"That's not my lane"

Found it, link goes directly to him talking about it youtu.be/9S6l_RZwuxM?...

Marty himself even mentioned in a conference talk a few months ago that developers were deploying from their laptops.

I completely forgot ABEC-9 existed. Last time I changed the bearings in anything was over 20 years ago. ABEC-7 was the best I could find and it seemed like I could roll for daaaays. ABEC-9 must feel frictionless in comparison.

The randomness means it's stochastic. The fact that it's regurgitating patterns from its training dataset means it's parroting.

Nobody's attacking them by calling them stochastic parrots. It's quite literally how they work.

They generate numbers based on statistical probability inferred from the training. The `top_p` parameter in the transformers framework sets the probability threshold. Framework chooses randomly from the numbers with the highest probability up to that threshold. Those numbers map to string tokens.

wait, so they took the coca *and* the cola out of coca-cola?

Crimean war: Lord Cardigan purchased his rank (not General like the other two examples, but Lieutenant Colonel like these tech execs are getting) and lost ~40% of his force in the first 20 minutes of one assault.

WWI: Douglas Haig (UK) launched futile assaults against his advisors' counsel, leading to tens of thousands dead and hundreds of thousands of casualties.

lol I forgot about Dukakis, tbh. But no, actual casualties caused by wealthy elites:

US civil war: a *different* Massachusetts politician, Benjamin Butler, was a Major General with no experience. Lost multiple battles against smaller Confederate forces.

This is actually really funny to me. Before podcasts, I wanted to build an "internet talk radio" platform. Only reason I didn't was because web multimedia was nightmare tech back then.

I would love to chat about this in a longer-form space if you're up for it?

Haven't explored it, but something I've been wanting was basically embeddings of code. In order to be effective, though, I imagine that that requires embedding models trained specifically on code. An embedding model for natural language doesn't seem like it'd be as effective.

When I was in the army, our running cadence was 180 steps per minute. My lungs *hated* it.

Me with my 1 cup of coffee for the day

I hear you so much on this. "Put your best practices away" is something I say a lot when talking about coding for fun or exploration.
