It can be the case that both: - The physics of the universe can be completely modeled as computation, and - It's possible to pose undecidable problems about the way the universe unfolds This is intrinsic to the idea of undecidability e

This was long before. Google had conversational LLMs before ChatGPT (though they weren’t as good in my recollection), and they declined to productize. There was a sense at the time that you couldn’t productize anything with truly open ended

Both would be understood and are roughly interchangeable. "Sequential" feels more appropriate to me for the task runner scenario where we wait for one task to finish before running the next. "Series" suggests a kind of c

You might be using JSON mode, which doesn’t guarantee a schema will be followed, or structured outputs not in strict mode. It is possible to get the property that the response is either a valid instance of the schema or an error (eg for ref

Is it luck, or is scaling arithmetic genuinely a useful capability to offer the world?

I assume you know how to program in Python? I would start with just the client libraries of the model providers you want to use. LLMs are conceptually simple when treated as black boxes. String in, string out. You don't necessarily nee

I’m not as familiar with the Baby Bells, so this is a surprising comparison to me. Bell Labs was famously so productive while it had the monopoly money hose, and not as much came from it after Bell was broken up. What are the most noteworth

Sounds more like Generation Augmented Retrieval in that case.

I don’t know of any public details on how they implement Context Caching, but that is presumably exactly what they are doing. Just caching the text would be a minimal savings.

The size of the cached internal state of the network processing the book is much larger than the size of the book. The resource that is preserved with caching is the compute required to recreate that state.

I’m guessing there was an instrumental reason for this, for instance to check that the model was listening before launching into what they wanted to demo

There are many different rules of thumb on this floating around. 1g per lb of body weight is indeed something a number of well informed people recommend, but those people generally acknowledge that it’s something like an upper bound on the

Cardio isn’t super important for what? It certainly has longevity benefits over and above those from resistance training.

Attention itself was the key idea of that paper and, as you sort of acknowledge, was definitely not just throwing things at the wall. It was the culmination of a long line of work gradually progressing toward fully dynamic routing via atten

The key feature of the NEC is that the cities are large and close together. This is true almost nowhere else in the country.

You can achieve this without UUID keys if you attach UUIDs to the requests. This has the advantage of working for all kinds of mutating requests, not just creates, but requires that you store these request UUIDs for some period of time as w

It might be legal from Canada's perspective, but that doesn't necessarily mean legal action couldn't be taken in the US. Is there something specific to the law on recording phone calls that makes this not a problem?

“Symbolic reasoning” used to make “decisions which influence the environment with which the system interacts” could describe almost all real world computer systems, could it not?

If everyone chooses to comply with the law in the same annoying way, that’s a consequence of the law. It may be a second order effect, but good governance means considering second order effects.

It doesn’t seem like this article considers any benefits from allowing this launch or specifies a threshold of damage under which the author would be okay with allowing the launch. In general, doing things like developing the capacity to la
