A big part of open source is about reciprocity: you taketh, you giveth. Do LLM companies give back to the community?
I kinda feel this way about variable names in physics. You could call the (x,y,z) components of the magnetic field (L,M,N), see [0]. There are so many people who call that utterly wrong, but really it's totally fine and…
I'm sure many researchers have English as a second language, and rely on LLM to fix their grammar and vocabulary.
How would this work for a personal blog? Would I need to be careful not to endorse or even talk about companies and products? And if I didn't have to, wouldn't that open the door for advertising masquerading as news or…
I've had the bad luck that my first prescription was quite wrong: incorrect axis for astigmatism, and incorrect spherical (I basically have only astigmatism, no spherical). So for years I was suffering through the days.…
> encode laws into some sort of machine code Don't need to encode it in some sort of machine code. Just need a git repo with the law so we can submit a PR to the CA assembly and get this fixed.
> There are countries running on 95%+ renewable electricity right now[1]. That list ignores that countries trade electricity. If, say, Germany produces a lot of electricity by renewables it can sell the excess to France…
Great article. I have two comments: 1. Procrastination seems to be a type of early stopping. I knew I had a good strategy in school! 2. Something that seems to be sorely missing in machine learning (I'm not a ML expert)…
Other purpose than being a psychological trick, what purpose could pointing out the lack of evidence at the time have? Instead they could have written something like "We found the problem in 2021 and promptly fixed it.…
If passenger rail increases, then goods rail must decrease and go onto trucks. Or, one could let goods rail go at night, but Germany is noise -sensitive, so that's unlikely to happen. In the long run building more…
Yes, exactly!
It's pretty obvious if you ignore the great leap backwards... I mean forward, coming down from ~40 births/1000 in the 1950s and 1960s to ~20 in the late 70s and after.

If you know German, there is an entire book written in this style, introducing a simplifying spelling and grammar each chapter [1]. It is called "fom winde ferfeelt", a pun on "Gone with the wind" turned into "Missed by…

You mean, the little ant on the floor? I barfed at 1-based indexing for about a week, but now it is as natural as anything. I would compare 0-based and 1-based indexing with whether you put semicolons at the end of each…
"our code is fast, flexible, and easily modifiable"
I believe they were collecting samples from nearby bat caves: build your lab where your specimens are?

Full surface including oceans. I actually got something like 6.6 * 10^17 per mm^2, but who's counting?
Perhaps in more human terms: On the surface of the Earth, there are 8.4 IPv4 addresses per km^2. Not counting the oceans, that would be 28 IPv4 addresses per km^2 land. IPv6 gives 10^17 addresses per mm^2 (yes, square…

So is there also a kind of "reverse broken window" fallacy, e.g., for housing, where not tearing down an old... excuse me... "historic" building prevents the creation of bigger and better things?
