The cure to to saying stupid things is death, too. Funny, that.

In fact, the only thing that can't be cured by death is dying.

There are bindings in java and c++, but python is the industry standard for AI. The libraries for machine learning are actually written in c++, but use python language bindings. Python doesn't tend to slow things down since machine learning is gpu-bound anyway. There are also library specific programming languages which urges the user to make pythonic code that can be compiled into c++.

I completely agree that it's a stupid way of doing things, but it is how openai reduced the vocab size of gpt-2 & gpt-3. As far as I know–I have only read the comments in the source code– the conversion is done as a preprocessing step. Here's the code to gpt-2: https://github.com/openai/gpt-2/blob/master/src/encoder.py I did apparently make a mistake, as the vocab reduction is done through a lut instead of a simple mod.

Can't find the exact source–I'm on mobile right now–but the code for the gpt-2 encoder uses a utf-8 to unicode look up table to shrink the vocab size. https://github.com/openai/gpt-2/blob/master/src/encoder.py

This might be happening because of the 'elegant' (incredibly hacky) way openai encodes multiple languages into their models. Instead of using all character sets, they use a modulo operator on each character, to make all Unicode characters represented by a small range of values. On the back end, it somehow detects which language is being spoken, and uses that character set for the response. Seeing as the last line seems to be the same mathematical expression as what you asked, my guess is that your equation just happened to perfectly match some sentence that would make sense in the weird language.

I don't know about that guy, but I used to have a speech impediment that meant I couldn't pronounce the letter R. I went to several speech therapists, so I started to annunciate every other letter, but that made people think I had a British accent. Anyway, I eventually learned how to say R, so now I have a speech impediment that makes me sound like a British person doing a fake American accent.

Yeah, mine. EYYYYOOOOO! (I may or may not have ED)

Oh, so the goal is to get the certain doom?

"An anaconda that is sprung?" What does that mean?

Am I the only one who finds these comics smug?

At first, I thought you were referencing the Old testament.

The tweet is referring to saying "The [group] are xyz" instead of saying "[group] people are xyz"

Usually you can scrape off the solder mask to expose the copper layer, then use a bodge wire to connect the trace to the connector.

If C++/C were real languages for real programming they'd enforce unreadability in the compiler.

No sane language designer would say "It is imperative that you write the most unreadable code possible" then write a compiler that says "oh your code doesn't triple dereference pointers? lol lmao that rocks"

They have played you all for fools.

I think one could argue that fantasy isn't based on the reality of the medieval ages, but on the collective beliefs and myths of that era.

As a side effect, though, the countryside would probably be filled with giant snails that you'd have to fight.

Rust is the WORST programming "language."

1. it is against the natural order for a PROGRAM to tell the PROGRAMMER how to fix an error. Fixes should ONLY come from PROPHETIC DREAMS.
2. obfuscation should be done for FUN by PROGRAMMERS to SCARE python programmers. It should NOT be a MANDATORY feature of a language.
3. Memory leaks are a GIFT given to us by GOD. Programmers will ALWAYS PRAY TO GOD for SOLUTIONS as long as there are MEMORY LEAKS.

I often have to catch myself from assuming people I see toe-walking are autistic. I went to physical therapy as a teen (ironically, I went for heel-walking) and so many kids there just came because they toe-walked.

Yeah. If you interpret the Bible in a much more metaphorical way, it has a lot more internal consistency than the literal interpretation. Like demons don't make sense literally. If a demon/devil compels you to do something bad, it's not your fault if you do it. Instead, if demons are more like temptations, it makes perfect sense; you can be blamed for your lack of willpower / desire to do evil.

It wraps everything up so nicely, I am surprised that it isn't more common.

This is such a a good visual gag.
