Thats a handy article. Anyone in the field knows the title of this is implicitly true but its not at all obvious to the lay reader.

Maybe it depends on the institution? I, and many of those I know who went to the same institution, had terrible PhD experiences. I burnt out and left with a Masters, others just quit, one committed suicide. Even those who completed the PhD

Your argument depends on LLMs being able to handle the complexity that is currently the MBA -> dev interface. I suspect it won't really solve it, but its ability to facilitate and simplify that interface will be invaluable. Im not c

I think this mostly comes down to (1) people are more aware of Nazi Germany and thus its easier to use that context than another and (2) the Nazis were extreme even by comparison to their contemporaries and thus have been (presumably) studi

Formerly DDG but back to Google these days. I actually like the RAG AI summaries for general queries. Maybe having an ad blocker is helping here? I use a mixture of Google, ChatGPT, copilot, and gemini for coding queries.

I recently discovered the ikea smart stuff range and highly recommend it. The Ikea stuff uses zigbee and its trivial to connect it to a third party zigbee dongle plugged into your Pi HA setup. The lights work flawlessly and I've been r

Low power sensors are only being polled every few minutes anyway. I have a dozen temp/humidity sensors and several dozen lights etc and my HA on a Pi 4 has no lag issues from it.

HA isn't (usually) the problem, the smart devices are. Our LIFX bulbs work almost flawlessly, and the Ikea bulbs using zigbee (not the ikea hub) are yet to fail, but the small number of Tapo bulbs require an API authentication that exp

> Idk if it's just me This is a widely held view amoung a lot of socialists and left-of-centre folks within America and globally. You could try "Chapo Trap House" podcast if you want to hear this point of view.

If it's a fallacy then it's one I plan to keep falling for because it's useful . No one inhales six apples in a sitting but I sure have eaten 200g of chocolate in an hour before. It's useful to go for more "natural

It's helpful thinking for bipolar or depression. When I learnt I had ADHD I realised my "acute depression" was just extreme exhaustion and that there was no need to be sad - that is just my System 1 trying to explain why I ca

Yeah, this entire thread seems utterly detached from my lived experience. LLMs are immensely useful for me at work but they certainly don't come close to the hype spouted by many commenters here. It would be great if it could handle mo

I switched back to google from DDG because I like the AI summaries for a lot of my searches. If your queries relate to physics and programming I find the AI summaries are quite useful.

Difficulty in finding good niche resources is not a new problem. Search enables it, but of course it still requires significant effort to actually surface deeper information.

AI doesn't have institutional knowledge and culture. Company 2 would be leveraging the use of LLMs while retaining it's culture and knowledge. I imagine the lack of culture is appealing to some managers but that is also one of it&

I mean the only real tell for me is how expensive this stunt would be. I personally think this is a really cool use of genAI. But the consequences will be far reaching.

To be fair you mostly hire McKinsey as a fall guy. You just can't hate an LLM in the same way as a bunch of 22 year Olds in suits.

Long excel formulas are really just bad "one liners". You should be splitting your operation into multiple cells or finding a more elegant solution. This is especially true in excel where your debug tools are quite limited!

To be fair, chatGPT has its own set of weird censors too.

Yeah you do. Australia has roughly 25 million people and yet we have had no mass shootings in 2024. America has had 200+ mass shootings this year but only 10x the population of Australia. The relative risk between Australians and US citizen

Yeah I can see how that could help for some. I guess it is just a difficult example for someone not in the USA.

Ohh I didn’t think you could get satellite images at this kind of resolution!

by ImaCake 2y ago
Yep, pretty common for different zoom levels to be different time points. ACME is using plane photography for its high zoom images. You could try zoom.earth for hourly/12hourly satellite imagery.

Yeah LLMs are pretty good at doing things like moving a lambda function to the right spot or refactoring two overlapping classes to a base class. Often it only saves five minutes but that adds up over time.

Especially considering that Peter Thiel, who was a partner at Y Combinator, was fairly involved in the Republican Ticket. This is very on topic for HN and rightfully so, even if the comments are a mess.

I mean Modi is (was?) the member of a radical nationalist hindu milita from the age of 8. Modi has been popularly elected multiple times so seeing someone similar win the US election is probably what you want to see if you are a BJP voter.
