- mlmonkeyI use Chrome and have 1500 tabs on my MacBook Pro. I'm a packrat.
- Mozilla gets what, a billion dollars a year from Google to be the default search engine for Firefox? What do they need more money for?
- You are describing Searle's "Chinese Room argument"[1] to some extent.
It's been discussed a lot recently, but anyone who has interacted with LLMs at a deeper level will tell you that there is something there; not sure if you'd call it "intelligence" or what. There is plenty of evidence to the contrary too. I guess this is a long-winded way of saying "we don't really know what's going on"...
- Unlike the rest of us who age 12 months every year ...
- It's funny how they don't compare themselves to Gemini and Claude anymore.
- Ask Gemini to summarize it? Or maybe NotebookLM to turn it into a 10-minute podcast? :-)
- "Given that we've only scanned 300 out of 20,000 submissions"
Fuck! 20,000!!
- But Grok is internally training on Tweets etc. continuously.
- > We were cautious to only run after each model’s training cutoff dates for the LLM models
Grok is constantly training and/or it has access to websearch internally.
You cannot backtest LLMs. You can only "live" test them going forward.
- Not a single mention of any benchmarks or performance.
- The beatings will continue until morale^H^H^H^H^H^H chatGPT improves...
- These are just excuses to convince yourself that what the US is doing is "not bad" but what India is doing is "terrible".
Both are doing similar things. You have no idea what the US is doing; I have some inkling, and it is terrible.
At least India is publicly disclosing what this app does, and that the phone has this app. Do you have any idea what the US does?
Hint: that big data center in Utah, what is it for?
Another hint: the US has given many billions of dollars to US telecom companies under the guise of "rural broadband" and "rural cell service". Has the state of rural service really changed much in the last 30 years?? Why has all that money been given, then?
- IMEI is already tied to your identity. You need ID to buy a phone or a SIM.
- Have you been to Kensington in Philly?
- Zohran reminds me so much of the former District Attorney of San Francisco, Chesa Boudin. Chesa also had pedigree like Zohran does (in his case, both parents in prison for terrorism charges, raised by lefties).
Inevitably, people saw through the virtue signalling and ended up recalling him. I voted for him initially because he sounded good on paper ("a DA with a heart") but when it actually came to running the office, he was a disaster.
Case in point: SF is overrun with Honduran drug dealers. But Chesa was convinced that they are all victims of human trafficking and refused to enforce the laws against them! His office would either not file charges against them, or just let them walk with a slap on the wrist. Naturally, in the Hondo drug dealer circles it was a well known fact that if you ever get picked up in SF, claim that you were trafficked there and/or that you are underage.
After a couple of years people had had enough of this circue, and decided to recall him. I voted to recall him at the first chance I got.
- Edit: I didn't mean any offense. I just didn't know what it meant!
- WTF is "Procreative Management" ?
- I once got a hummingbird feeder, and on the day 2, the raccoons in the neighborhood discovered it. Let's just say it was a big party with the feeder knocked down and emptied.
- So IIUC RL is applicable only when the outcome is not immediately available.
Let's say I do have a problem in that setting; say the chess problem, where I have a chess board with the positions of chess pieces and some features like turn number, my color, time left on the clock, etc. are available.
Would I train a DNN with these features? Are there some libraries where I can try out some toy problems?
I guess coming from a classical ML background I am quite clueless about RL but want to learn more. I tried reading the Sutton and Barto book, but got lost in the terminology. I'm a more hands-on person.
- I've been reading such posts for years. Every few months, "Voyager 1 is the most distant man-made object ever!" or "Voyager 1 about to leave the Solar System!"
Well duh!
