Wow one of the best lectures I've watched!

I have two. One is a simple one that only deepseek R1 has passed (in my opinion):

I have a 12 liter jug and a 6 liter jug. How do I get exactly 6 liters of water?

Answer (Deepseek): Fill the 6-liter jug completely to obtain exactly 6 liters of water.

Every other LLM I've tried include o3-mini-high: Fill the 12-liter jug completely. Pour it into the 6 liter jug.

Although o3 did get it right in the reasoning: It seems like the user has a 12-liter jug and a 6-liter jug. The simplest answer is to just fill the 6-liter jug directly with water—done! But maybe there's a catch, like needing to use both jugs somehow.

So it knows that the 12 liter jug is mentioned uselessly, but most LLMs HAVE to use the 12 liter jug since it's mentioned in the prompt.

Another Prompt I recently found via perplexity (that deepseek got correct on the first try, but other LLMs can only get it right if I add: "Think step by step before answering."

A 67-year-old woman with congenital bicuspid aortic valve is admitted to the hospital because of a 2-day history of fever and chills. Her current medication is lisinopril. Physical examination reveals a temperature of 38.5°C (101.3°F), blood pressure of 110/70 mmHg, and a heart rate of 100/min. Cardiac auscultation demonstrates a grade 3/6 systolic ejection murmur at the right upper sternal border. Blood cultures are obtained, and empiric antibiotic therapy is initiated. Which of the following is the most likely causative organism? A) Staphylococcus aureus B) Streptococcus viridans C) Escherichia coli D) Pseudomonas aeruginosa E) Candida albicans

Me visiting a listing for a toaster means that I'm in the market for a toaster, doesn't necessarily imply I already bought one.

Also, with this data, they can potentially build a better model than Amazon's recommender model. Most consumers have a pattern when buying and there's a lot of money in figuring it out.

It failed my basic benchmark that only GPT4 passes:

Q: I have a 12 liter jug and a 6 liter jug. I need 6 liters of water. How do I do it?

Falcon180B: First, fill the 6-liter jug completely. Then, pour it into the 12-liter jug. Fill the 6-liter jug again, and pour it into the 12-liter jug until the 12-liter jug is full. At this point, there will be exactly 6 liters of water in the 6-liter jug, which you can then use.

Q: Using only a 6-liter jug, how can I get exactly 6 liters of water?

Falcon180B: You cannot get exactly 6 liters of water in a 6-liter jug because it would already be full. However, if you had another container that could hold at least 6 liters of water, you could follow these steps:

1. Fill the 6-liter jug with water. 2. Pour the water from the 6-liter jug into the other container. 3. Refill the 6-liter jug with water and pour it into the other container. 4. Repeat step 3 until you have poured 6 liters of water into the other container.

This way, you can get exactly 6 liters of water by combining the capacity of the 6-liter jug and the other container.

This day got a lot better! I have thousands of hours but had taken a break after I reached a rocket launch every minute with 100s of trains running around.

I guess this break will be over soon. I look forward to dropping a few more lifetimes playing this amazing game.

Thanks for the link although for some reason I keep getting:

Incorrect API key provided error on jupyter for chatgpt. I'm on a paid account so not sure why...

I use the following test to ensure I'm on GPT4 and not 3.5. (I noticed that it did fail at this test temporarily and then got it. Not sure why. Maybe it reverts back to 3.5 when under load?)

I have a 12 liter jug and a 6 liter jug. I want to measure 6 liters. How do I do it?

GPT4: You actually don't need to do anything because one of your jugs is already a 6-liter jug. If you fill it up to the top, you'll have exactly 6 liters of water.

GPT-3.5: To measure exactly 6 liters using a 12-liter jug and a 6-liter jug, you can follow the steps below:

Start with both jugs empty. Fill the 12-liter jug completely with water. Pour the water from the 12-liter jug into the 6-liter jug. This will leave you with 6 liters of water in the 12-liter jug. Empty the 6-liter jug. Pour the 6 liters of water from the 12-liter jug back into the empty 6-liter jug. Now, you have 6 liters of water in the 6-liter jug. At this point, you have successfully measured 6 liters using the 12-liter jug and the 6-liter jug.

They're quite wrong about 'this being stupid'.

It is true, that the amount of solar needed to power the entire US is about 0.5% of the land.

That doesn't mean there's no benefit in increasing the efficiency of panels and get dual use of the land. It also has the benefit of allowing for solar in more places where it's needed for more decentralized power.

Nano and commandline is good enough. If apt is available, Micro is even better.
