This is like the worst case of "Sales promises features that don't exist" ever.

I have a 3 year old who uses AI by talking to ChatGPT's advanced voice mode. He enjoys talking to it and we also use image generation to generate images he's interested in. He also likes to translate words into different language

One big challenge I see with this is that it will attract people who struggle to make friends. A club of lonely men seems like a place I would be embarrassed to go to and hesitant to make friends at. Usually friends have more to recommend t

Why would we be boiling to death in this situation? Jupiter is much further from Earth than the sun is and Jupiter is also much smaller. Heat would increase, but probably not that much.

Even without telepathy I think AI will get there. Doctors don't have that much time or access with a patient. Imagine telling ChatGPT what you feel, what your symptoms are, it asks follow up questions, gives some suggestions on changes

I've never understood this critique. Models have the capability to say: "oh, I made a mistake here, let me change this" and that solves the issue, right? A little bit of engineering and fine tuning - you could imagine a model

It depends if you do stuff that matters or not. If your job is meaningless, then detecting errors with a 35% false positive rate would just be extra work. On the other hand, if the quality of your output matters - 35% seems like an incredib

I am right about it. Find a single document - written before the viral tweet that claims this. The idea doesn't even stand up to basic common sense. Nobody ever thought about the default date in the social security database system bef

Don't doubt yourself. You're commenting on hackernews without verifying that the "COBOL defaults to random date in 1875" thing is true. A 12 second google search for use of the word "COBOL" with this 1875 dat

People in the 16th century had the notion of scrying mirrors - presumably without analogous experience. I'm sure you could explain FaceTime to a person from then. "This magic glass shows me the view and transports the sound from t

Developer productivity tools are developer replacement tools. If the current paradigm is: principal/senior devs design system, implemented by more junior devs, and LLM tools enable the seniors to produce lots of code, then the juniors

by ALittleLight 2y ago
This take is as bad as it is banal. LLM's are glorified autocomplete? Today I used an LLM to help me figure out an issue with a docker-compose file, what was wrong with my database connection, extract structured data from tens of milli

I'm not sure what your point is - as I've already mentioned this comparison is between all cybertruck deaths, none of which were low speed collisions resulting in a fire, and the deaths that the NHTSA review identified as caused b

by ALittleLight 2y ago
The people involved are clearly trying hard to make the cybertruck look bad. If there was real data, I assume they'd present it. The fact they choose to produce these crude distortions instead implies to me there is not real data that

by ALittleLight 2y ago
Like the parent comment says, this is garbage. For the cybertruck it includes all fatalities (3 in a high speed crash that caught on fire, 1 in a different crash, 1 in the recent car bomb outside Trump's tower). For the pinto they only

I'm not a customer, so don't take what I say too seriously, but to me it seems like you are unilaterally making a purchasing decision on my behalf. That is, I agreed to pay you 50 dollars a month and you are deciding I should pay

It is *much* more convenient. When a research path takes me to an article or book - I could buy or order or go to a physical library, that would take hours or days. I could also open it as a PDF in seconds. If you need to read a chapter fro

by ALittleLight 2y ago
Maybe I'm misreading. It sounds like you're stepping the user up a pricing tier - e.g. going from 50 a month to 100 and then charging at the better rate. I would also worry about a bug on my end that fires off lots of screenshots.

Looking at your urlbox - pretty funny language around the quota system. >What happens if I go over my quota? >No need to worry - we won't cut off your service. We automatically upgrade you to the next tier so you benefit from vol

True, but if the coding becomes trivial then you'll be replaced by a good PM who can work with an agent team.
52.
by ALittleLight 2y ago
Presumably the errors in the teams come from not having access to good data. The agent is reading websites and trying to make lists and sometimes going by memory - and, from the x thread, seems to often get things wrong. What if the agent h

Seems like you could solve hallucinations by repeating the task multiple times. Non-hallucinations will be the same. Hallucinations will be different. Discard and retry hallucinated sections. This increases cost by a fixed multiple, but if

Yes, that is what "replicate" with my own ideas means.

by ALittleLight 2y ago
At 6 dollars per run, I'm tempted to try to figure out how to replicate this. I'd like to try some alternatives to "wait" - e.g. "double checking..." Or write my own chains of thought.

I don't think it's the case that there are many conditions with only single treatment option. "Lower the price or we let our people die" probably isn't right, but "Our cost benefit analysis shows, at this price

That seems very bad. What's the point of a new model that's worse than 4o? I guess it's cheaper in the API and a bit better at coding - but, this doesn't seem compelling. With DeepSeek I heard OpenAI saying the plan wa

Or maybe we just build a system that can reliably detect and deflect asteroids and resolve the concern.

VC's raise money from investors. Investors want to put their money with good VCs. If OpenAI is huge, and you missed it, that seems bad. If OpenAI flops and you strategically held off - that seems good.

That's not like the scenario with Uber either though. Nobody is telling the drivers they have to work again.
