They don't have to have an in-depth understanding of leveraged finance to get pissed off when their doctors start doubling prices or their own employment conditions get worse or their parents get treated badly in care homes because the

If that's how it was being sold then it wouldn't be as controversial. But it's being sold both as "self solving AGI that will replace us all" and "useful tool for enhancing existing skill" when there'

That seems quite important. Definitely requires any grown up company to have to do a bunch of legal paperwork to use it.

When we moved to higher level languages we still had the expectation that software would work and/or be able to be improved. If it actively doesn't work or noone can use research because the originator can't explain it then w

If we can't reproduce the work or it doesn't work or it's not actually doing anything of value it's less like "handmade furniture Vs Ikea" and more like "handmade furniture Vs a bundle of sticks". I d

So what is an LLM bringing to the table if it's not just a fun experiment?

I think the comparison is unfair. Google had/have a product that was 10X better than anything else at the point of release (search then chrome). And they have several money making products like YouTube and android that are either singu

This isn't a conversation about the guts of query planners but postgres is known for what can only be described as gremlins in the query planner. But that is not the same thing as being non deterministic.

Only if someone is planning on running a pinned self hosted version of an LLM alongside the DB to fix the problem. The developer can change the binary easy enough and test it but the LLM approach just seems either theoretical or bending our

That bug is fixable and verifiable. The LLM you cross your fingers till the next time the same thing happens.

AWS go to great lengths to explain what Az replication Vs geo replication means in clouds. "All the AZ zones get knocked out" is down to the end user to decide if they want to pay the extra for geo replication and do the paperwork

That sure is convenient that "nothing has happened" so far between the plagiarism and the cybercrime and we may as well just wait for "the one true AI doom"

Funny you should try and spin the conversation off into climate change to avoid answering the question. Big AIs contribution to climate change likely has a much more tangible route to killing millions of people and destroying society and th

I'm reasonably sure/hopeful all of these discussions will be as important as people's discussions about whether using vim makes you a real programmer or not. "Does it work" is what matters. We already know that &quo

Nothing to do with special hacks with operators. The reason it's useless because the precondition is never true. "If my aunt had two wheels and a handlebar then she'd be a bicycle" Is the same problem with a non maths fl

OpenAI and Anthropic are so far ahead of anyone else in terms of compute demand generation. Iirc correctly they're like 70% of GPU demand between them on hyperscalers and then Meta is 10% and Google internal demand is some distance beh

I present to you my new theorem as follows: If 1 == 3 then 3 == 3 ---- This statement is 100% logically coherent internally. But it also doesn't matter because we know that 1 does not equal 3 so this proof is completely pointless. I co

This isn’t me advocating for maximum paranoia. I’m just saying that the “privacy” aspect of the API pricing is just a business promise. I do personal coding on API pricing with Claude mainly because a) I’m normally using it quite sparingly

You are reacting emotionally and making baseless accusations about how I’m somehow going to be “left behind” based on nothing much in particular. And this is in response to me questioning it’s not a bit absurd to dismiss thousands of member

1. People didn’t wear that as a badge of honour though. 2. A lot of it wasn’t. Low quality code/speed serves a purpose for point solutions and scripts etc. That’s not the same thing as writing a core system and if the user doesn’t put

Most people it's good at syntax and the error messages give you a good loop. But the domains rust actually makes sense in tend to be quite punishing on slop both culturally and technically.
