Isn't that what's solved by this method? Your SSO provider (e.g. Okta) is now what gates each employee's resource access for different MCP resources.

On our apps we consistently see a p50 3-4x speed difference between iOS and Android (though there are more lower end android devices). Hard to fathom if it's all due to variability in android devices vs RN being less performant on Android.

Which parts of reasoning do you think is missing? I do feel like it covers a lot of 'reasoning' ground despite its on the surface simplicity

React's pure component functional style translates really well to nearly every other type of software development.

808 ELO was for GPT-4o.

I would suggest re-reading more carefully

A lot of the internet would break if YouTube removed/tweaked their embedded video player so I doubt he has to worry.

He groups them together because ultimately the result is that the science can't be trusted. He doesn't go so far to claim that one was intentionally faked vs gross incompetence.

I don't think the statement reads that the 44% and the 26% should be additive. Especially given the zombie graphic where it looks like they overlap the 26 on top of the 44, where the orange bar is the 26% and the remaining yellow bar is the 44%

I'm impressed you were able to not get tangled up by the youtube/captcha/color hex/roman numeral mess! The youtube one is what screwed me over and over out of all my attempts

I don't think it's easy. Verification is much easier than generating correct solutions for this.

Looking at the JS, these rules use RNG such that you can have an inconsistent or impossible password. E.g. if the only youtube video URLs that work with your duration have roman numerals that multiply above 35 in it you are hard stuck. Your youtube URL can also hard stuck your atomic number summation to 200 if it happens to contain enough elements that adds above 200. Your color hex can hard stuck your 25 sum, etc. The code does not try to generate working passwords given all the rules, it simply adds checks and randomly generates the requirement per rule.

You'd have to have the RNG rules to align well in order to win i.e. youtube video with no roman numerals or numbers or elements, captcha with no numbers or roman numerals or elements, to minimize conflict.

Hmm I looked into it, and looked at papers/pdfs in google scholar's advanced search with her as an author that mentioned LLMs or GPT in the past 3 years. Every single one was a criticism about how they couldn't actually understand anything (e.g. "they're only trained on form" and "at best they can only understand things in a limited well scoped fashion") and that linguistic fundamentals for NLP was more important.

Good to know my hunch was correct

In her field doesn't mean that's what she researches, LLMs are loosely in her field but the methods are completely different. Computational linguistics != deep learning. Deep learning does not directly use concepts from linguistics, semantics, grammars or grammar engineering, which is what Emily was researcing for the past decades.

It's the same thing as saying a number theorist and a set theorist are in the same field cause they both work in the Math field.

Her field has also taken the largest hit from the success of LLMs and her research topics and her department are probably no longer prioritized by research grants. Given how many articles she's written that have criticized LLMs it's not surprising she has incentives.

Current topic aside, I feel like that stochastic parrots paper aged really poorly in its criticisms of LLMs, and reading it felt like political propaganda with its exaggerated rhetoric and its anemic amount of scientific substance e.g.

> Text generated by an LM is not grounded in communicative intent, any model of the world, or any model of the reader’s state of mind. It can’t have been, because the training data never included sharing thoughts with a listener, nor does the machine have the ability to do that.

I'm surprised its cited so much given how many of its claims fell flat 1.5 years later
