low_tech_punk··on Falcon 40B LLM (which beats Llama) now Apache 2.0
Hypothetically speaking, if Falcon 40B could out-perform GPT-3.5, would that force OpenAI to open-source GPT-3.5?

maybe the comment was about safety related training leading to performance loss. Sebastien used the "Unicorn benchmark" to visualize such nerfing. Watch his talk at timestamp 26:22. Ref: https://youtu.be/qbIk7-JPB2c?t=1582

"High-tech, low-life" would be the hallmark of Cyberpunk. The "low-life" part might require some extra work by OpenAI.

When will such goodness come to JavaScript engines? I’m curious if there is some fundamental design flaws that made JavaScript difficult to optimize.
low_tech_punk··on Windows 11 in Svelte
Have you tried opening https://win11-svelte.vercel.app/ inside the edge browser inside the app? I think the recursion taps out after the second layer.

With the Blizzard acquisition blocked by the UK, this naming convention might give the corporate legal team some new headaches.

I think Tauri bypassed the a11y challenge by delegating rendering to platform native web engines.

I have my popcorn ready for the battle of WebGPU toolkit implementation. That can be a true differentiator between Rust and other languages.

In a dreamland, all papers are digitized; everyone can use inline hyperlinks as citation; and all URLs are archived for stable public access.
low_tech_punk··on GitHub is aggressively caching raw.github, breaking many use cases
You mean aggressive cache eviction/invalidation? I think they might be taking about aggressive caching. Subtle difference in words.
low_tech_punk··on Theory of Mind May Have Spontaneously Emerged in Large Language Models
May I play devil's advocate? The fallacy of this paper granted, is it worth questioning our belief that there is more to intelligence than the "appearance of intelligence"?

What if the lack of hallucination in human being is due to our self-imposed guard (hello, frontal cortex) that is developed via an evolutionary process (aka, biological reinforcement training)?

To stretch the argument a bit further, what if hallucination is a feature, not a bug? At the risk of straying too far empirical science, how might we compare psychedelics-induced hallucinations in human with hallucinations in AI models?

low_tech_punk··on Theory of Mind May Have Spontaneously Emerged in Large Language Models
> What this article is not showing (but either irresponsibly or naively suggests) is that the LLM knows what a bag is, what a person is, what popcorn and chocolate are, and can then put itself in the shoes of someone experiencing this situation...

Does a human truly know? Feels like a slippery slope to the qualia question where we can't agree on what it means for the human to feel a human experience.

low_tech_punk··on Microsoft announces new Bing and Edge browser powered by upgraded ChatGPT AI
Did anyone try the "Fast Access" sign up? I did all the tasks on the list and the page remained the same. I think it's a scam to get more user sign-ups for Bing. At the minimum, the page should indicate your updated status on whether or not you are on the "faster" track.

Interesting they chose Bing over Cortana.
low_tech_punk··on Big data is dead
Long live Big Model, I guess? Instead of independent data warehouses, we are now moving towards a few centralized companies using supercomputer in physical data centers. The "winner takes all" effect will only increase as the trend goes on.
low_tech_punk··on Stable Attribution
I wish there is similar tool for the text-based generative models such as GTP-3.
