From Gemini pro:

You should definitely ride the elephant (or at least lead it there)!

Here is the logic:

If you walk there by yourself, you will arrive at the creek, but the dirty elephant will still be 300 feet back where you started. You can't wash the elephant if it isn't with you!

Plus, it is much easier to take the elephant to the water than it is to carry enough buckets of water 300 feet back to the elephant.

Would you like another riddle, or perhaps some actual tips on how to keep cool in the Arizona heat?

1. "Suspected" is just that, suspected, you can't penalize papers based on your gut feel 2. LLM-s are a tool, and there's nothing wrong with using them unless you misuse them

Well, one of these is something that most reaonable people work on avoiding, while the other is something that a huge capitalist industrial machine is working to achieve like their existence depends on it.

And along similar lines, "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

I really don't see why it's not possible to just use basically a "highlighter" token which is added to all the authoritative instructions and not to data. Should be very fast for the model to learn it during rlhf or similar.

Can you recommend some resources to achieve (b)? Just basic stuff without going full guru on every little detail.

Or do you just mean using indexes basically? I'm just not sure how many unknown unknowns I have wrt sql.

Amazing idea, really I'm impressed. This intrigued me at first glance as a fun typing exercise, as I've always struggled with typing - I started using computers way before they started teaching typing around here, so my typing is far from the optimal 10 finger method, but I've always found typing exercises mind numbingly boring.

However, as I started typing The call of Cthulhu, I'm now much more intrigued by this as a new way to read books. It is a very different literary experience from just simply reading. I'm way more attentive to the text itself, rather than just the meaning, if that makes sense. Though it's very possible that this effect is going to go away as I get more used to it.

Any chance of typing out custom uploaded books? Maybe copy pasted plaintext?

Also kudos on the execution, the site is really nicely made.
