Gimme a small website with 3 endpoints: website.domain/deep website.domain/wide website.domain/show Both "deep" and "wide" should record a list of every IP address:port combination that hits the URL, as we

To be honest, I would lean toward making small projects for that goal, but that might be my bias. Taking things from zero to one is a much different endeavor than fixing stuff or adding features in an existing project, though the benefit of

For both cases I think it's less that there isn't convenient syntax for it, and more that the generality of the syntax doesn't restrict you enough to enforce the pattern. For example, you can do a decent job approximating a m

I spent the first bit of this article going "Wait isn't that just what a finite state machine is?" and then was subsequently super satisfied by the next bit where they say that this is indeed a really good way to handle the g

lol you really are one of these AI cultists huh? Do I get to hear "it's a godsend for the untalented" for the 28043rd time? Your proposed model for adoption doesn't "show up the elites", it destroys the ability

Aye. My internal mythological idiolect's trickster deity mostly serves to personify the game-theoretic arms race of deception and is in a near-constant state of cackling derisively at the efficient market hypothesis

Eh, I was already good at checking things in parallel from a combination of wikipedia and google scholar, and so it seems like this use case of LLMs is just a more expensive, higher error rate version of a workflow a lot of integrated multi

I didn't, and my point was exactly that it's not a great one, so I think we largely agree here

Directly security-focused products like lastpass are the only things that have any market pressure whatsoever on this, and that's because they're niche products for which the security is the only value-add, marketed to explicitly

Cool project, has discord changed its policies on third-party clients? I mention this because while it's of course possible to make interoperable things, Discord has a nasty habit of trying to shut them down, so publicity may not be yo

"Competent" is subjective enough, we needn't add a "semi-" to it Programming is a huge field and no one's good at all of it. Also, people learn really differently. I like learning by building dumb little projec

Played with this a little more and I think the assessment at the end is both the weak link in the UX and a very illustrative debugging tool, not only of LLM limitations, but oddly, the format of internet debate I've thrown about a hund

I mean I get that people are doing that but it mostly seems like a way to poison your information stream by multitasking in-depth recitation and thereby making yourself vulnerable to what I'd call "recall exploits", where peo

To be frank this is the opposite of how you should use an LLM. It's not going to be useful for diving deep on stuff that needs factual accuracy. It will on the other hand be useful for giving you shallow overviews you can drill deepe

Weak debates but great spectacle I kind of wonder if systems of LLMs are going to become its own new entertainment medium

As someone who spends almost all of my productive time on earth trying to solve problems via algorithms, this paper is the kind of take that should get someone fired. God I forget how much stupid shit academics can get away with writing. Ri

Weird, based on the wording of the questions and the categories they presented I kind of just assumed that each question only pertained to one of them. If they're doing something more complex I didn't notice it. But maybe they hav

There's a world of difference between machine teaching approaches that can create a less complex model from a more capable one and bootstrapping a more capable model from synthetic data. And don't get me wrong, it's still ver

Interesting test. I apparently am about as high as you can likely get a percentile score to go for the number of questions here on inner voice and representational manipulation, and as low as possible on mind's eye and orthographic rep

I think there's always a pressure in balancing the ability for anyone to contribute to the software ecosystem with the convenience of a unified interface. Many people who like Apple's ecosystem seem to really want one extreme of t

Needed this today. I think sometimes engineers go crazy and go try to greenfield something, anything, because building stuff requires it being in a nonfunctional state for a sec and this is hard enough on its own but there being (understand

I like this idea for a lot of reasons, but I think the best reason to like it is that it presents a compelling technological vision of the future that motivates upending and destroying the incumbent model of the world realized by the modern

Two things can be true at once. We live in a big world and in that world, there are many things that warrant our anger, some of which are more important or urgent than others. Yes, it's probably more important that there are two wars g

Or just communicating the emotion! I think aligning on an emotional layer of perception is important for shaking people out of automated behaviors when it's necessary to, and I dislike this cultural shift toward punishing doing any of

I mean you make some very good points but you sound like you could be kind of mildly upset if I squint at it right so I think you should really be more mindful and adopt a positive additude before I will even consider listening to anything

Okay but we're not talking anger that's expressed by violent behavior or even clear significant loss of control, I'm talking people on the internet can pick up the mildest hint of anger from your tone or even subject matter.

As someone who spent an inordinate amount of time trying very hard to be less angry despite having a lot of good reasons to be, a chunk of which overlap with this piece, I get a lot of dismissal from people who seem to think any expression
