What do you think about Grok 4.5 in comparison to Muse Spark 1.1?

And even before this work, there was "PAL: Program-aided Language Models" (https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.10435, https://reasonwithpal.com/).
Afaik PaLM (Google's OG big models) tried this trick, but it didn't work for them. I think it's because PaL used descriptive inline comments + meaningful variable names. Compare the following:
```python
# calculate the remaining apples
apples_left = apples_bought - apples_eaten
```
vs.
```python
x = y - z
```
We have ablations in https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.10435 showing that both are indeed useful (see "Crafting prompts for PAL").

You can do this at grok.com.
There is a "start thread" option below every conversation. You can also read the responses aloud (helpful if you want to do something async).
Re:BERT Is Just a Single Text Diffusion Step

Yeah, that's the first formal reference I remember as well (although, BERT is probably the first thing NLP folks will think of after reading about diffusion).
I collected a few other text-diffusion early references here about 3 years ago: https://github.com/madaan/minimal-text-diffusion?tab=readme-....

Although, it seems it's only going to cover the first book (which makes sense, given how difficult the other two would be to film). The real magic for me was in book 3. It was inspiring to see someone think so far out, so boldly.

Wow, interesting. Do you have any example for this?
I've realized that LLMs are fairly good at string processing tasks that a really complex regex might also do, so I can see the point in those.

Re:OpenAI to discontinue support for the Codex API

cushman and code-davinci are similar for sure (same architecture). Perhaps that's what they meant.
Re:OpenAI to discontinue support for the Codex API
on Tuesday March 21, 2023 @12:27AM (#35242564)
Codex (code-davinci-002) is free (limited beta).
Re:OpenAI to discontinue support for the Codex API
on Tuesday March 21, 2023 @12:26AM (#35242552)
Actually, there is no way to be sure^. If you think about the costs + scale, it's likely to be cushman (code-cushman-001).
^ Unless you are from OpenAI, in which case I have more questions for you :)
Re:OpenAI to discontinue support for the Codex API
on Tuesday March 21, 2023 @12:25AM (#35242543)
codex (code-davinci-002) was free. This is going to be a huge deal for research groups.

It has been possible to generate impressive graphs from text since GPT-2. Though you need a few tricks to make it work.

I see. I wonder if you've been phrasing this (tricky) question correctly.
For example, if you've been asking "I don't smell bad right?? I smell great, right!?" you're unlikely to get honest replies.
Reminds me of "The Mom Test" [1]. The book has a few tricks that can help with asking tough questions and receiving an honest feedback.

Or maybe until you stop noticing the smell? Ask a friend perhaps.
