Dedekind Slut

A Democratic was in office when Yick Wo was decided, so clearly distinguishable

Somebody posted a screenshot from Claude and it does this without further prompting

Hey, this answers a question I thought of earlier today: there’s probably a category of uses where creating the tokenizer is the hard problem, right? And lo

The fact that it broke it down like that makes me think Anthropic specifically included training data to address this problem lol

I asked an AI knower about it if you’re curious

Fact Check: FALSE, immigration is a civil matter

(Sorry, that Wapo guy is retiring and I’m trying my hand at being a pedantic dipshit. Time to get paid after a lifetime of doing it for free.)

The juice for PE is to really ride the line between “useless” and “defectively designed”. This use case presents closer calls than most I think.

Tripod? 👀

Ok literal lmao

This is actually kinda fun. I guess I would write in @bradlander.bsky.social ?

This poll is going hard on the scourge of rent-stabilized tenants who own second homes, a thing that doesn’t happen (it’s always somebody’s mom who’s on the deed for credit reasons).

So I guess look out for that in the coming weeks

this poll, asking follow up questions that start including things like “are you SURE”

>“Do you support the following policies enacted in 2019?”
>lists policies that don’t exist under HSTPA of 2019

lol, just got an incredible push poll on NYC rent regulation. Very interesting to see how REBNY or whoever frames the policies to get the answers they want, versus how those policies actually work

Do tell

Thank you to whoever at @bsky.app finally made it so that the back-to-top button on desktop UI now lines up with the pfps. I see you and appreciate you

Just get into bodybuilding bro, it's not hard. (I mean it actually is hard, which informs the analysis here.)

Me, staring at your display name instead of your chest, trying to work out the pun: 😐 🤔

...posts about LLMs not knowing how many b's are in blueberry. This is how the singularity comes, I'm pretty sure

Thank you! This is very helpful. The embedding layers contain a LOT less information than I was thinking they do. Which also explains why attention is so important for the juice.

A token is a morpheme, which you embed into a VS. The ML pumps out a metric/dot product from corpus. I assume that can be iterated, as long as you have more vectors than tokens? # of parameters = dimension? I'm trying to understand training before runtime, but they seem similar in important ways.

@segyges.bsky.social Hey, why are LLM chatbots so bad at counting letters in words? Because it's a fact that's not implied by the lexical relationships in the underlying training corpus?

A complete theory of quantum gravity requires a non-interacting "b_3" term in the word "blueberry" in order to be self-consistent.

I waver on that, as a recovering Baggy Clothes Guy, because swimming in your clothes can feel protective if you dislike your shape. Tailoring would actually help, but I could see a bad mindset formed early that just sticks. I wonder what he was like in his 20s/30s, but not enough to investigate.

I don't know—I know a fair number of feminine guys and I would not classify Donald Trump among them.

Also I am incandescent with fury that I feel the need to psychologize this man, but elections have consequences (and they have been a disaster for the human race).

He is somehow obsessed with his physical appearance to an overweening degree (many such cases), but refuses anything that would demonstrate effort in maintaining it, with my sense being that he would find it unbecoming to care. Thus, spray tan and a wig in place of, like, skincare and exercise.

Hmmm. I wouldn't say "feminine," rather "effete"
