Just updated our AI evals FAQ with 5 new questions, 48 questions & answers total! New FAQs just added: - Do I need a reference answer or rubric before annotating data? - How can I do evals when traces contain sensitive data? - How do you review a trace that is really large? - How much context should I give a LLM judge? - What should I do when my “gold” eval dataset becomes stale? It's all here: hamel.dev

I spoke too soon! Got about a dozen emails from bots trying to collect rewards from my bug bounty since yesterday. 4 were legitimate errors though very minor, relating to my vaccine discovery dataset. Quoting @scientificdiscovery.dev I'm having a similar experience, although have only received a few emails like this so far. Some are so stingy about tokens that they don't start trying to check the work unless I confirm it's eligible for a reward. Related

But a large portion of the gaming market by revenue doesn't really care what the game looked like all that much uh in a sense that whatever we're doing today is good enough. So 10 years from now if the games look much better for some reason no one will really think of that as a huge differentiation differentiator in terms of sales.

"major portion of missing link has collapsed" NO. Boulders and debris have broken/damaged a retaining wall on top of the tunnel, much of it has fallen on the road below. But to frame it like the quoted text is just intentional fearmongering. Quoting @ss_suryawanshi The landslide at newly constructed missing link at Mumbai — Pune highway. The major portion of missing link has collapsed at entrance that caused traffic disruption at Mumbai to Pune highway. State govt authorities clearing the debris & fixing problem. @NewIndianXpress Related

Um so I almost feel like because the internet is so terrible, we actually have to sort of like build really big models to compress all that. Uh most of that compression is memory work instead of like cognitive work. But what we really want is the cognitive part actually delete the memory

Help me out, lazymastodon: Kinda random: if I wanted to get a dataset of growth rates of [a sizeable subset of] "tech companies" going all the way back to, like the '50s or '60s does anyone know have idea offhand where I might find such a thing or go about assembling such a thing?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
