a0zU··on The False Promise of Imitating Proprietary LLMs
They don't even use more methodological evaluations of fine-tuned LLMs, they use metrics that are specifically built to support a (false) contrarian conclusion in order to generate attention for their "paper."
a0zU··on The False Promise of Imitating Proprietary LLMs
>Grammatical error in the abstract.
a0zU··on Time to end the speed limit in US airspace?
Even disregarding the sonic boom, why would we even want mediocre civil pilots to have access to aircraft thag are necessarily more dangerous and more destructive in the event of a crash?
a0zU··on I argue that studying the history of philosophy is philosophically unhelpful
That's interesting, but there's actually this other philosopher who published a very similar idea sometime around ~1921? I can't remember his reasoning(something about the world being a collection of facts) but I've heard that his thesis actually entirely rejected continental philosophy on similar claims to your own and singlehandedly began the shift towards the analytic philosophy that you seem to be so partial to. I think his name sounded similar to Wittingstein?
a0zU··on Melting ice reveals two-million-year old peat
That is going to make some very expensive scotch.
a0zU··on Ryanair Condemns Hungarian Govt’s Idiotic ‘Excess Profits’ Tax
Can you qualify that?
a0zU··on Star Citizen is doing 'bedsheet deformation' physics now
It turns out the SC devs have spent this whole time solving every fundamental problem in physics to create perfect immersion.

a0zU··on The Interledger Protocol
How is this better than RTP?
a0zU··on The Network State in one sentence, one paragraph, and one page
Yeah but they still have a police force.
a0zU··on An introverts guide to increasing energy
Yes, well documented in psychology, a field whose professionals even acknowledge as a psuedoscience, if a useful one.

>Particularly stable people will sit around the median boundary.

Ok, so you're saying it is more than just a boolean then?

a0zU··on Workers in Portugal could see healthier work-life balance under new labour laws
Ok?
a0zU··on The FBI's internal guide for getting data from AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon
Source on that first claim?
a0zU··on The dark side of entrepreneurship
I mean I doubt anything in that article would come as a huge surprise to a nascent or prospective entrepreneur? It seems like most of article's point is just an anecdotally obfuscated version of, "Entrepreneurship takes time, effort, and has no gauruntees of success." A fairly obvious message I doubt anyone who has seriously considered starting a business hasn't realized.
a0zU··on Is Google too powerful? Sundar Pichai answers [video]
Yes:)
a0zU··on Is your son a computer hacker? (2001)
*Lunix
a0zU··on Efficiency Is the Enemy
This might be a bit pedantic but it seems that this article is arguing against business as a technique for ensuring increased efficiency, it isn't arguing against efficiency itself. This post's whole ethos is that slack creates higher efficiency due to an increased reaction time from workers.
a0zU··on Hockey goalies are too big now
The death of writing is a bullet-list of major points, put some effort in, maybe you'll become more interested in hockey after reading the article.
a0zU··on Mexico president slams social media censorship
Russian bots on Hacker News?
a0zU··on Why do most top performers have the highest count of commits and pull requests?
I mean I won't disagree with your first point but if you read the article you would know that the author very explicitly defines 'Top Performer.'
a0zU··on Repl.it Database
>Repl.it is already the best place to build your apps. no...
a0zU··on Luau: Augmenting Lua’s Syntax with Types
I've been programming games in Roblox for a while now and honestly once you get used to LUA the things that once appeared to be "horrors" are now just quirks that I've honestly gotten used to.
a0zU··on Show HN: Hacker News front page in the style of a print newspaper
Seeing this post in print newspaper style is a trip.
a0zU··on Amazon establishes new Counterfeit Crimes Unit
yup
a0zU··on Amazon establishes new Counterfeit Crimes Unit
I highly doubt that Amazon's 'counterfeit crimes unit' will be anything more than just an advertising stunt and a token to use in court if accused of not trying to stop counterfeits.
a0zU··on Advice to new managers: don't joke about firing people
Does... Does this really need to be said, it seems like a pretty obvious rule to me.
a0zU··on Trump threatens to 'close' down social media platforms
I mean by that logic you could say that China has free speech but anyone who speaks out against the government just has to 'face the consequences' of being put in prison.
a0zU··on People kept working, became healthier while on basic income: report
Absolutely, there are plenty of things to do other than consume and there are definetly people who would discover that they had a talent at writing poetry, but doing those things require effort that a significant minority would not be ready or willing to make, and consummation is incredibly appealing to those who aren't strong enough to put effort into anything else.
a0zU··on People kept working, became healthier while on basic income: report
I agree that we all have so much stuff that we don't need, but in such an incredibly consumerist society we can't really seperate what we want from what we need without a massive cultural revolution. On top of that our current capitalist society only works because people buy lots of things that they don't need.
a0zU··on People kept working, became healthier while on basic income: report
There are absolutely people who would contribute to society in other ways but there are also people who would not work, not contribute and, sit in their rooms all day not having the will to do anything but debate with strangers on internet forums(lol). In my opinion the problem with UBI is that it would take away the necessity for people to do something to survive and it would make a significant minority of the population miserable because they wouldn't have to do anything but consume.
