It was a show that should have been two seasons, which they stretched into five.

I'm honestly confused as to why it is doing this and why it thinks I'm right when I tell it that it is incorrect. I've tried asking it factual information, and it asserts that it's incorrect but it will definitely halluc

Autoregressive models can't just resume so they have to re-parse the entire prompt again for each execution. By caching them they resume from where it left off from before thereby completely bypassing all that computation. For large co

Windows 7 wouldn't have saved them if they used Crowdstrike. This was the problem. :-/

He got us out of Afghanistan too... this was a huge win and was very risky. Doesn't get enough credit for this one. Agreed on NATO + Ukraine too but I wish they would allow us to strike Russia directly even with NATO equipment.

All this old SGI and SUN equipment was super cool. It was all before my time but it was all super high end and really well built.

Thanks for posting this. I with more people were aware of this law.

Feature that benefits who? the VCs? I think that's what you're trying to say (with sarcasm). Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Ask HN: Why don't VCs just "suck it up" and pay founders a competitive salary?

There must be a relationship here between Shannon's estimation that english is 1 bit of entropy per character and is highly redundant and 'easy' to predict. A highly advanced AI could compress the text and predict the next se

I want ONE breakthrough like this in my lifetime. Something completely game changing.

It's like hearing stories about people hating the first automobiles because they weren't horses. The education bubble is about to implode - it will probably be one of the first industries killed by AI.

It's really disturbing to me how many people don't realize it's not possible. It's like asking a 747 to be made into a dog. It's completely nonsensical to me.

I'd go further and say if only corporations with government license are allowed to create LLMs, then we should NOT have LLMs. Let the market develop organically.

In the 2000s I was addicted to Elisp and contributed a ton of OSS code including JDE, EDEE, and tons of other tools. But... I had just a MASSIVE amount of code that was literally just for me. Emacs basically became my OS. Emacs allowed you

That's not really what's happening here I think. I think he's just not sure what's ok or not ok to write about. Nothing he wrote here was problematic. No secrets and just sort of mild criticism.

The next major leap in LLMs (in the next year) is probably going to be the prompt context size. Right now we have 2k, 4k, 8k ... but OpenAI also has a 32k model that they're not really giving access to unfortunately. The 8k model is n

I started working on my own version of this but what I found is that the text extraction part is the key. I looked at using MathPix but it has images as part of its output. That would be fine, but I don't have the GPT4 version with ima

I am definitely not in favor of OSS license for models >= GPT3... Not unless they're aligned well. There are all sorts of horrible use cases that these could be used for.

We're stuck here for a while due to the size, and cost, of the larger models. The main reason I want a non-cloud LLM is that I want one that's unaligned. I know I'm not a criminal and I want to stop being reprimanded by GPT4.

Were you able to figure out if the RL models are going to be jailed? A 65B parameter model could be a bit frightening. That's 1/3rd the size of GPT3.

Honestly, I think it's completely unfair for AIs to train on this data. I work in ML so I'm aware of the consequences but society wasn't. My step-daughter is finally crushing it as an graphics artist and she is really pissed

I've gotten so used to ChatGPT I just copied the text of this and told it to summarize the entire thing down to 5 paragraphs. I know there was a summary but the point is that ChatGPT just really accelerates a LOT of bulk work we were u
