What does "evolve replication" mean?
152.
by netdevnet 2y ago
Yes, this is it. The goal of the question is "Do they understand what we and I are doing here? Do they understand what they are asking of me? Can they empathize with me?". And the meaning is simply if they have programming skills.

Chat GPT is just GPT version 3.5. OpenAI released many other versions of GPT before that. In fact, Open AI became really popular around the time of the GPT 2 which was a fairly good chat model. Also, the Transformer architecture was not cre

I love it when people post studies just because it agrees with their worldview. For full disclosure, I support the 4 day week but I know to be objective. None of those links contain references to proper RCT with control groups or a variety

> Autumn hasn't been replaced outside of America though not sure how is that relevant?
165.
by netdevnet 2y ago
It did in the states. Autumn is no longer a loan word (a loan word has little or no changes). The French word is quite different: automne. As You can see, it is missing 2 letters and the pronounciation is quite different.

by netdevnet 2y ago
If you want to go down the prescriptive path, a more correct word relative to "autumn" is "hærfest". Just like "fall" replaced "autumn", "autumn" replaced "hærfest".

> What makes LLMs difficult is getting access to all the hardware to train them, getting the data, and being able to preprocess that data. Yes, that's my opinion too. GAOs (Grassroots AI Organisations) are constrained by access to d

It was an exaggeration but most of pre-ML AI is just a set of fairly rigid and general rules. They mostly differ in the sense that rules are added by different means (human vs machine) or at different times (during the "training"

I would argue that most don't. If you ask most senior citizens or simply most users of computing devices to explain what they think about "background services", most won't know what you are talking about. Just because a
