I was being partly facetious and I think this is probably the way things are going. I guess it's just hard to stomach that devs will end up relying on these tools more than their own intuition. But I suppose that ship has sailed alread

I can foresee a future of induced demand, where by making PRs "easier" to review, you will end up with way more PRs to review, leading PR backlogs as backed up with PRs as ever. Except now dev teams will have trust-me-bro LLM revi

Every big new model release we see benchmarks like ARC and Humanity's Last Exam climbing higher and higher. My question is, how do we know that these benchmarks are not a part of the training set used for these models? It could easily

Maybe it has guard rails against such things? That would be my main guess on the Zizian one.

There's a checkbox on whether you want to use it or not in the settings page, does this not change these settings? I don't feel opposed to them changing the browser in principle--certainly there have been many improvements to web

One thing I think this article overlooks is that Argentina was a superpower, at least before the Panama canal was built. Before that, pretty much all shipping between the Atlantic and the Pacific had to go south around Argentina and Chile.

I have a theory: all these people reporting degrading model quality over time aren't actually seeing model quality deteriorate. What they are actually doing is discovering that these models aren't as powerful as they initially tho

I've been reading a lot of (human-written) books lately, and one thing this has made abundantly clear to me is that AI writing just doesn't stack up. For one AI writing is often completely wrong about the details. But it also just

I have never once received threats of fines or jail time for their speech, nor have any of the Canadians I know. Are you aware that freedom of opinion and expression is very clearly spelled out in the Canadian charter of rights?

by briga 1y ago
By that line of thinking, Canada is just one country you can choose to live in. Certainly people here have the choice to move to other countries that they think has more freedom. I have a hard time thinking of any other countries that entir

You're posting that reply on a message board that, strictly speaking, does not have free speech. If I started flaming you my post would get removed pretty quickly. This forum is heavily moderated. Does that make it a better, or worse,

Certainly we are not perfect, but I think overall Canada has done more for the world to uphold human rights and freedoms than otherwise. When the government does act against "individual freedom", it is usually for the good of larg

This is a nice "just so" explanation, but I don't think it is telling the full story, or even most of it. Sure tax policy probably has an impact, but so do interest rates, AI, tariffs, inflation, geopolitical turmoil, rampant

Interesting how there is no mention of how the training data for this was collected. This does sound quite a bit better than Meta's MusicGen, but then again that model was also trained on a small licensed dataset.

I'm starting to feel like LLMs need to be tuned for shorter responses. For every short sentence you give them they outputs paragraphs of text. Sometimes it's even good text, but not every input sentence needs a mini-essay in respo

In my experience, AI is quite good at picking up new tools and techniques. In the sense that the models only need to be provided some documentation for how the new tool or framework works to instantly start using that new framework Gemini i

This is fun. I fed all the top entries in to qwen and asked it to generate a word that was EVEN BETTER than the top entries. I quickly got into the top 10, I suspect at this point it's going to devolve into people using more and more c

People don't want to interact with the human-generated content, why would AI-generated content change their minds? I have yet to meet anyone who uses the metaverse, and it's not for lack of funding on Meta's part.

Absolutely LLMs are great for greenfield projects. They can get you to a prototype for a new idea faster than any tool yet invented. Where they start to break down, I find, is when you ask it to make changes/refactors to existing code

I was actually just working on a project like this to digitize an old manuscript. I used a PDF scanning app (there are plenty, I used Naps32, simple but it works). And then I piped the images into a `tesseract-ocr`. This will extract the te

If there are productivity gains of 30% per engineer, doesn't it stand to reason that hiring more engineers would make the org even more productive? This is like the opposite of 2021 where every tech company went on a wild hiring spree

What wall? Not a week has gone by in recent years without an LLM breaking new benchmarks. There is little evidence to suggest it will all come to a halt in 2025.

Are they crappy though? Most of the time it gets things right, even if they aren't as accurate as a human. And sure, they probably have better techniques for this, but are they cost-effective to run at YouTube-scale? I think their curr

If you ask generic questions, it will give generic answers. The key is to include lots of relevant information and context in your questions. Yes a person might be able to provide more specific advice relating to your situation, but a lot o
