I'm generally not providing subtle hints for places that would be beneficial for others to investigate. When I tweet about something, it might be a half-baked take, or it might be a conclusion from a more thorough investigation. I don't know what *you* should do.
remember big data?
The pizza principle: the more the constituents of a food resemble those of pizza, the better the food tastes.
Curious too
Has anyone had success stories (or can point me to writeups) with fine tuning frontier LLMs?
biologists continue to mistake single-cell technical sampling noise for meaningful cellular heterogeneity. the apparent sparsity of single-cell data is due largely to technical artifacts like transcript capture and sequencing depth--if there are hundreds of thousands of…

evopsych: hunter gatherers today depend on trade w industrialized societies. which implies our hunter gatherer ancestors did too. bc industrialization is recent, those trading partners must have been time travellers. placing humanity in a causality violating time loop. troubling
Toaster, microwave, cauldron all give nice results!
Is there any other emoji it gets equally confused about? I tried a few but couldn't find any.
there's half dozen studies with two digit sample sizes and mixed replications. The most cited study finds differences in preference for a pink pot, which it attributes to biology. No difference in preference for a stuffed toy, according to the study that is a gender neutral toy.
so far I assumed that the evopsych factoid "monkeys show the gendered toy preferences of children" was from a robust literature showing dymorphism in preferences for humanoid/animate toys being extrapolated by ignorant people. I decided to look up. I was so wrong. It's so bad.
I guess the big open question is whether it can be fine-tuned with e.g. robotics data to be more accurate.
This looks visually nice but seems too imprecise to be used as a world-model...

hot take: getting negatively polarized is deeply embarrassing, not a normal psychological phenomenon, and not something to be proud of. it is a midwit behavior that should be shamed out of any circle where people claim to care about seeking truth

If self-driving cars are more reliable than human-driven cars but stuck in regulatory hell, why isn't Elon Musk constantly complaining about that?
