It’s not… why do I need to translate from Latin (or wherever these come from) to understand them? Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku do the same thing, and are widely known words. Not to mention all LLMs do is generate tokens; I prefer the homage to writing over a space reference.
replyBoy wait till you find out where "opus" comes from.. Do you realize how many words from Latin you used in that comment?
replyWhen was the last time you heard anybody say "opus" or "sonnet" before this?
Also it implies that "haikus" are inherently inferior to longer texts which may be kinda frown-inducing..
It's not supposed to be about superior and inferior, it's supposed to be about bigger and smaller.
replyFable kind of screwed that up, though.
it really isn’t
replyclear would be something like
piss-cheap - it’s-alright-i guess - okay-relax - ouch-my-wallet
yes, each of these things are larger than the other
replyIf that holds then the ultimate model must be called Urmom
replyand wth is an "astra"?
replyMy brain immediately translated "Luna -> Terra -> Sol -> Astra" to "Moon -> Earth -> Sun -> Galaxy", an overall growing of size. While sure, "astra" doesn't directly translate to "galaxy", it's the base of the word "astronomical" and "astronomy".
replyI feel like people who don't get it immediately are just being deliberately obtuse.
Astra means stars.
replyThe more obvious, to me, interpretation was distance from us so I would've expected Terra -> Luna -> Sol -> Astra.
When I think of space and astronomical scales, I think of distance as much more common concern.
i think you underestimate how much you "just getting it" stems from being terminally online - this is a HN model release thread after all
replyI don't doubt that you feel that way, and there's no way I can really provide you any evidence. But I wasn't trying to be obtuse.
