I really doubt it's that, as opposed to the maintenance cost of an extra flow to a boarding pass. Or perhaps just a perceived complexity/annoyance cost when something breaks in the desktop flow here and there. I'd think it&#x

I guess it may be because I've only had a US passport but have primarily taken Ryanair to fly between the UK (where I live) and elsewhere in Europe, which is potentially an edge case they don't care to handle well. I recently gain

That's kind of expected for a research intern -- internships are most commonly done within 1-2 years before graduation. But in any case, the fact that the first author is an intern is just the cherry on top for me -- my comment would b

As someone who used to write academic ML papers, it's funny to me that people are treating this academic style paper written by a few Apple researchers as Apple's official company-wide stance, especially given the first author was

Or just have the last data point include everything from the full 12 month period before (as the title "year on year" would suggest) and maybe even put it in the correct place on the x-axis (e.g. for today, Feb 12, 2025, about 11.

IME Netflix is a close 2nd best after Apple, which I don't think I can distinguish from a 4K BluRay. I've found that the quality depends on the platform a little -- for Netflix the native LG app seems to look best on my LG TV, whi

I like JAX but I'm not sure how an ML framework debate like "JAX vs PyTorch" is relevant to DeepSeek/PTX. The JAX API is at a similar level of abstraction to PyTorch [0]. Both are Python libraries and sit a few layers of

I did read that comment. I don't think that person is saying they were part of the study that OpenAI used to evaluate the models. They would probably know if they had gotten paid to evaluate LLM responses. But I'm glad you pointed

Yes, I am assuming they evaluated the models in good faith, understand how to design a basic user study, and therefore when they ran a study intended to compare the response quality between two different models, they showed the raters both

Erm, why not? A 0.56 result with n=1000 ratings is statistically significantly better than 0.5 with a p-value of 0.00001864, well beyond any standard statistical significance threshold I've ever heard of. I don't know how many rat

Isn't the "ban the Apple-Google iOS search deal" just one of several proposed remedies, with the most significant one being a Google breakup? Certainly seems like that one would affect Google more than Apple. Or am I confused

Yes, this is correct -- TikTok's own "shutdown" was never required by law. I'm not in the US so I can't check for myself, but from googling it still seems to be removed from both the Apple and Google stores. If Appl

You wouldn't need to use computer vision on a picture of the PDF. arXiv has the tex source for most of the papers. An LLM trained on code could do a pretty good job of translating tex to readable html with a bit of effort.

A-ha, thanks! Hadn't looked at or heard of the referenced paper, but yeah, sounds like it's almost certainly also 5-shot then. It would've been more consistent to call it e.g. "5-shot w/ CoT@32" in that case, b

by throwaway287391 3y ago
CoT@32 isn't "32-shot CoT"; it's CoT with 32 samples (or rollouts) from the model, and the answer is taken by consensus vote from those rollouts. It doesn't use any extra data, only extra compute. It's explaine
