Sounds nice except that these are 1 very small scale model, 1 reranker, and 1 embedding model that are far from frontier LLM level. And they're not open sourced. As much as I agree with the message, this reads like marketing copy tryin

Just talk to them as if they were already your friend. Most of what you talk about with friends isn't just mutual interests and you start conversations with them all the time.

This blog post describes the basic work of a research engineer and nothing more. The amount of surprise the author has seems to suggest they haven't really worked in ML for very long. Honestly? This is the best its ever been. Getting s

The paper you're talking about is "Deal or No Deal? End-to-End Learning for Negotiation Dialogues" and it was just AIs drifting away from English. The crazy news article was from Forbes with the title "AI invents its own

My ideal is copilot that would evaluate the PR against some basic guidelines that maintainers write down. And perhaps a way to filter PRs to just contributor PRs would be easy to implement and pretty useful

Nice work. A while back, I learned convolutions using similar animations by Vincent Dumoulin and Francesco Visin's gifs https://github.com/vdumoulin/conv_arithmetic

reasonable post with a decent analogy explaining on-policy learning, only major thing I take issue with is > Reinforcement learning is a technical subject—there are whole textbooks written about it. and then linking to the still wip RLHF

I think it's pretty obvious it's 1. Given the recent huge, clearly politically-motivated cuts from the current administration, it feels pretty likely that FOIA could be disrupted under the guise of "cost-saving". And I t

Good summary of some of the main "theoretical" criticism of LLMs but I feel that it's a bit dated and ignores the recent trend of iterative post-training, especially with human feedback. Major chatbots are no doubt being iter

The low quality of this blog post (and all your posts) makes me think you wrote it mostly with AI. The irony is palpable. AI is clearly enhancing humans in their creation of garbage.

You understand some of what your cats mean because you learned it using the same language games Wittgenstein describes. Also they co-evolved to work with us. But just because you understand three moods of your cat, doesn't mean you wou

The problem with your perspective is you are assuming children have independent wants and needs to work and can stand up for themselves like adult workers can. This just isn't the case. Children don't personally decide to work, th

Of all the absolute horseshit in the article, the most obviously wrong is saying that "tech doesn't play both sides of the political aisle". So obviously wrong if you look at any single company. Just recently, we saw how FTX

How did you run the benchmarking, zero-shot or few-shot? I think a fair comparison would be Llama-7B which got an average ~35% for 5-shot.

Did you read the whole report??? The complainant is essentially stalking his neighbour with surveillance footage, recording any time the neighbour so much as looks in his direction, and keeps a stalker-ish log book with insults. On top of t

The important difference between the LM and the content moderation system (itself built on top of an LM) is their training objective. LM is doing next-word prediction (or human-preference prediction with RLHF), whereas the content moderatio

Even if you take this perspective, different groups are considered vulnerable in different parts of the world and it seems the API uses the American perspective. E.g. Scandinavians are a less protected group than Italians according to the a

This article is interesting but a major issue is that the vast majority of the points (and the linked articles!) are not about psychedelics. They are about pharmacology, psychology, statistical significance, and science in general. The majo

I was going to point out how old all of the info in the article was (why talk about Kyoto when the Paris accords and COP are more recent and more relevant) but then realized the article is from 2017. Ignoring the nonsense idea that climate
