Because stage 3 would be something like Kessler Syndrome.

If you were anticipating the stock to drop sharply in the future, this may be cheaper.

I doubt it's the greatest given all that's happened in the past year. But it's certainly up there, no pun intended.

But me asking questions is in fact my trying to understand, is it not? I ask a stupid simple question with a slightly rude tone, and then I get downvoted by a bunch of pedantic insiders. Although to be fair it appears some are trying to help.

Look dude, every field develops its own terminology. It's not a conspiracy, just an emergent property. But it always makes getting into the field, or understanding what's in the field, much harder than it needs to be.

How do you know this? I'm not trying to attack your statement, I am genuinely curious how anyone knows anything about model performance outside of benchmarks that are already in the training set.

Yes, I understand one function of jargon, which can be useful to insiders in that it conveys a precise meaning. But, it can be confusing to outsiders, and that is also a useful thing for insiders. In the context of LLMs, what other function can produce p(next token) if not the LLM? And, you just about make my point for me with regards to jargon being confusing by misidentifying what the policy actually is (something i never would have noticed :) In any case, it's an interesting paper. Thanks for all your down votes everyone.

But the probability vector is the output of the LLM, no?

It's a comment. On Hacker News. Not the RL subreddit, or whatever. I'm just amazed at the jargon. I'm sure it's useful, but one could just call it model output.

Wtf is a policy? Is this some sort of RL thing that I'm too ML to understand?

Gemini tells me it's the probability of the next token for an LLM. Okay then.

"This is notably fast given that this is the first time that an Android driver bug I reported was patched within 90 days of the vendor first learning about the vulnerability."

This makes me feel better about Google, but also makes me kind of frightened of the rest of Android. I wonder what Apple's response time is?

Some people respond to incentives. The rest of us are just trying to do our jobs and will probably be fired and then later consumed by the basilisk. We are living in an age of extremophiles.
