Nobody said it was one-shotted? It was mindlessly “continue-shotted” except for the brilliant idea of upgrading the model. Obviously the models are going to be improved to the point where typing continue continue, how ya feeling, continue continue, okay let’s double check this, upgrade model, continue continue, will be less necessary.
- unified101 13d agoThe direction of continue shotting will develop a new culture that lead to a much more wider understanding for humans in the field of math. Find a way to accept this new culture and you'll thrive.
- GPerson 13d agoIt won’t. It will lead to a culture which makes it impossible to actually spend a life learning mathematics deeply.
- unified101 13d agoIt will. you just lack imagination.
- GPerson 13d agoIt won’t. You just have no idea how the world actually works.
- unified101 13d agoIt will. you lack imagination, and have a unnecessary high opinion of yourself.
- GPerson 13d agoIt won’t. I don’t.
- unified101 13d agoI apologize to GPerson for needlessly trying to convince him to my point of view. He seems to be an smart person deeply affected by how LLM are affecting his vocation and work. It was wrong of me to do this and I will take a break from this website for one week.
- danabramov 13d agoI was not "mindlessly continue-shotting". The way you describe it is literally the same as "one-shotting" and, as I explained in the article, it simply doesn't work. You are welcome to try it yourself on this problem to verify that. Yes, I was not doing any mathematical work in curating the output, but the article makes it quite clear that pivots and constraints the LLM would not impose on itself were critical to actually making progress. Also: >He doesn’t even know any mathematics and has never cared to learn While I don't know enough mathematics to work on this problem, claiming something like this is preposterous. As I link in the first paragraph of the article, I've been learning mathematics on my own by going through Terence Tao's Analysis book and solving exercises. I'm familiar with the concepts of mathematical definitions, proofs, etc. I've gotten about halfway through the book solving them on paper before abandoning it (and later got through the first few chapters in Lean, also solving every exercise — by hand, mind you). Sure, this doesn't make me a mathematician, but I'm closer to a dropout first-year student than to someone who has "never cared to learn".
- GPerson 13d agoI read your blog and nothing in it indicates you did anything besides mindless continue shotting. You don’t know this because you don’t know anything about the culture you’re stomping on. Edit I apologize to Dan Abramov for venting my frustrations about things outside of either of our control and unfairly using him as a punching bag. He seems to be an intelligent person and I hope he continues learning mathematics using whatever tools he sees fit, including AI. It was wrong of me to do this and I will take a break from this website for one week.
- danabramov 13d agoI invite you to continue-shot this result. I haven’t been able to do that with the current models in a separate control session. It might be possible to plainly continue-shot it with more powerful models in the future. I agree that whatever I did is probably automatable.
