Davidbrcz commented on History LLMs: Models trained exclusively on pre-1913 texts   github.com/DGoettlich/his... · Posted by u/iamwil

“Time-locked models don't roleplay; they embody their training data. Ranke-4B-1913 doesn't know about WWI because WWI hasn't happened in its textual universe. It can be surprised by your questions in ways modern LLMs cannot.”

“Modern LLMs suffer from hindsight contamination. GPT-5 knows how the story ends—WWI, the League's failure, the Spanish flu.”

This is really fascinating. As someone who reads a lot of history and historical fiction I think this is really intriguing. Imagine having a conversation with someone genuinely from the period, where they don’t know the “end of the story”.

That's some Westworld level of discussion

what's the difference between goal and intent?

A goal is what, intent is why. And a same goal could be motivated by different intents.

It's not "node" or "Javascript" the problem, it's this convenient packaging model.

This is gonna ruffle some feathers, but it's only a matter of time until it'll happen on the Rust ecosystem which loves to depend on a billion subpackages, and it won't be fault of the language itself.

The more I think about it, the more I believe that C, C++ or Odin's decision not to have a convenient package manager that fosters a cambrian explosion of dependencies to be a very good idea security-wise. Ambivalent about Go: they have a semblance of packaging system, but nothing so reckless like allowing third-party tarballs uploaded in the cloud to effectively run code on the dev's machine.

Don't worry about C or C++, we create the vulnerabilities ourselves !

That's Event-B (minus the formal side) with LLM

Personally, I think dark mode is unnecessary feature creep. But it's also because I never use it and hate it when it's the default and I have to go hunt for the hidden button to switch it off: I need lots of light, otherwise letters get blurry for me, so I'm just another biased human being =)

Dark mode is also about accessibility for some visually impaired users
