  • They’re supposed to be good a transformation tasks. Language translation, create x in the style of y, replicate a pattern, etc. LLMs are outstandingly good at language transformer tasks.

    Using an llm as a fact generating chatbot is actually a misuse. But they were trained on such a large dataset and have such a large number of parameters (175 billion!?) that they passably perform in that role… which is, at its core, to fill in a call+response pattern in a conversation.

    At a fundamental level it will never ever generate factually correct answers 100% of the time. That it generates correct answers > 50% of the time is actually quite a marvel.



  • That guy is essential the head of the Republican party, which controls half of Congress and holds a majority of seats on the Supreme Court. When he says jump all of the other Republicans ask how high, while they all try to figure out ways to 1up each other to please him.

    So when he speaks, he indicates what he wants to happen which telegraphs actions of all of his sicophants. So if he says “torpedo the border bill” it gets canned. If he says IDGAF about NATO, you can be sure China and Russia see an opening they can exploit.



  • Agree no difference as an ingredient in some baked dish.

    But if you are eating the egg by itself or as the primary item, there is definitely a difference in taste. Not a revolutionary change your life difference, but still a difference.

    In my experience the difference is pretty small amongst the options in the grocery store, but fairly noticable for eggs I get from the farmers market.







  • The article “conveniently” omits the names of pilot states and the eligibility criteria, so I dug them up:

    The Direct File pilot is available to eligible taxpayers residing in Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.

    You may be eligible to join the pilot if you live in a pilot state and report these items on your 2023 federal tax return:

    Income

    • W-2 wage income
    • SSA-1099 Social Security and RRB -1099 railroad retirement income
    • 1099-G Unemployment compensation
    • 1099- INT Interest income of $1,500 or less

    Credits

    • Earned Income Tax Credit
    • Child Tax Credit
    • Credit for Other Dependents

    Deductions

    • Standard deduction
    • Student loan interest
    • Educator expenses

    The pilot is not an option for if you:

    • Have other types of income, such as gig economy or business income
    • Itemize deductions
    • Claim other credits like the Child and Dependent Care Credit, Saver’s Credit or the Premium Tax Credit
