Yes, it's the CS majors who are murdering a quarter million Americans annually due to preventable medical errors (including misdiagnoses based on radiology readings), good point. Nobody, and I mean nobody beats physicians at the Arro

And yet, you're threatened by an empty office, which is also trivial. Introverts and extroverts will never understand each other. This entire thread is pointless.

You can blame normies for this. They love their ridiculous point and click (and tap) interfaces. Fortunately, with function-calling (and recently, with guaranteed data structure), we've had access to application interoperability with L

Precisely this. Aider (with the older Claude models) is already a semi-competent junior developer, and it will produce 1kloc of decent code for the equivalent of 50 cents in API costs. Sure, you still have to review the commits, but you hav

They don't now. No FF-LLMs do, simply because of their architecture. But eventually they (RNNs, likely) will. And we won't know when.

From what I've seen, Claude Sonnet 3.5 is decidedly less "safe" than GPT-4o, by the relatively new politicized understanding of "safety". Anthropic takes safety to mean "let's not teach people how to build

Not to mention: - If you're scared to perform upgrades, this is a good indicator that you lack confidence in your backup/recovery/reversion policies and procedures, probably for good reason, so maybe fix that.

It will always be infinitely amusing that Musk has gone from a walking-on-water Nerd Jesus to a mustache-twirling Bond Villain on this site in the course of a year.

Geohot has multiple (and ongoing) rants about the sheer instability of AMD RDNA3 drivers. Lisa Su engaged directly with him on this, and she didn't seem to give a shit about their problems. AMD is not taking ML applications seriously

Indeed. There's also bioglass compounds like Novamin, etc that will literally remineralize your teeth, and in many cases, reverse caries. Xylitol gums and mouthwashes are a game-changer, as well. The entire dental industry is only in b

Yes, it's hard to tell if you're capable of objectively viewing the absurdity of modern politics. The left is very clearly attempting to curtail the right to free speech, free association, and economic freedom. The right is very c

Good point. If you move the goalposts such that the word "meat" is specifically defined as only lean skeletal muscle tissue with the fat trimmed away with surgical precision, you can win the argument. Sure, if you speak to actual

Inference is super cheap, and getting progressively cheaper. Greenlighting training a new foundation model is very expensive, but is also a human decision that can be postponed based on available capital.
