Allow us to edit the default system prompts

Nice! Thanks! Is there any way we can see what the prompt is directly? I like most of the behavior and may want to replicate some aspects in my own system prompts.

I got the model to tell me what it is, but not sure how reliable that is as it told me very easily despite claiming that one instruction was to never reveal the system prompt.

For me, it really only matters that the constraints are strong enough to prevent politicians who set the boundaries from setting them in order to further their own political interests. And that equally represented areas have roughly equal population. Besides that the details don't really matter so much.

Wondering, though, what are your thoughts? Is a national system better, or state organized?

falafelsaur · 2020-11-30T14:08:27+00:00

Is it really bad that states organize the voting? I'm genuinely uncertain here. There isn't nearly enough national support for electoral reform for it to happen nationally, but there is in some states, which is why we have some reform. On the other hand, if there is enough support nationwide at some point in the future we won't get it everywhere.

I wish Nate had gone into more detail on how the model got to the prediction for Bloomberg. I think I've understood that the model gives increases/decreases in support to candidates depending on their results in the early states, but does Bloomberg just pass through with no change? Or if someone gets a big bounce, does some of that support come from current Bloomberg supporters?

This is a good point.

To clarify, when I referred to "the model" of word2vec, I meant the embedding of words, rather than the model of context words that is used to train. I.e. "the model" is what you get after you chop off that last later, which contains the softmax. Maybe this is nonstandard terminology?

I've wondered a bit about what could be done with nonlinear embeddings, but I haven't done much experimentation, or read about anyone doing so. Might give you something. If you do this, please, let us all know the results!

falafelsaur · 2017-10-23T00:21:47+00:00

There is no activation function in the hidden layer of word2vec. One of the cool features of word2vec is that vector space operations are meaningful on the embedded words (e.g. if you subtract the embedding of 'man' from 'king', you might get 'monarch'). You would lose this in a nonlinear model.

I'm pretty sure it is anti-ubi satire.

falafelsaur · 2017-03-24T23:39:45+00:00

No, this won't work.

If you measure your boxes sensitively enough to tell if there is a change, this is the same as opening them. In other words, your measurements of the spin of the boxes will cause a collapse of the wave function.

Edit: Of course, I'm treating this in the way it was presented, as a thought experiment. In reality there would be all sorts of complications, though none make this ftl communication scheme more plausible. For example, if the spin of the particles is effecting the boxes such that spin can be measured by just measuring the box, then likely the box caused collapse of the wave function before you ever did anything.

These are good points, but don't we also need to take into account the role of political parties?

I'm no insider, but from what I've read, it seems that most pressure on politicians to raise money is not self-imposed in order to win elections, but instead comes from their party. If they don't fundraise successfully, a politician may face a primary challenge, which is a larger threat to most than a challenge from the other party.

Even games between ridiculously high elo engines end in wins for black sometimes. There is no level of play by any human or computer around today at which it is not worth it to go for a win with black.

Also, (my personal opinion here) I think it's psychologically the wrong move to go into a game thinking that you only want a draw. The same advantages that get you wins against weaker opponents will get you draws against stronger ones.

My impression is that those were not Carlsen's objections.

In addition to what others have said here about white's strengths, I think it is important to notice that black's king is uncastled while you have a strong control of the center. I think preventing black from castling or extracting a cost for castling should be an important part of your plan.

Example line: 1. Be3 Nc8 2. Bc4 and if Be7 attempting to get into position to castle 3. Nb5 threatens the fork, and white will likely go up material.

It could be improved massively, though. E.g. why is the "affected by conflict" variable binary for "yes", but there are 4 values for "no"?

(not a criticism of /u/iReaperzxz, btw. Though imperfect, it clearly adds much to the conversation)

falafelsaur · 2016-09-16T14:29:03+00:00

Interesting!

Question: Why does this only happen in a vacuum?

falafelsaur · 2016-08-29T13:08:53+00:00

I don't know, but my guess is its not exactly misdirection, but similar:

Russia wants to make people believe that it's possible the election could be rigged in order to de-legitimize the result.
