Transcript
Welcome once again to #define, our game show all about fake, obscure, jargon definitions, tomfoolery, and people who generally know way too much about words. Also, Adam and I are here…
Yeah, I’m here today. Again.
We are joined by our champions. This is going to be a – I was going to say a Duke Nukem, because that’s on my mind, but… What’s the name of that game where they all punch each other? Oh, a Rock’em Sock’em Robots of #define, because everybody here except for Adam and myself have actually won the game. We tried to get all of our #define champs, but of course, scheduling is hard, and so Lars and Carol couldn’t make it… But we are joined today by our previous winners, starting with the person who won most recent – not first, because that was Lars, but first right after him - it’s Taylor Troesh. What’s up, Taylor?
First right after him. Second. You know? [laughter]
Yeah, you’re right. Second would work there.
I lost in the first round… Yeah, how’s it going?
You did, but you came back and you were victorious after that.. And then did you lose to Carol after that, or did we boot you?
I think I lost to Carol and then you got tired of me.
Okay. So we’re not tired of you, we’re back… You’re back… We’ve invited you back. And I’m sure you’re going to give it a go. After Taylor is Thomas. Ooh, Jonathan Taylor Thomas… We should get a Jonathan here, and have a JTT shout-out from the nineties. What’s up, Thomas? How you doing, man?
I’m doing well. It’s good to catch up with everyone, and… Yeah, happy to be back here. I think it’s good for all of us that Carol did not join, because she destroyed me last time I played.
That’s right. So you are a – you’re one for two in winning, which is slightly better than Taylor… But not quite as good as Matthew, who’s one for one. Aren’t you, Matthew?
Yeah. I was going to decline this to keep my record, but… [laughter]
“I’m going to keep my belts, okay…?”
You can’t keep the belt if you don’t fight for the belt.
You can’t take away what I can’t lose.
That’s right. Well, if you don’t show up, then you actually lose by default… And so I’m glad that you’re here to defend your title, and then potentially take these guys’s title. And lastly is our most recent winner… It’s David Aja. David, welcome back.
You know, I’m chilling. I’m excited. I’m ready to earn the masters in BS. I feel like I got the BS in BS. Let’s take it to the next level.
If you win a third time, we get you the PhD, the BS-HD. That didn’t make any sense. Adam, why are you here? No, just kidding. So…
Ah… Solidarity, my friend. Solidarity.
[laughs] You’re here because it’s Changelog & Friends With Adam and Jerod, and so of course you are here.
That’s right! I’ve gotta be.
And should we reveal the secret from the Changelog Plus Plus segment last time around? Do you want to get your comeuppance?
What was it? What am I revealing? What did I miss?
You won a round. You won it, remember? After we quit playing, we had a Changelog Plus Plus special…
…in which you beat David, and everybody else.
You’ve got to win in post shows, you know? If I’m going to win, I might as well do it when no one’s listening.
I would describe that win as a hallucination…
[laughs] Well, it’s funny you say that, because we are going to put a slight twist on this round in order to level the playing field. You know, Adam’s a big fan of golf…
And in golf there’s handicaps, and there’s also mulligans. And since you all are previous winners and Adam hasn’t quite achieved that level yet, we’re going to give him a slight handicap, which is that during this game, he can pick one round… He does not have to disclose, but for one round, he can actually use an LLM to generate his answer.
And that’s it. So he gets to let a trick up his sleeve. He can deploy it whenever he wants. He doesn’t have to… And he does not have to disclose it. That way, maybe… Who knows…? Maybe he’ll be the champion of champions.
Should I not disclose it at all, or just not until I win the round?
Well, that card is in your hand, you can play it however you want.
What do you mean “until you win the round”?
Well, if I’m leveraging an agent, there’s no way I can lose.
Yeah, you might still lose the round.
Yeah, what are you talking about…?
[laughs] It’s not a guaranteed win.
Oh, I mean… Have you seen my agents? Gosh…
Well, then why don’t you have wins already?
Well, because I don’t use the agents there, buddy. That’s why. I’m using my own brain, which is stupid. I use their brain, which is very smart. All the smarts there, all the stupid here.
We have a no Google policy, we have a no agent policy… Of course, don’t look up the definitions, because that wouldn’t be very fun at all. The way this game works is that we have 10 rounds of play, or playing to 12 points, whichever one comes first… And each round presents a word, which is obscure, hopefully - hopefully nobody knows it; maybe you know it - that is in the world of STEMy things. So it could be a science, medicine, it could be math, it could be music, it could be science fiction, it could be computer science, etc. They’re just in that wheelhouse of science-y things. And a definition of the obscure word.
Now, after I name the word, everybody submits to me their definitions of what they think the word means. Or if they don’t know what it means, they make one up in order to fool their enemies into selecting it. After the definitions are submitted, I will read them all, hopefully without laughing, and then you all go around and try to guess which one is the correct definition.
[00:08:15.14] Now, if you get the right definition initially, right away, you get three points and you set the round out. If you have the wrong definition, but other people pick yours, you get one point for each person who picks your definition. And then at the end of the round, if you happened upon the correct definition during the selection process, you get two points. So three, two, and one. If nobody selects the correct definition in a round, I, your humble host, get four points.
And the first one to 12 wins, or the person with the most points after all 10 rounds - I doubt we’re going to have to do all 10 to get to 12, because David scored 12 in like 37 seconds last time. So… Any questions before we get into round one?
No, let’s go. Excited to get started.
Alright. Here we go. Your word for round one is iatragenic. Iatragenic . I-A-T-R-A-G-E-N-I-C, iatragenic. Please submit to me your definitions for iatragenic now. Is there a problem, Taylor?
I know this one… I’m just trying to – it’s so close.
Now, Jerod, have you considered using a text-to-speech solution for reading these definitions aloud, to avoid the laughter problem, the metagame?
That’s a really good idea. I just feel like I would be really bored. [unintelligible 00:10:01.12]
Yeah. You don’t want AI taking your job.
I’m going to keep fighting. Alright, all definitions are in for iatragenic… And I will say right up front that Taylor has the correct definition. So three points for Taylor… And you can just relax, my friend. Good job. He did know it. He really knew it. So there are one, two, three, four… Five possible definitions for iatragenic. Number one, “Iatragenic describes natural springs which produce water with high concentrations of ionic water.” Number two, “Iatragenic - caused inadvertently by medical treatment or diagnosis.” Number three, “An object solely composed of distinct, dissimilar parts.” Number four, “Describing cells in the endocrine system responsible for producing hormones.” And number five, “The process of swapping out one gene pool for another.” There you have it, five potential definitions for iatragenic. We start - since Taylor is resting, we start with Thomas.
Yeah. So looking at this list, we have the water ones, natural springs with ionic water… So like genic. I think about iatragenic, genic being like “to generate”. I know that much. “Caused inadvertently by medical operation” was number two. A combination of distinct dissimilar parts, cells in the endocrine system, and then gene pool swapping.
No, thank you, because normally people are like “What’s number three again?”
[00:12:08.09] [laughs] Okay. What really sticks out to me is the “Caused inadvertently.” So number two is what I’m going to go with.
Alright, Thomas goes with number two. How about Matthew?
Because you said something, I want you to repeat number three, actually.
Okay. Number three is “An object solely composed of distinct dissimilar parts”, you jerk… [laughter]
Jerk… Is that in the definition?
That was for him. He’s just trolling me. That was a troll. We all know what it was.
So the gene one, dissimilar parts, water, water… Repeated water twice, actually. So that was interesting. The gene pool one…
There was one that’s not the gene pool, not the water, not the dissimilar parts… There were two other definitions that I can’t remember.
Oh, gosh. So number four was describing cells in the endocrine system responsible for producing hormones.
That’s not gene pool, that’s not…
Not gene pool, not dissimilar, not water, and not cells. There’s that one other one.
Not cells. This is like a test for me…
There’s that one – this one right here.
The process of swapping out one gene pool for another?
Okay. “Caused inadvertently by medical treatment or diagnosis”?
Yeah, I’m going to lock that one in.
So you’re going to pile on with Thomas.
Admittedly, I didn’t catch which one Thomas picked, so… Yeah, it’s a pile on.
Okay. So it’s an accidental pile-on. Fair. Alright, we go to David.
I’m going to construct an additional pile-on.
[laughs] This guy doesn’t just pile on, he constructs pile-ons. Alright, we’ve got three people on –
…number two, and we go to Adam… Who’s the last one to actually guess.
What’s the second to last one, Jerod?
That would be the fourth.
Yes. Can you read that one, please?
Describing cells in the endocrine system responsible for producing hormones.
Yeah, that’s the one. That’s the one right there. Let’s dial that one in.
Yeah, let’s dial that one in.
No breakfast ball required, fellas…
Alright. Well, after round one, of course, Taylor gets the default three…
So Taylor, what’s the correct answer, Taylor?
The correct answer is the medical one. And the only reason I know it is from a Nassim Taleb book. I can’t remember which one, but… He loves that word.
Fooled by Randomness, or…?
I don’t remember. I haven’t read one of his books in 10 years, or something.
I don’t know either. Antifragile… Is that him?
That sounds like something that would happen in there, because maybe you go in for an appointment and then you get misdiagnosed… And then you’re stronger afterwards? No, that doesn’t make sense. I don’t know. Yes, that is the correct definition for iatragenic. It’s when something’s caused inadvertently by medical treatment or diagnosis. Taylor’s definition was “Has the opposite intended effect, as in hospitals killing healthy patients.” Very good. So Thomas, Matthew and David each correctly got that, so they each get two points. Thomas, Matthew and David. And then Adam, he did not pile on. He went for “Describing cells in the endocrine system responsible for producing hormones.” That was David’s. So an additional point…
Come out the gate with 12, right away.
He’s coming out. He’s on pace. He’s on pace once again… And a successful round one. We have Taylor and David with three, Thomas and Matthew with two, and your humble hosts with zero. Moving to round two… In round two your word is… Heteroscedasticity. It’s spelled H-E-T-E-R-O-S-C-E-D-A-S-T-I-C-I-T-Y. I’ll put that in chat…
Yeah, you need to put that in chat.
[00:16:06.27] I’ll say it one more time… It’s heteroscedasticity. There we go. Heteroscedasticity. That’s tough.
Matthew, is the Oxide T-shirt embroidered?
Ooph… Quality from end to end. That’s not [unintelligible 00:16:38.29] t’s embroidered. Wow…
I grabbed a couple of T-shirts while I was there, and they were – I grabbed the XLs, went back to the hotel, I’m like “These are too big.” I went and swapped them for larges… Got home and I’m like “Ah, these are too small.” Now I don’t know what to do. I wear them when I work out, it makes me look buff, you know? I love the 0X Engineer one. So cool.
Yeah, [unintelligible 00:17:01.14]
Just me and Matthew have that problem with our arms. We just can’t fit everything in, you know, our guns.
Can’t you tell? They’re pretty much the same size…
Have you considered working on anything other than the biceps? [laughter]
He’ll keep it under advisement. So Adam, when you do decide to deploy your LLM-based answer, which language model are you going to use?
Oh, gosh… Great question. I don’t know, honestly… I don’t know.
Have you played – there’s a Mac app called Chorus, that makes it easy for you to just fire the same question to a bunch of them at once…
…which, when I have things where it’s like I don’t actually care which model, I just want to try several at once. That’s often kind of helpful.
That’s pretty much what I do manually. I just like copy paste it into like three different prompts. So that was really something I might give a shot. I really like to go scorched earth and just maximize my compute on this particular…
Literally scorch the earth…
“How could I maximize my carbon footprint?”
I was looking away. Was that you, David? Was that your voice I heard saying that? Who was it that said this tool? Was it David?
Chorus? That was David. Yeah.
It’s called Chorus. Like you’re a chorus of people, is that right?
Like a collection of people singing.
I do not remember the domain. I think if you just – let me…
If you just ask all your LLMs, one will point you to the right place.
Yeah… I’ve found a couple of Choruses that are not that. I’m trying to find that…
Oh, they don’t want you talking about it. Chorus.shh…
That’s not what that means, Jerod…
Chorus dot – what does it mean, shell?
Yeah, it’s like a .sh file. A script.
That’s why they made the TLD, was for shell scripts?
I don’t know. That’s how they’re best being used…
It’s probably for Shazakistan.
Shazakistan… Or it could be Shazam. It could be Shaq’s favorite movie about himself. He can afford TLD, I think… Anybody can.
Well, whoever did this website for Chorus is just… I like it. They did a great job.
Adam, if you’re looking for advice on LLMs, you should pick up a vintage. Go for like GPT 2.5… It’s a nice Vintage.
It’s like a 2021 vintage…
[laughs] You might be correct. Alright, I have five definitions for heteroscedasticity, or however you say it…
[00:19:57.22] You’re getting better at it, though… The practice is paying off.
And by five, I mean five, not six, because one of us got it 100% correct… And that person is Mr. David Aja. Three points to David.
I had to try really hard not to help you with the pronunciation…
Oh, and he knows how to pronounce it, too… How am I doing?
Eventually. I have this pronunciation guide, and as I try to read the actual syllables, I can’t – it’s just a lot of syllables. I couldn’t quite put them together. Bu if you just look at the words - not so bad. Anyways, neither here nor there. Up first, this round – well, let me read them. Gosh… You guys just guess the numbers. Might as well… Okay, five definitions for heteroscedasticity. Ah, shoot, I’m back. “A material that has differing shear resistance across its various dimensions.”
That’s number one. Number two, when molecules have multiple stable configurations. Number three, the process of fine-tuning multidimensional data structures into a single data store. Number four, a collection of disjoint operators which make up the order one manifold. And number five, a statistical property in which some subpopulations in a collection of random variables have different variabilities from others. There you go, five definitions. Heteroscedasticity. Let’s start with Thomas.
So the first one we have is this material with different shear…
Yes, shear resistance across its various dimensions.
Across various dimensions, okay… So it makes sense that all of these do play into the prefix of the word, the hetero, right? …of mixing up different things together.
Number two, you have molecules with different… What were they?
Multiple stable configurations, yeah.
Multiple stable configurations. Okay… Okay, that makes sense. For three, fine-tuning for multidimensional LLMs, or AI models…
Multidimensional data structures.
Oh, data structures. I’m just throwing –
Process of fine-tuning multidimensional data structures into a single data store.
You see, but I feel like this -city at the end is not necessarily like a process. So it’s describing a state of something.
Yeah, but it’s a city, not a state.
I beat you to that one, Taylor…
And then what was the – a collection… The operators?
Yeah, a collection of disjoint operators which make up the order one manifold.
What is the order one manifold?
Order dash one? Order minus one? I don’t know. Order one?
I just haven’t heard of that before. It’s interesting. It could be that one… You know, I do think it’s the statistical variabilities within multiple datasets that just kind of feels right to me… Hetero - you know, different, mixing together, and then -city describing the state… So I’ll go with number five.
Alright, Thomas gets five. We go to Matthew…
I’m also leaning five… I think that makes sense. I don’t think the stable state one makes sense. I don’t think the order one makes sense. What else was there? Shear resistance was one…
Fine tuning of some data structure… And then what was that one I’m missing?
It was a material having differing shear resistances.
Yeah, so I have shear, data structure, order manifold…
And stable configurations.
And statistical property.
Damn, I think I’m with you on this one, Thomas… [laughs] I’m piling on.
A stack-up around the normal distribution…
This is feeling like a repeat. Okay, David’s out. Adam.
[00:24:13.14] I’m going to pile on… I don’t know what I’m piling onto, but whatever they chose, I’m choosing. That’s it. [laughter]
Yeah… He’s just following along like a lemming…
Follow or lead, and if you can’t lead, you follow. I’m following, okay?
Alright. Fair. Taylor, are you leading? Are you following? What are you doing?
That’s a warm pile, Taylor…
My grandma always used to say, “Taylor, homoscedasticity is shear resistance in a single direction.” So it must be the opposite, you know?
Like, this is a family secret, and I just realized that this must be the truth.
Taylor, this was your grandmother who worked in the bomb factory, and she used to tell you stories about her time in the bomb factory to put you to sleep, and you can ask ChatGPT to –
Exactly. That same grandma. Yeah.
He would snore just “Heteroscedasticity…” [laughter] When he goes to sleep.
You almost can’t snore that. [unintelligible 00:25:15.16] Alright, so you’re going with the material, huh? The differing shear resistances, because your grandma told you so?
Okay. Just making sure. Alright. So we find ourselves in similar grounds as last round, except for David has the correct answer… And so David, why don’t you tell everybody what the right answer is?
I drew a little diagram, because I used to love trying to draw this when I wanted to be an economics professor… This is a homoscedastic distribution, where the normals are basically kind of the same… And then this is a heteroscedastic distribution, where the variance for one subgroup is smaller than the other.
But they’re both in danger from that T-Rex…
Yeah, the T-Rex is definitely after both distributions. So either way, you’re going down.
So you’re getting eaten no matter what, but…
Was that a drawing of a metal pipe? Because it’s materials, right? Was my grandma lying to me? [laughter]
I can’t see the different shears. Come on, that’s not a drawing of the shear resistance. Alright, so Taylor’s grandma led him right into Matthew’s lap… Matthew wrote that one, so one point for Matthew. And the three of you all got it correct. “The statistical property in which some subpopulations in a collection of random variables have different variabilities from the others.” Of course, hetero, everybody knows what that means… The last part, the skedasticity, comes from the ancient Greek word “skedonimi”, which means to scatter. So there you have it.
Oh, it also comes from skedaddle.
Yeah, which is when you’ve got to run. [unintelligible 00:26:55.02]
That’s right. They actually – that’s how they got that. They mispronounced skedasticity.
That’s right. And if you want everybody to run in different directions, you say “Let’s heteroskedaddle.”
That’s right. All day. [laughter] Gosh…
Like cockroaches. “Heteroskedaddle…!” Okay, so three points for David. Matthew gets two plus one. He gets three. Thomas gets two, Adam gets two… Taylor - locked out of this round. After two rounds, we have David in first with six, Matthew with five, Thomas with four, Taylor with three, Adam on the board, with two… And I’m still sitting at zero. However, I’m very excited for round three, because the word for round three is… Achakatura.
Break: [00:27:45.23]
Yes, you heard that right… Acciaccatura. A-C-C-I-A-C-C-A-T-U-R-A. Please submit your definitions for acciaccatura now.
Do we know if you’re pronouncing that correctly?
That’s the way the person on YouTube said it when I looked up how to pronounce that word. Now, they could have been wrong, because I did not go for multiple sources.
This is like a play on acai… That’s what this is. This is like acai–ccatura. [laughter]
Yeah, just a few more letters on that one…
The double CC’s… That’s a very rare thing.
And what’s weird is the first CC’s are the cia, and the second CC’s are the ca. Accia-ca.
It sounds so weird that now I’m going to go – you guys keep typing, I’m going to go double-check YouTube and maybe get a second source… Maybe I’m saying it wrong. No, yeah, I’m saying it right.
Okay. I’ll stop pressuring you.
Thank you. I was questioning a lot of things in my life, so… [laughs] Happily, I’m back on firm ground here.
Country of origin… Use it in a sentence…
Uh, yes. The sentence is, “The word for round three is acciaccatura.” [laughter] Yeah… It’s not my first #define, Thomas…
I’d like to buy a vowel hint thing, whatever, and get Adam’s LLM…
There’s a lot of vowels in this word.
I would like the LLM from Adam to be used…
How do we do that…? Here, I have dollar… How do I pay for that?
I think bribes might work…
Yeah. How many tokens can I get?
“How many tokens can I get with this buck…?”
That’s right. It might cost a bit more than that.
Taylor, did your grandma tell you anything about this word?
Actually, yes… I’m very excited.
“I’m very excited…” [laughs] Well, she led you astray with the previous word, which I will not pronounce again.
She’s not perfect, and that’s okay.
To her credit, she was not talking about hetero, she was talking about homo. So… It’s an entirely different thing. Don’t let me distract you guys… I know you’re all working hard. Taylor’s done, though.
It’s really easy when you cheat and you just look up the definition, you know? It makes things go a lot faster.
[00:32:02.08] That’s what my grandma always said.
Are there any words with the mythical triple C?
[laughs] That’s a great question. I don’t know the answer to that.
No? I don’t think it exists.
Initial searches are not good.
Now I’m going to my second round of searching.
CC is a cubic centimeter…
Did you learn that in Canada?
But cubic centimeter is the same as a milliliter.
What is that in American?
I was in a distillery once, and there’s the equivalence between like a gram of water and a cubic – a gram and a milliliter are the same amount.
And then they said they measured their water in pounds, and I was just like “I don’t trust whatever’s going on back there…”
Is that British pounds, or…?
I think… They are imperial pounds.
[laughs] It’s looking like there aren’t any CCCs. You mean the Cs have to be next to each other, right? Yeah.
You’re talking about a word that has CC next to each other three times.
Oh, is that what you want? I thought you wanted three Cs in a row.
No, I wanted three Cs in a row.
