Usefulness depends on intended job to be done. A hair dryer isn't very useful at drying clothes. If someone spent a lifetime mastering woodworking with hand tools, and then was shown a couple very early rudimentary power tools (lacking

I struggle to understand how they can frame for the greater good to be anti-distillation and pro-open-weight-models. I can understand how they would be against competitors distilling their models and for having access to competitor open w

I haven't done a financial deep dive into SpaceX since all the consolidation, been focused on other things, so I really don't know how to price it either. It feels overpriced to me too. That said, I would expect SpaceX to grow at

Everything you said sounds about right to me. The point I was making was based on a reference to their market cap when it was $20bn in 2018. At the time there was overwhelming and biased negative sentiment about how it was over-valued at th

Comparing revenue, without at least also comparing revenue growth rates and leverage ratios is really nonsense financial analysis. It was the same thing with Tesla. Everyone screaming when Tesla had. $20bn market cap how they were extreme

Two things about your line of thinking stand out to me: The first is a subtle implication that the share price of SpaceX is dependent on the short term feasibility of data centers in space. I don't think it is. Its more dependent on pu

I pointed out the question you asked seemed disingenuous and how it appeared you weren't being intellectually curious (which is the point of HN). If you treat every criticism as a personal attack then you're likely to stagnate in

Okay, I'm coming around to your point that "everything in moderation" is a reasonable generalization. My gut still says it's easily misinterpreted and can be used as justification to do something that shouldn't be.

One interpretation of your comment is "LLM chat bots don't" or more specifically "ChatGPT doesn't", but I feel like this is a straw man and not intellectually honest answer to my question. The real crux is no

1. Containment requires realtime adjustments to control fields which benefit from very powerful specialized machine learning models. 2. Designs require advanced simulations which benefit from AI both in building the simulations and running

I'm not who you asked, but here are what good generalizations are to me: 1) days contain more photons than nights 2) water boils at 100 degrees Celsius 3) eating excessive sugar will lead to obesity They seem like good generalizations

Random passerby here... There is a term for your argument, it's called a "suckers choice".

My comment conveyed the meaning that you aren't adequately interpreting the point of GP. To ask "What point?" Is disingenuous, since the point was laid out pretty clearly in the lineage of comments you were responding to. I d

What is your opinion on using an LLM to provide immediate feedback/grading at scale such that students have to muster their own answers but can check them quickly, compressing the feedback loop and allowing for more iterations? Student

I don't think I had ever heard the phrase "x is doing a lot of work here" until about a year ago, from Claude, which seems to say it's lot. Out of curiosity, do you use Claude a lot and did you pick up the saying from it

This is a good reminder. It's frustrating because when trying to engage in intellectually curious dialog on HN sometimes people will attack my character and get upset because our perspectives seem to differ on the meaning of a specific

Ensuring integrity definitely requires in person proctored exam centers. It does not require hand written exams. Hand written exams are either very labor intensive to grade or are confined to multiple choice, so either inflationary to cost

Yes but for probably 1000x the energy/cost.

Yes, it's tragic. It's as if electricity had the potential to save lives but everyone was just frantically electrocuting themselves.

It frustrates me that your comment is being down voted, because I agree with your sentiment. Too many educators don't actually know how to educate, and only focus on what to educate. LLMs are offering some ways to dramatically impr

You are right and this is the way, it's just a lot easier said than done, especially the quizzes/exams part. There is a tension between: - authentic assessments (not multiple choice/ - grading resources - computer lab availab
