The hilarious thing is LLMs tend not to say "I don't know", so it might find a reason, but if it doesn't, it will just make shit up.

At least in elementary school I don't see the deficiency in common core math compared to what I had 30 years ago. My kid has been exposed to a wide variety of topics sooner than I was, and she's way stronger in word problems on t

Off the top of my head I don't have problem with this, but the topic is about declining scores so I'm not sure how relevant this is.

I've been working on a client/server game in Unity the past few years and the LLM constantly forgets to update parts of the UI when I have it make changes. The codebase isn't even particularly large, maybe around 150k LOC in

This is where the old line of "LLMs are just next token predictors" actually factors in. I don't know how you get a next token predictor that user input can't break out of. The answer is for the implementer to try to s

I wouldn't personally do so, but arguably those tens of thousands rest at our feet considering the current government was political blowback from the US and UK regime changing Iran back in the '50s. It's even less likely to w

Bad code works fine until it doesn't. In my experience, with humans, doing the right thing is worth it over doing the bad thing if your time horizon is a few months. Once you're in years, absolutely do the right thing, you'

Imagine thinking people losing their primary income source (usually 100% of it) is remotely comparable to the share price of a single company not going up 2%.

Unfortunately since PG&E is a regulated utility it's not that simple.

Having multiple kids can make things much harder too. A child that is easy alone may not be easy with siblings. Parents flex for children because there's a lot of things we don't care about. Little Timmy wants to go first? That&#x

There's definitely a balance here. Not giving a shit, which seems to have been the tradition I was raised in, is not great. Recognizing problems is good. Acting on all of them is bad. You need to raise grounded kids who can grow into

It's difficult to translate what you're saying. You say "go to visit" which implies you don't see your friends with kids very often. If true you're in a poor position to make these judgements even by your own

I smile a bit and give a chuckle when a toddler is giving a parent a hard time. It reminds me of simpler times. The problems and consequences are so much smaller than teenage problems.

Having kids becomes a lot easier if you can do the things you enjoy with them. For me that includes all sorts of stuff such as D&D, warhammer, painting miniatures, drawing, magic the gathering, board games, etc. I also include them wh

Programmer as defined here, in my experience, is a job that has never really existed. Sure, they've tried many times to create this divide - going back to the beginning of programming (originally considered secretarial work) - but ult

In the early days of the internet, there were roughly 3 categories of views I remember: 1. Brick and mortar is dead. 2. The internet will die. 3. What is the business model? (this one still seems to exist to this day to some extent, lol) Re

If what you state comes to pass there will be no "surfing" when it comes to cognitive work.

I've been working on a client server unity based game the last couple of years. It's pretty bad at handling that use case. It misses tons of corner cases that span the client server divide.

You're misreading the hesitation about going into places like Iran. It's not because we think the regime is/was good, but rather because of the completely predictable next 10-50 years of shit we're going to experience as

Merch. NFTs. Playing cards. Crypto coins. A phone. It's like we have Dennis Duffy as POTUS. If it were 40 years ago it would be like Reagan starting his own MLM.

I track my grocery spend and even with three growing kids it's gone up 18% the last 6 years. It's not scientific but I don't see how your statement can be true unless by "many items" you're not talking about th

Avoiding every corporation that does stuff you disagree with just isn't feasible. All we can do is weigh their business model and other practices with the value we get out of it. People on Reddit who also have a problem with Reddit a

If you're using something like a fire tablet and you set them up as a kids account that's not how it works. If you next through everything your kid cannot play minecraft online, not even on your own little private server. Getting

Seems like red team is incentivized to write tests that violate the spec since you're rewarding failed tests.

Really? I love LLMs because I can't stand the process of taking the model in my brain and putting it in a file. Flow State is so hard for me to hit these days. So now I spec it out, feed it to an LLM, and monitor it while having a cup

Uh if you worked for a top company or something. Most tech workers have made relatively ordinary salaries the last 20 years.
