Hi! I’m a product engineer on the Claude.ai team. Claude.ai does support branching conversations. If you hover on a message, there should be an edit button, and once you edit the message, you can again hover on it, which will show you left&

I don’t want to die today, and tomorrow I’m not going to want to die, and the day after I’m not going to want to die, and so on. Therefore, I want to live forever — proof by induction on the natural numbers.

If a model hasn't been explicitly told (via some system prompt or something) about its weights, it won't know them. It would be akin to asking you how many neurons you had. How would you know?

It seems to me that RAG is really search, and search is generally a hard problem without an easy one size fits all solution. E.g., as people push retrieval further and further in the context of LLM generation, they're going to go furth

I just got engaged. When we looked at rings, the jeweler asked my fiancé if she wanted natural or synthetic, and she responded “I don’t want a blood diamond!!” Of course, mined diamonds aren’t blood diamonds, but her impression was still th

A city on its own generally has the power to change zoning and land use laws. There are limitations (some states give cities more or less power here) but generally cities do have the ability to make changes that would reduce noise and impro

It's not that they're just charging per token -- the actual models are operating on a token level. The model sees things in terms of tokens, and in openai's case, these tokens are subword (pieces of words), not words themselv

This is not really true. The Chinchilla paper showed that a 4% difference in loss between Chinchilla and Gopher led Chinchilla to blow Gopher out of the water at most tasks, including 30x performance in physics. Empirically, LLMs have shown

^^ this. For instance, LLMs are really good at turning natural language into SQL. And if you know SQL, you can read it and make sure it looks good. But, it's much faster and easier than writing SQL by hand.

Do you know of any advice or guides on how to use the chatgpt api? It's unclear to me when things should be a system message, and if not, if they should be user or assistant messages. You say here that the simple message should be real

The other day, I was trying to build a web scraper, but I kept getting an error that the data wasn't utf-8 encoded. I gave chatgpt the error along with the first 10 bytes (e.g. b'\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x03') and

One tip to speed up how you're finding the closest matches -- openai's embedding vectors are normalized and all fall upon a sphere. So, the cosine similarity is equal to the dot product. Might speed things up a bit to use only the

I was also in STL when this happened. Had to drive 4 hours away to Evansville, IN in order to get a rental car. Just showed up here and they told me I was lucky to reserve it last night, they’re now turning away walk ups at the counter.

This makes sense. And the game sounds really interesting! What is it called? I may try it out.

I mean, I don't really disagree with you. For sure, most all services have in the history of society been mostly, if not entirely, consumed by the rich. For most of society, most everyone has been poor. If you could afford fancy stonew

Let's say there is a masseuse. They use their labor to give massages. They are also self employed, so they own their own business. If the cost of labor rises, the masseuse makes more money from giving massages, but this necessarily me

I think this makes sense with what I'm saying. Laborers get more of the profits of companies and in turn get wealthier. However, the costs of services in turn go up (due to rising cost of labor), so those laborers (society) cannot actu

There is a take that consistently comes up in discussions like this (and indeed is prominent several times on this post), which says "the problem isn't a shortage of workers, it's that employers don't want to pay workers

Other commenters arguing against you seem to be missing your point somewhat. I think right-sizing infrastructure to the community (and tax base) that supports it is a good and important idea. It took me awhile to realize the necessity of bu

This isn’t true. Science is ultimately the scientific method — make a hypothesis, test a change, observe the results, repeat. It’s an algorithm for learning and broadly gaining information about reality. It can equally be applied to things

How much of this is stable diffusion 2, and how much is something else? For instance, the text based masks, the syntax like AND and OR, the face up scaling — are these all part of stable diffusion 2 (and can be used via other stable diffusi

You can do both at the same time. If Impossible could actually succeed in making a meat alternative that tastes as good as meat, but is cheaper (e.g. because they don't have to waste a bunch of energy growing an entire animal), then th
