So what would be the reasonable stance in your opinion?

No, this doesn't work for me. I imagine myself standing in the middle of the road where the camera would be. If I look left and right and see these two cars, it means they're going in the same direction.

Make them bid for their place on the queue!

lowest charisma

What? This guy has one of the strongest cult followings of any human being I've ever heard of. How is that low charisma?

It has nothing to do with the meaning. If your training set consists of a bunch of strings consisting of A's and B's together and another subset consisting of C's and D's together (i.e. [AB]+ and [CD]+ in regex) and the LLM outputs "ABBABBBDA", then that's statistically unlikely because D's don't appear with A's and B's. I have no idea what the meaning of these sequences are, nor do I need to know to see that it's statistically unlikely.

In the context of language and LLMs, "statistically likely" roughly means that some human somewhere out there is more likely to have written this than the alternatives because that's where the training data comes from. The LLM doesn't need to understand the meaning. It just needs to be able to compute probabilities, and the probability of this excerpt should be low because the probability that a human would've written this is low.

I don't think we would've had so many lessons on this in school if it didn't need to be taught.

Have people just completely forgot how search engines work? If you search for two things and get shit results, it means those two things don't appear together.

A sentence saying she had her ovaries removed and that she is fertile don't statistically belong together, so you're not even getting that.

Productivity is how fast I'm moving towards my goal. Its end goal is to reach my goal.

About three times per day during the work day makes for ~800 times per year. Seems to be on the right order of magnitude to me.

Easy enough to write. But reading and maintaining? That's the hard part.

I find it amazing how little space corn syrup takes up relative to how much is produced. It's no wonder we use it in everything.

It's the only time where it's relevant to the conversation, no? Why would you bring it up anywhere else?

Milk first makes it possible to get the wrong ratio of cereal to milk because

1. the cereal floats and you have no idea how much you put in there
2. You can underestimate how much volume the cereal takes up and not leave enough room in your bowl

Ah, the age-old unpopularopinions dilemma. Do I upvote because I agree, or upvote because it is unpopular and I disagree?

The community I'm currently subscribed to for this: !hackernews@lemmy.bestiver.se

I like the one(s) that bring(s) in posts from Hacker News since they have a high likelihood of being interesting, and I like seeing what the people of Lemmy think of them. Other than that, I don't think I've seen any others that add value to my Lemmy experience.

The person you borrow from gets a small guaranteed win because you get paid a small amount for the privilege of borrowing their shares. The one who loses is whoever bought the shares at the higher price. That can be the person borrowing the shares, or it can be another person interacting with the stock market at the other end of your transaction.

I'm assuming you're talking about the US leadership? Eminem has been putting out music critical of every (2) Republican president since getting big.

I don't think the question should be whether or not it's needed, but rather whether it'll make things easier and encourage more people to make the switch.
