Cool, I wonder if this means they will finally start letting foreign visitors also use the app. I'm an American living abroad now for many years, and I was initially super excited to try Waymo in LA and SF this summer when I visited wi

It's even more difficult because, while all the benchmarks provide some kind of 'averaged' performance metric for comparison, in my experience most users have pretty specific regular use cases, and pretty specific personal ba

Yikes. That's a rather disturbing but all to realistic possibility isn't it. Flattery will get you... everywhere?

This is quite interesting, but I have to ask, have you experimented much with larger LLMs as a mechanism to basically automate the entire process? I'm doing something pretty similar right now for internal meetings and I use a process l

Holy moly this was _exactly_ my impression. It seems to really be proliferating and it drives me nuts. It makes it almost impossible to useful things, which never used to be a problem with Python - even in the case of complex projects. Fi

I think it is still meaningful because it's extremely common for management to favor hiring cheaper 'talent'. Pointing out the issues with that in various different ways is still valuable.

Actually, my understanding is that it is an estimation because in the given context we don't know or cannot compute the true answer due to some kind of constraint (here memory or the size of |X|). An approximation is when we use a sim

Do we also have updated scores for the GPT3.5~GPT4.0 models? The old ones are here but they don't appear to have been updated: - https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderb...

The author directly addresses this sentiment in the concluding paragraph: > Although there are physicists who wonder “Why did we even need to do this experiment; we all knew that antimatter has positive mass,” that sentiment is absolutel

I think the article is a near miss on the right idea. The important point is that a _dedicated_ vector database is probably overkill and not justified for most real-world use cases. But a multi-modal database that also supports embeddings

Especially after OP notes that the issue had been reported on and subsequently ignored for 6 years. Pretty lame behavior by the maintainer IMO.

and you can still combine them for tasks that require strict output control (e.g. alphanumeric sequence recognition, noisy keyword spotting, strict grammars, etc).

How does whatsapp make revenue? I've used it for years. I don't pay for it, I never see ads in it. They claim it is 'secure' and my conversation data isn't used for anything. Even if the last is untrue; and I wo

Make sure to keep a copy of a compatible OS handy too. Perhaps hardware as well. The relentless march towards obsolescence is hard to stop.

The “history” is not very accurate either.

I’ve very often thought of those same parallel worlds myself. How few I probably inhabit today. The best I can hope is that husbanding my son’s energy will ensure that I leave this place before he does.

Are you paying OpenAI? I’m not. Facebook’s midterm game on “massive” AI seems to be “commoditize the competition” and ATM it looks like a good bet.

I think we’re nearing the point of the initial dotcom bust. A whole of internet startups went completely belly up when the early 2000s initial bubble burst. That was no reflection of the actual potential it just indicated that people at al

Same thing with “try to sound friendly.” Please and thank you are essential. But there are few things I hate more than cloying emails that start with “Hi!” (the exclamation point is the problem) and emoji are definitely worse. Being polit

While I'm definitely not going to argue that LLMs are inherently 'thinking' like people do, one thing I do find pretty interesting is that all this talk about hallucinations and bias seems to often conveniently ignore the fac

You could do something two pass and collect forced alignment confidence scores similar to what is fine with whisperx. The OP would need to incorporate that into the app but it’s a pretty standard approach.
