  • Not at all. The only similarity is that LLMs work with text, and the document formats can also represent text.

    Each format (E.g pdf, json, excel) has a defined standard, so all you have to do to change between each other is to map one format’s fields to the others. You don’t need (and won’t get good results) from having an LLM produce the new format from scratch.

    What he’s asking is the equivalent of asking if there’s an LLM made specifically for solving arithmetic problems. Why would you try to solve addition using an LLM?



  • Soviet Union General Secretary Joseph Stalin broke the Non-Intervention Agreement and League of Nations embargo by providing material assistance to the Republican forces, becoming their only source of major weapons.

    From August 1936 onward, over one ship per day arrived at Spain’s Mediterranean ports with Russian aid: munitions, rifles, machine guns, hand grenades, artillery, trucks, Soviet agents, technicians, instructors, and propagandists.



  • The math involved in LLMs is not complex for anyone that has passed undergrad Calc and Linear Algebra classes. If you know derivatives, the chain rule and some matrix basics you can figure them out with enough studying.

    The hard part about LLMs is not the math but the neural net architecture innovations they brought (eg self-attention)












  • I have a feeling it has less to do with a foundational nature of evil, and everything to do with a population being impoverished, oppressed, and forgotten.

    Instead of trusting your feelings and alluding that the Houthis launch missiles “because they’re forgotten”, you could list the actual reason they’ve given, which is enforcing a blockade against ships trading with Israel.

    Given that statement, I’m sure that the Houthis will stop their strikes when Israel stops their ongoing genocide. The US could have their shipping lanes back if they stop funding and arming a genocide and force a permanent ceasefire.



  • There really isn’t a complicated discussion to be had unless you needlessly complicate things. There’s a big difference between having, say, better monitor or headphones in terms of resolution or sound quality vs having a monitor or headphones that add extra features.

    It’s like saying that AR glasses that visualize a ball’s trajectory should be allowed in tennis or football because players can already invest in better rackets or shoes.

    The detection problem is not unsolvable. First, you can forbid people that are using that monitor from matchmaking. You can find your monitor’s model number using software so that would be trivial. For a more nuanced approach, you can examine players’ reaction times and ban people that got too good too fast.
