this is or isn’t true. If they can’t write an evaluation for the discriminator I agree. All the input data issues you highlight also apply to generators.

I wish the other replies and this would engage with the sentence right after it indicating that you should test this premise empirically.

If this sort of error isn’t acceptable, it should be part of an evaluation set for your discriminator Fundamentally I’m not disagreeing with the article, but also think most people who care take the above approach because if you do care you

LLMs evaluating LLM outputs really isn’t that dire… Discriminating good answers is easier than generating them. Good evaluations write test sets for the discriminators to show when this is or isn’t true. Evaluating the outputs as the user m

That’s a premise that would make me consider the wiseness of my actions.

Quippy, but off the cuff: - I don’t go to my present town square(s) socially because it is full of a-social behavior. Same reason to avoid certain bars or clubs, prefer certain parks, or why some are wary of public transit. - I don’t feel a

Really enjoyed the piece. A passing thought: the ethe of individuals in the 70s and 80s is important because of the people it informed in subsequent years. While many people still like to hack, code, etc., the relative proportion of people

Glibly, I’d also love your definition of the education system writ large.

Bit of a detail, but where are you deriving “with hundreds of terabytes of unified GPU memory” from?

No, but it makes more conceptual sense given the model can consider what was said before it

I love the romance of this piece, but in my experience he’s just describing the difference in expectations of learning biology at a high school versus advanced undergraduate to graduate level. Romance is for those who care, and most don’t.

You could probably consider learning a sign wave to be a “grammar” related to periodic variations. Grammar in this context feels like “What are the core conceptual heuristics that help guide towards faster understanding”

I'd assume they mean users interacting with the chart vs first load. So the user sees the base chart (Let's say 1MB of data on the server, less depending what gets pushed to the user) and then additional filters, aggregations, et

Exactly what I want from DuckDB. Was playing with using it as a quicker cache for a data app backed in Snowflake, wonder how hard it’d be to write the attach for that vs doing it at the client level

Not to address the applicability of this, but you can have advantageous fallback behavior and still say “the system isn’t intended to be in the fallback behavior”.
