These trees are making air quality in cities worse

Reply in thread

Here is the explanation from the article that contradicts its title:

Ozone forms when volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by some vegetation, vehicles and chemical industries react with nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are emitted mostly by traffic and industry. A series of reactions between these compounds in the presence of sunlight causes ozone to form. Breathing in ozone can inflame or damage the airways, causing breathing difficulties, particularly in people with asthma or lung disease.

LLMs and Humans are Cognitive Cousins – Sean Carroll podcast w/Dr. Chandra Sripada

I wouldn't think that your advertising of the podcast is so successful as to make people listen to it.

But somehow you seem to be leaking the idea that reasoning models are something different than autoregressive LLMs. Yes, they do have different fine-tuning and system prompts, but little beyond that. Subbarao Kambhampati has worked a lot on this, e.g. https://doi.org/10.1111/nyas.15339 or https://doi.org/10.1111/nyas.15125
