>What's the reason for measuring the model size in context window length and not GB?

there are 2 different things.

The context window is how many tokens ii's context can contain, so on a big model you could put in the context a few books and articles and then start your questions, on a small context model you can start a conversation and after a short time it will start forgetting eh first prompts. Big context will use more memory and will cost on performance but imagine you could give it your entire code project and then you can ask it questions, so often I know there is some functions already there that does soemthing but I can't remember the name.
Training LLMs to cite the pretraining data
This paper is about making LLMs better at saying where they got their information from. Normally, LLMs learn a lot of stuff during their training but don’t remember where they learned it. The researchers are working on a way to fix that by teaching the models to cite their sources. This can make the models more transparent, easier to understand, and more reliable. To do this, they modify pretraining to teach the model to link bits of knowledge to specific pretraining documents. After pretraining, they teach the model how to cite these documents when generating answers.

I was raised Catholic but lost the belief quite young. Not to be an edgy atheist, but it was basically lost along with Santa. I probably spent a decade trying to believe, but to no avail. I think having a chronic pain condition from a young age probably makes it difficult to believe in any sort of loving force in the world, and then a few observations about the way people who say they follow these religions actually behave will often further disabuse one of that notion.

My family has always gone to museums, every trip is punctuated with the best local variety. What I have noticed are the advancements in modern curation, with an eye toward storytelling, greatly improve the context, understanding, and enjoyment of an exhibit. Seasoned museum-goers and subject matter experts may find some attempts overly simplistic, but if you are there for the pieces and have the context, the overall story may not matter as much.

Within contemporary art, there is an art to providing pieces together without telling a story which allows visitors to draw their connections to the pieces. The Louvre is the antithesis of this, as the collections are largely divided into respective dead-guy collections.

Am I understanding correctly? You look an English dataset, trained an LLM, machine translated the English dataset to e.g. Spanish, continued training the model, and performance for queries in English improved? That’s really interesting.
Tables aren't even deprecated. IMO you're better off keeping the tables than transforming it into <div> soup. 20 years ago you'd hear it shouted from the rooftops: "Tables for layout are not semantic!". Guess what? <div>s are never semantic. Just use tables if it suits you.

Yes, it appears to be the clear successful usecase for the technology, in a way that hasn't been replicated for other professions.

I remain very sceptical that a chat-like interface is the ideal form for LLMs, yet it seems very optimal for programming specifically, along with Copilot-like interfaces of just outputting text.
Yeah I'm EE and CompE background, and been in software for 20 years, it gets old with the 26yo "senior" dev interviewing you rolling his eyes like you are some big liar for not wizzing through his CS quiz questions (oh and for front end positions, lol).

Obviously you need more energy. It begins by getting enough sleep, so try to go to bed earlier. Cover all vitamins and minerals, then try other things that can boost your energy safely. Ensure good ventilation, both at home and in the office. Avoid air pollution as it can drain energy quickly. Once you fix your energy, you can then work on finding purpose, but don't quit your day job too easily if you don't want to lose your relationship.

> so why do you have 3 black workers and 50 white workers?

Because race has correlation with low-income communities that prevent people from going to colleges. The pool of competent black employees will just be smaller. I’d argue that’s a state problem, not for a company to solve.

It’s like a DEI recruiter wanted to have 50-50 men and women in software development at a company I worked for. I asked if there’re 50-50 of men and women in the total jobseeker pool. The answer was no(fewer women), but the person was determined to play a zero-sum game with other companies. It’s insane.
It seemed to me that you were downplaying this person's experience and were suggesting that they were possibly given other substances.

The articles I provided were to back my own statements that I made, not to refute yours, and I am not sure how that wasn't clear.

I am saying that there really isn't a large enough body of scientific evidence yet to conclude definitively that there are no possible mechanisms that could cause this effect, as you stated. Humans aren't uniform systems.

At least for me, your messages reads "I am depressed...I am depressed...I am despressed...Oh, but I'm not depressed...I am depressed..." etc. What do you imagine depression to be? Everything you're describing is depression. I suspect when you say "I'm not depressed" you mean you aren't sad, or you experience happiness regularly, or something. Which basically means you only have 90% of the possible symptoms of moderate depression, not 100%. Given that hardly anyone has 100% of the symptoms (well, maybe unless they're severely depressed), that doesn't exactly make you special.

But depression is just a label, it's not like accepting that label means there is a single known fix for it. Accepting it might at least remove your current obstacle to exploring certain options.

Talk to a doctor. Talk to a therapist. You might be one of the many people for whom a chemical treatment will help, or you might be one of the many people for whom something like cognitive behavioral therapy will help. There is unlikely to be a magic bullet, but there are many things to try. If you're able to detect an incremental change, you can focus in on that path. Right now you may be dulled out enough that you don't have the energy to detect what's working or do anything with it, so you should start with some professional help to lift you up enough that you can start doing the work to make forward progress.

Yes, I have been in a similar situation. I can't say I've "escaped". I think that was my expectation for a long time, that either you're stuck in the mud or you come up with a way to escape, but it's one of those things where lowering my expectations was necessary to making progress, and in retrospect I've made more progress that I would have initially thought possible. But I don't feel like I've escaped. It's still there, and it still drags me down periodically, but it's been a while now since my last long period of really wallowing in it.

Family can help. Friends can help. Work can help. Entertainment can help. But all of them can be a crutch, too, and just be a means to extend the status quo. You'll need to put work into each and every one of them specifically to make sure they're actually taking you in the right direction. It's a constant vigilance sort of thing, which might sound awful but at some point you'll look back and see that it's more than worth it.
What is it like? 50 years of historic cruft. Questionable whether there are more trip hazards than usefulness for ordinary coding. A fractured community which feels like there are more Prolog systems than Prolog code. Learning Prolog is less "how do I do things in Prolog" and more "how do I contort my things to avoid tripping over Prolog?".

A few dedicated clever people and idealists and dreamers talking about ontologies and building things I don't understand, e.g. the link in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40994780 that could either be genuinely "Prolog is suitable for things no other language is" or "Fusion is 10 years away" or "Perpetual motion is here and so is cold fusion!", I can't tell. But I suspect from the lack of visible activity out in the wider world, closer to the latter than the former. Or perhaps the people able to make use of its strengths are few and far between.

There's a saying about driving to a town which has been hollowed out and is now a road through some empty store fronts and car parks: "there's no there there". The soul of a place is missing, it's no longer a destination, just some buildings on some land. Prolog has the opposite of that, a main road straight past it, few buildings or people, but there is a there there - an attractor, spark of something interesting and fun. Buried in years of cruft. Might be a Siren's call though, a trap - but if it is it appears less dangerous than the LISP one.

It sounds like your material life is great! It doesn't sound like you are missing anything out here. But maybe things need to be rearranged in your heart? I agree with other commenters that it seems you are living a life according to a pattern (as you say, ticking the middle class boxes) but maybe with unclear purpose.

It is very normal to not like your job. Most people do not. They do it as a means to feed their families, build security for their future, or to buy amazing toys. Search yourself for the reasons you have your job. If you don't have any good ones, why do it? But if you are doing it for a reason, it is no prison, but a means to your desires. Once you find those reasons, stay connected to them. Journal them, meditate on them, remember them every day. Nietzsche wrote "He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how." This is how you build gratitude, and gratitude is how you sustain optimism.

I highly recommend therapy as a way to explore yourself and cultivate purpose. It has changed my life in similar circumstances. Other tools I have found very useful are exercise, meditation, good nutrition, and building relationships with others.

The feelings you are have are common and everyone feels this way sometimes. You are not lost, keep going.
Back in the '00s, referrals were a bonus if they were able to hire the person away from their current employer. I was a referral from a person who I regularly met at the Irish pub in Mountain View (the SGI / Netapp thirsty Thursday - one was on the decline while the other was on the way up). When the $1000 went through, a round of drinks was bought for the group.

Now it seems that referrals are a "You want a referral? Like me on Linked In and I'll put your name in."

Instead of a few high quality referrals over the course of a year it is dozens of people trying to skip the first filter a month.

I am *NOT* advocating this and think its the problem with why referral hiring isn't a thing - https://www.tryexponent.com/jobs/referrals

And with that - it's why a referral is no different than any other send an application in anymore.

How does HR separate the "I know this person and have worked with them before" from "this person messaged me on Linked In because I worked here"?
I had the opportunity to pet a cheetah last year, and I think that is one of those things that will stay with me for the rest of my life even if I never get another chance. The cheek rubs, the purrs, just like my cats would do. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Yes, I went straight to the cheetah page too. They're awesome! I never much thought about them until that day, but now it's a fascination.
> This is absolutely not true. The demand is manufactured. Car companies in the US are building bigger SUVs and trucks because they are classified different and have less strict emissions regulations.

My car sat on the lot for months before I bought it. There was plenty of inventory and Honda managed to sell something like 10-11k of them that year. There was no conspiracy here. People just didn't want a small car. People regularly make fun of me for driving such a small car.
None of this is universal.

You could consider the improvement in model performance a bit of a cheat - they beat other models "in the same size category" that have 30% fewer parameters.

I still welcome this approach. 7B seems like a dead end in terms of reasoning and generalization. They are annoyingly close to statistical parrots, a world away from the moderate reasoning you get in 70B models. Any use case where that's useful can increasingly be filled by even smaller models, so chasing slightly larger models to get a bit more "intelligence" might be the right move
I guess finance is not in need of a large language model?
The in-state cost of most of the UC's (University of California), including books and room and board, are hovering around $40K per year now. I could easily see someone racking up $100K+ in debt for four years. My kid has ~7 years to go before we have to swallow this, and I'm expecting that figure to be over $200K by the time she goes.

In C++ in particular... Yes. A lack of recent C++ experience is a real hindrance.

The spec is longer than double the King James Bible, and depending on what firm you're working with various parts of the language are either banned or best practice. These days I don't generally find that familiarity with any other language (including C++ from 10 years ago) translates well to fluency with modern C++.

Of course, I solve this problem by avoiding the language like the plague, because why do I want to write code in a language that I'm going to have to work that hard to find developers to extend and maintain?
> dynamic dispatch makes it harder for newcomers to figure out the business logic by reading the code

This is definitely a potential problem, but I note that you can also get into this mess without OO in any language that lets you put a (reference to) function in a variable. Or, god help you, operator overloading.
> left me with a giant question mark: why am I here?

I was quite obviously a wanted child, and I still feel this way; we are thrown into the world with no regard for our own preference (obviously it can be no other way). Clearly most people take to it with little problem, but I've never really felt like I belong. I've mostly made peace with that, but would not wish it on a child.
I'm stuck in a similar rut. And yes, I know there are people out there way worse off than me.

It's okay to be like that. Just take a small step towards something you'd like to achieve. It's okay if it doesn't work out, be proud that you've taken that small step. That's how many success stories actually started, from small steps combined with a huge amount of luck - but few will admit. And you might not succeed no matter how many times you do it - you should still be proud that you tried.

And remember - you only hear of success stories in social media.
> Language models definitely do generalize to some extend and they're not "stochastic parrots" as previously thought, but there are some weird ways in which we expect them to generalize but they don't.

Do you have any good sources that explain this? I was always thinking LLMs are indeed stochastic parrots, but language (that is the unified corpus of all languages in the training data) already inherently contains the „generalization“. So the intelligence is encoded in the language humans speak.
My PhD was done in a DECstation 3100. The physics lab was a VAX environment (everyone had VTxxx terminals in their desk) but someone had bought a 3100, not figured out how to use it, and it was sitting in a corner - normally switched off. I managed to persuade them I could put it to use when I joined the group, and about 6 months later everyone else in the group had Unix workstations too… we named them all after asterix characters, mine was getafix.
Heroic feels a bit strong, but overdue I would agree. It’s an area that’ll always exist and has been neglected by US industries outside of the company’s that are just government contractors (General Dynamic, Lockheed, etc) as the supply pool for these types of products is very small & not forcing innovations via competition as a result.
These big models are getting pumped out like crazy, that is the business of these companies. But basically, it feels like private/industry just figured out how to scale up a scalable process (deep learning), and it required not $M research grants but $BB "research grants"/funding, and the scaling laws seem to be fun to play with and tweak more interesting things out of these and find cool "emergent" behavior as billions of data points get correlated.

But pumping out models and putting artifacts on HuggingFace, is that a business? What are these models being used for? There is a new one at a decent clip.
I work in the field. The reason has not been mentioned yet.

It's because (for an unknown reason), having coding and software development in the training mix is really helpful at most other tasks. It improves everything to do with logical thinking by a large margin, and that seems to help with many other downstream tasks.

Even if you don't need the programming, you want it in the training mix to get that logical thinking, which is hard to get from other resources.

I don't know how much that is true for legal or financial resources.
