OK got it. I guess this is a good call out or whatever then from you all, but, I gotta say, the point can't help but feel a little incommensurate to the $8.8 billion elephant in the room.. Like even in the original article, this is lik

OK interesting. Who specifically are these other subsidiaries that clearly account for this loss though? I get it's just a trueism for those in the know like you, but it's pretty fascinating for me at least! Like is there one ex

Maybe I am little confused here but what you just described here doesn't sound great either? What smaller entities who OpenAI is parent to lost 3.74 billion dollars? Or maybe just can you point to some primary sources about this? I a

How can it be both irrelevant and cliché?

This seems fine but things being the same "on functional grounds" is just one way things can be the same. Why should we privilege this framing as something definitive versus another conceivable one? On functional grounds my bike h

Ok right, but then I don't see the original point. Or like, you don't seem to be appealing to a hard science/soft science distinction here if the question revolves around what conceptual model is most "useful" to us

Why is the brain probabilistic instead of deterministic?

I think of all these responses this articulates my point the most. If humans would struggle with it, why is it still supposed to be "spatial reasoning"? And underspecified or not, you frame this exactly in the way an LLM would tac

I guess I just don't have an intuition for why that is different from what it does for non-"spatial" things. Like the fact that it works is still because it produced the code it did token by token. Whether its dealing with, e

Why does it require knowledge about spatial relationships?

Oh huh well OK. thanks anyway?

I don't know, this more and more feels like a sentiment projected on to people than anything real these days.. Like even in that linked thread, is personal offense like you lay out here really were you can place Laurent Pinchart&#x27

Man was really excited for some poker-themed computer science blogging like back in the day but really I guess shoulda known huh :/.

I am just trying to (gently) suggest you did not frame your points here in a good or convincing way, but thanks for the explanations here anyway. Sure sounds like there would be a lot to think about either way!

Kinda some kettel logic here no? Is it not rigorous enough, or is it in-line with typical failure rates?

Currently the top one has a nice kind of supervillain flair to it: > Denying it is denying human nature, Mr. Bond, and the gods tend to punish the hubris of denying nature.

I get the point but I do feel like Htmx's whole design is a big automatic fallback... If some browsers will never be able to understand the hx-get/post/etc attribs, you can just design the initial html you send over around th

Why is it still considered a 'privilege' if everyone should absolutely be able to use it?

by beepbooptheory 3mo ago
Hm OK, thanks for the lesson here. To be clear, it kinda seems like in your original comment you are using both the (a) and (b) senses, but just making a prescriptive point about (b), right? I think in this schema, I am still saying a good

by beepbooptheory 3mo ago
In your mind, why are the second kinds of things here not "criteria" or "heuristics"? (Also you can enclose things in * to emphasize on this site btw. There is a little grey 'help' next to the comment box.)
83.
by beepbooptheory 3mo ago
I get your point but by your own reasoning here you can't ignore these things because you are also choosing to be principled in your own way here, right? Like you need to know, at the very least, what to avoid if you absolutely must

I am not sure if I would bet one way or another on who has the richer ecosystem here.. They are both great. I would probably wager elpa has more packages in general than quicklisp, but maybe not necessarily richer/higher quality.

Well my reply elsewhere in this vein seems to have been flagged to death or something, but.. OK. If its really just that, then yeah I am guilty of expecting maybe a little more intellectually here then is apparently warranted. Thanks for th

But it explicitly says it provides the wearer with happiness, it is "supernaturally effective" at it. Where as a reader are we supposed to gather this is not an internal happiness? Come to think of it, its not even clear there is

OK, so there is a magical device that provides you with deep contentment no matter what. But then, when you die and they cut your head open, the physical, biological brain has shrunk. And that's bad. Is that right? Is this what it&#x27

This is not what Plato thought, this is not even what Plato wrote that Socrates thought. You are referring to the Phaedrus . You should read it! Its much better than this story, trust me. But either way, people's minds do not wither i

You mean like LLM AI? Seems a little too early for that no? Either way, what is it right about? In your mind?

This came up the other day, can someone help explain this to me? I am not quite sharp enough to understand it. Context: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48911884
