If you prefer active voice then “He died” is optimal.

Actually “He died” uses the active voice, whereas “He was murdered” uses the passive voice.

No, the old model does not have the training data. It only has “model weights”. You can conceptualize those as the abstract rules that the old model learned when it read the training data. By design, they are not supposed to memorize their training data.

To outperform the old model, the new model needs more than what the old model learned. It needs primary sources, ie the training data itself. Which is going to be deleted.

It’s true that a new model can be initialized from an older one, but it will never outperform the older one unless it is given actual training data (not necessarily the same training data used previously).

Kind of like how you can learn ancient history from your grandmother, but you will never know more ancient history than your grandmother unless you do some independent reading.

They will need actual training data when they want to develop the next version of their LLM.

I doubt it. How would they keep disgruntled ex-employees from spilling the beans?

They were also forced to delete the pirated works from their training data. Which means they might have problems training the next version of their LLM, and if so that revenue is going to dry up.

No, he said “ICE, Customs and Border Patrol, the Department of Homeland Security, and other similarly situated federal agencies” had started staging.

Pritzker said he received information about Trump’s plans, not that the Guard already deployed.

What weapons? Illinois has very strict gun control, including an assault weapons ban.

There are exceptions for federal officers. But if Trump can’t find a way to federalize the Texas Guard…

I doubt that’s Texas National Guard, everyone would know if they already deployed.

Much more likely that Great Lakes is hosting a surge of ICE agents

I thought it was straightforward.

Democrats voted on a resolution for an arms embargo, and the vote failed.

Normally words are all trained together, not one after another. Subjects do a monitored task that includes the entire vocabulary list, data from that task is processed extensively off-line, and finally subjects return to test all the vocabulary words.

Just so it’s clear, each subject spent hours training their own AI to recognize seven words they intentionally produced as “inner voice”. At the end, their individually trained AI could only predict those seven words.

That’s quite a bit different than an AI that could recognize new words in a completely different person. I think that’s as unlikely as training ChatGPT using only English texts and then expecting it to understand Chinese.

This was a prospective study that looked at lifelong abstainers, not people who gave up drinking. Furthermore, reduced overall mortality was found in light/moderate drinkers even after excluding participants with pre-existing conditions.

That’s the correct way to control for the issue you raised.

Despite what the linked article claims, it’s still not clear whether alcohol’s known cancer risk is outweighed by any health benefits (for example, reducing the risk of stroke/CVD). At least one recent paper concluded that light or moderate alcohol use does reduce overall mortality.

Compared with lifetime abstainers, current infrequent, light, or moderate drinkers were at a lower risk of mortality from all causes [infrequent—hazard ratio: 0.87; 95% confidence interval: 0.84 to 0.90; light: 0.77; 0.75 to 0.79; moderate 0.82; 0.80 to 0.85], CVD, chronic lower respiratory tract diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, and influenza and pneumonia. Also, light or moderate drinkers were associated with lower risk of mortality from diabetes mellitus and nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, or nephrosis. In contrast, heavy drinkers had a significantly higher risk of mortality from all causes, cancer, and accidents (unintentional injuries).

I just saved another $15,000

Humans also don’t generally eat poison. But the mice in this study were poisoned with DSS after eating meat. Maybe meat is not the real culprit here…

In the animal study, mice were fed three types of red meat – pork, beef and mutton – every day for two weeks. Then, the researchers triggered colitis (a model for IBD) using a chemical called dextran sulfate sodium (DSS).

They definitely aren’t evolved to eat dextran sulfate sodium.

Like saying goodbye to a crazy neighbor you know.
