XOR cleartext once with a key you get ciphertext. XOR the ciphertext with the same key you get the original cleartext. At its core this is the way the old DES cipher works.

A bit of useful trivia: If you XOR any number with itself, you get all zeros. You can see this in practice when an assembly programmer XOR’s a register with itself to clear it out.

It’s the only way to prevent the Goobacks from taking our jobs!!!

Maybe you’re right. Maybe it’s Markov chains all the way down.

The only way I can think to test this would be to “poison” the training data with faulty arithmetic to see if it is just recalling precedent or actually implementing an algorithm.

This reminds me of learning a shortcut in math class but also knowing that the lesson didn’t cover that particular method. So, I use the shortcut to get the answer on a multiple choice question, but I use method from the lesson when asked to show my work. (e.g. Pascal’s Pyramid vs Binomial Expansion).

It might not seem like a shortcut for us, but something about this LLM’s training makes it easier to use heuristics. That’s actually a pretty big deal for a machine to choose fuzzy logic over algorithms when it knows that the teacher wants it to use the algorithm.

Yeah, but this reminds me of a line from game of thrones:

“If you’re a famous smuggler, you’re doing it wrong.”

The sample size was

Note that you wouldn’t need 77 kg worth of bouyancy from the balloon. The shoes would provide some lift, more if you made them out of some type of foam.

The worst was on stumbleupon when I would click “stumble” twice and see the most interesting page ever just to have it replaced with the next stumble. Then if you try to go back, it stumbles again… truly gone forever.

Yeah just like thousands of civil servants are “embarrased” of losing their jobs. Just like judges are “embarrased” that the executive branch is ignoring their rulings. Just like millions of Ukrainians are “embarrased” of losing their home. Get over your fucking self… we are at war.

Wait til you hear about radio astronomy:

The brightest discrete radio source is the Sun (Figure 1.10), but the Sun is much less dominant than it is in visible light. The radio sky is dark even when the Sun is up because atmospheric molecules and dust particles don’t scatter radio waves whose wavelengths are much larger than these particles. Most radio observations can be made day or night. Clouds are also nearly transparent at wavelengths λ>2λ>2 cm, so long-wavelength radio observations can be made even when the sky is overcast.

It’s like… this cloud

Lol, no, it wouldn’t.

Modder documentaries?
