For me it’s about understanding why work is fulfilling, and I tend to see it as a way of solving problems in the world. But growing older I realize technology and science can’t solve most of the issues, and community and faith take a bigger

I never said the article should have solutions, or that the issues in the article are not problems, or that they shouldn’t be talked about. If you want to assign a point of view to me that I don’t believe then this is a pointless discussion

Taking the bare minimum of time to understand a problem before complaining about it isn’t toxic, it’s human decency that respects other people’s time. If I called out every problem with all the code I work with no one would ever get anythin

No but it is their job to understand it, otherwise you’re not contributing anything valuable, you’re stirring up drama. If I point to a light switch and call out it’s a problem that does you no good unless I tell you why, and why it’s like

I agree with most of the author’s points, but the post is overly negative in my opinion. It’s blaming other people for the problems instead of digging into why these problems come up in the first place. Why do managers waste time with busyw

Granted these are exceptional humans, but they are extreme examples of a capability that all humans have, but no machine has, which is coming up with something new. People underestimate the impact that innovations, true ones not the Silicon

LLMs can ask questions too.

by camjohnson26 4y ago
If you’re looking for proof you’re begging the question, asking for a formal proof of something that by definition can’t be proven, which only makes sense if your philosophical basis is that reality is a formal system. Other people have oth

by camjohnson26 4y ago
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if an LLM was many times better than a human at math, even devising new axioms and building a complete formal system from scratch would be impressive, but not game changing. These LLMs are very good at dealing

by camjohnson26 4y ago
Yep, it’s this. By definition everything we can ask a computer is already formalized because the question is encoded in 1s and 0s. These models can handle more bits than ever before, but it’s still essentially a hardware triumph, not softwa

Humans are at their best correcting and finding errors in the integration between automated systems. Yes we probably won’t have accountants manually typing data from a page into a computer in the future, but we’ll always have people reviewi

This is a popular take, but does it hold up to reality? From what I’ve seen most people have long expected AI to solve standardized tests, even more free form ones like the LSAT. LLMs’ new abilities are mostly just because of faster and che

I think this is key. I’m sure the listeners subjectively enjoying one version over the other, but not because the quality is any different. Instead they have the confidence that they picked the best option and can relax. Of course the real

Are there any online communities running these models with non professional hardware? I keep running into issues with poor documentation or outdated scripts with GPT neox, BLOOM, and even stable diffusion 2. Seems like most of the support i

I don’t know about that since it’d really just be a read only cache of public mastodon data. Account ids, follower counts, most recent posts, etc. but it wouldn’t support any of the write operations, you’d still need federation for that.
