Our org can't use Fable bc they require 7-day data retention to be turned on and my company won't do that. So it might have something to do with that rather than actual lack of demand.

because it's likely that a lot more of the training data is in python than in rust, so coding models are less likely to mess up python code? just based on PL popularity stats e.g. https://madnight.github.io/githut/

I'm not sure people outside of Greater Boston would care, but those of us who do live there probably find it exceedingly strange that this occurred in Brookline of all places.

Well, currently we have a ton of Congresspeople who are primarily motivated by their "good financial sense" (for obvious reasons e.g. this study). So, I think we could do with a few more Congresspeople with less financial sense

Maybe this is a nitpick but CoNLL NER is not a "challenging task". Even pre-LLM systems were getting >90 F1 on that as far back as 2016. Also, just in case people want to lit review further on this topic: they call their method

I believe many high-quality embedding models are still based on BERT, even recent ones, so I don't think it's entirely fair to characterize it as "deprecated".

Is it actually more feasible now? Do LLMs actually make this problem easier to solve? Because I have a hard time believing they can actually extract time increments and higher-level tasks from log data without a ton of pre/post-process

Why? Do they not know where the data in their own system, that they built, is being sent?

I suggest going through the exercise of seeing whether this is true quantitatively. Get a business-relevant NER dataset together (not CoNLL, preferably something that your boss or customers would care about), run it against Mistral/etc

Why do people pretend that alignment of AI is the important problem to solve, rather than alignment of the companies that run AI products with the wellbeing of humanity?

Certain brands (e.g. SkinnyPop) advertise their bags as "chemical-free" (SkinnyPop claims their's is free of PFOAS). Can anyone help me understand/verify these kinds of claims?

Does anyone know of a good piece of writing about what has made TSMC so successful, what makes their management so good, etc.? Seems like an operational exemplar I'd like to learn more about.

I don't know what you mean by compiler terms but basically, worse tokenizer = worse LM performance. This is because worse tokenizer means more tokens per sentence so it takes more FLOPs to train on each sentence, on average. So given a

Companies have been hand-wringing about the tech labor shortage for the last 10 years. People went to school and got degrees in a job sector they thought would be pretty safe. Supply/demand.

For GPT4: "Pricing is $0.03 per 1,000 “prompt” tokens (about 750 words) and $0.06 per 1,000 “completion” tokens (again, about 750 words)." Meanwhile, there are off-shelf models that you can train very efficiently, on relevant data

Seems like accepting lots of part time work would be a great way help employers pay us less and take away benefits/working hours flexibility. I don't wanna be a gig worker. I want a salary, benefits, and a 4 day work week.

Very hard to make a business case because for the reasons you mentioned + the costs are very front-loaded because ontologies are so damn hard to build, even for very well-contained problems. Without a clear payoff, why bother
