Mind linking any examples (or categories) of problems that are definitively not in pre training data but can still be solved by LLMs? Preferably something factual rather than creative, genuinely curious.

Dumb question but anything like this that’s written about on the internet will ultimately end up as training fodder, no?

> to democratize coding

Does that mean we collectively vote as to whether the next addition is a for loop?

While a company may mean to make more widely accessible but used charged language, I think we should fight the urge to parrot.

Same boat - I get really frustrated by the “someone tried to access your account” emails from Facebook.

Oh, you mean the account that you confirmed as deleted 8+ years ago??

Related but not totally on topic:

How much would it cost to buy the rights to an essentially now semi-zombie game, that may have been been popular a decade+ ago?

Say a wealthy benefactor wanted to do so strictly to open source and preserve a series, not create new titles.

Maybe for a series that stills sells copies here and there, but is well past it’s prime?

Say, the Empire Earth franchise?

Or something with relatively more recent releases, like Heroes of Might and Magic?

Would it be the millions? Would one be able to do so for individual titles within a series?

I read the article but didn’t see any mention of inspecting network activity outside of, say, a company laptop but on the same WiFi network while WFH.

Do you, or anyone else, know if this happens or is commonplace? For software folks?

Similar but unrelated, the audacity to post-facto denote something a Netflix Original.
