If the model was trained proper to the conversation with the researcher took place, there'd be no question of tainting the results. But if any amount of training on the model took place afterward, then yes, everything is thrown into d

I hate to hand anything to Generative AI tools, but While Great design breaks the mould, Very Good design is about surfacing the most expected outcomes for any action which reduces friction and lets people get work done. And this generation

It's a weird circle with these things. If you _can't_ do the task you are using the LLM for, you probably shouldn't. But if you can do the task well enough to at least recognize likely-to-be-correct output, then you can get

Not sure where you get 8 miles vs 11 miles (maybe the definition of a rural food desert?). > Low access is characterized by at least 500 people and/or 33 percent of the tract population residing more than 1 mile from a supermarket o

One possible saving grace for Z is that, due to how expensive it is to keep around, video will probably disappear much more readily than text and photos.

I think that's the right broad question. Though LLMs properties mean that for some number of cases they will either make the results worse, or more confidently present wrong answers. This prompts the question: what do we mean by &quo

If the current iteration of search engines are producing garbage results (due to an influx of garbage + SEO gaming their ranking systems) and LLMs are producing inaccurate results without any clear method proposed to correct them, why would

These policies are much clearer than they were when last I looked, which is good. On the other hand. Perplexity appeared to ignore robots.txt as part of a search-enhanced retrieval scheme, at least as recently as June of this year. The arti

There was a bunch of reporting on how AI companies and researchers were using tools that ignored robots.txt. It's a "polite request" that these companies had a strong incentive to ignore, so they did. That incentive is stil

Anecdata, with a few exceptions, the VR games I tried were impressive as an experience, but not really all that fun once the novelty passed. The limitations of the format clash with the kinds of games that are being made so I often felt li

This is, IMO, the better way to approach this problem. Minification applies rules to transform code, if we know the rules, we can reverse the process (but can't recover any lost information directly). A nice, constrained, way to use a

Another way I've encountered this is performance vs results. Performance is the things you do that you believe will lead to results. Results aren't always in your control (especially in competitive environments), but performance

I dig this. Reminds me of column mode in MacOS's finder, which is similarly helpful in "rewinding" an exploration of a file system. Would be interesting to rabbit other rabbit hole resources like Wikipedia or IMDB in this way

That's matches my experience as well. Really well put!

Yes, but if you don't have the LLM at the end, a good search (against a good corpus with the needed info) would still have given the user what they wanted. Which in this case, is a human vetted piece of relevant information. The LLM r

Seriously. This is why I don't like how much knowledge is being locked up in video platforms. I can get what I need to know from text so much faster than video unless the knowledge in question is inherently 3d/visual.

Four months for an offer sounds a lot more like a terrible salary negotiation tactic. The longer a candidate will wait for an offer, the less money they might be willing to accept. It's definitely not going to get you the best candidat

Re: Copenhagen + Amsterdam. These cities are relatively flat, relatively cool (watch videos of cycling in Copenhagen and you'll see a lot of people in coats and hats), and you don't have to bike very far to get somewhere interesti

This, particularly the "do everything they say, even if you hate it" bit. Fighting a good teacher's process is just going to slow you down.

I was thinking something fairly similar. You could probably do pretty well with a basic NN setup this way, no need for an LLM. It wouldn't work on "never seen before cards" and would probably make some absurd picks when it&

Preserving author intent is definitely one of the major outstanding problems in collaborative editing. NN's have certainly shown the most promise in performing human-like judgement calls, but this would be particularly thorny: you&#x2

One advantage for me, is that systems like this let me think only about relationships. This is particularly good when designing, or exploring how to think about an existing system. So for me, I get into a flow state, just connecting the d

Very neat! I really like the alignment tools, makes roughing things in quick. FYI: There's an issue with opacity when you draw ellipses with a different color stroke and reduce the opacity. You start seeing the fill shape behind the

Yeah, I would have been interested in this alternative hypothesis if it had any evidence behind it. Just a lot of "trust me bro" statements which don't cut it when peoples lives/livelihoods are in the mix.

I like the way you break down the emotional loop with criticism. For me, the way you've put this maps nicely to mindfulness practice. It's important to respond, rather than react to criticism. Taking a moment to listen to what y

I don't know how healthy this is but: I haven't run into many people who are harder on my work than I am. I have an attitude that there's absolutely nothing I do that can't be improved. This may sound miserable on the s

Yes, absolutely. There's a lot of people moving in to capitalize on the space between what people imagine they can do with LLM's, and what is currently possible. The difficulty in estimating what the LLM is likely to do with an
