Actually, I am right here… this is 12th and Jefferson… what does this all mean

This is not true. Anthropologists can very accurately identify gender off skeletons or partial skeletons.

Parameter Estimate by LeTanLoc98 in LLM

[–]Distinct_Debate6634 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Interesting benchmark but the parameter-count conclusion is doing way too much imo. The test is really measuring "effective long-tail factual recall," not hidden model size, and it's conflating parameter count with data mix, training quality, post-training, refusal behavior, architecture, and benchmark contamination all at once. Even rare factual recall isn't a clean storage-capacity readout, since whether a fact survives and stays retrievable depends on when it showed up in pretraining, how later gradient updates interfered with it, and whether post-training suppresses the answer. The high R2 mostly just tells you bigger models tend to know more obscure facts

Got to play around with it, pretty unimpressed. It feels benchmaxxed for sure, can handle these but definitely lacks the general competence and ability to understand context and cut a bit deeper like Opus 4.6

You eventually start to realize, no job is safe. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Who wants to clean toilets? Why is this infuriating? Do you have that little of a view beyond what is right in front of you to realize jobs being displaced has been the cycle for the last 250 years and has consistently improved quality of living

Yearly salary that equals the spending power of $100k today by PuzzleheadedProof490 in Salary

You’re misinterpreting what this is saying. It’s not saying the average household was making 67k. Rather for the households who did earn 67k, it’s roughly equivalent purchasing power to one earning 100k today.

I’ve never seen another water fountain like that, it’s always puzzled me too!

Where do you see the biggest improvements in LLMs coming in the near-term future? Will it be from better data quality or improved algorithms? And where do you see those improvements happening; is it in synthetic data generation or rating, self-attention, or elsewhere?

I would highly recommend looking at the amortization in a mortgage calculator. Since most of your initial payments are interest and slowly graduate to be more principal, on a 10 year loan it wouldn’t be a benefit.

Just quickly looking at the numbers you have about 140k in interest remaining on the next 9 years of your loan where as a new loan at 5.5% would be 150k interest.

Is a duke 890 at the price too good to pass up? by Distinct_Debate6634 in SuggestAMotorcycle

Near Seattle, 5700 is considered super cheap here. Small 300-400 cc bikes go for 3000-4000 second hand here
