No I first was and then I wasn’t when I saw that paper and all the congrats in the replies . (How do we expect LLMs to ever solve text comprehension)

Congratulations on Real XAI Research Work

Haha I am just realizing that you are working on real XAI, not xAI)! In that case, real non-sarcastic congrats!! We need more of this!

KNN Classification Works Through Majority Vote Among Neighbors
By
–
Yes, I assume this should work because the compute the label based on majority vote among the nearest neighbors.

Nearest-Neighbor Approach on Normalized Bag-of-Words Vectors
By
–
Thinking about this a bit more, I think nearest-neighbor on normalized bag-of-words vectors would probably also perform well here. Because the count vectors of two similar documents are similar just like the compressed + concatenated compressed docs are similar.

Compression of Concatenated Identical Texts Size Analysis
By
–
Yeah, I think if two identical texts are concatenated, the size of the compressed concatenated file should match the size of the unconcatenated files right?

Gzip and kNN Outperform Transformers for Text Classification
By
–
Gzip + kNN beats transformers on text classification. (Gzip as in good old zip file compression)

Sarcastic critique of AI alignment solution timeline claims
By
–
Congrats! You should join forces with the other company who just announced that they will solve AI alignment in <4 years. So you can both work on “solving the universe” once your are done with these more near-term projects.

Self-Supervised Learning for LLM Pretraining and Evaluation Methods
By
–
We use self-supervised learning to pretrain LLMs (e.g., next-word prediction). Here's an interesting take using self-supervised learning for evaluating LLMs: https://
arxiv.org/abs//2306.13651
Turns out, there's correlation between self-supervised evaluations & human evaluations. -
Miniforge: The Go-To Package Manager for M1 Mac Python

Yes, same! When I upgraded to an M1 mac a few years back, miniforge was the only one supporting Python for Apple Silicon , and I've been using it ever since!

LLMs as Coding Companions: Automating Low-Level Tasks with Human Guidance
By
–
Yeah, I think LLMs will automate most of the low-level programming tasks. They will get you +90% of the way there. But I still see it more as a coding companion that needs human interaction and guidance.
