You haven’t heard of Flutter?

I have no idea what you are talking about now. You claimed to be able to write a program that can pass the LSAT. Now it sounds like you think the LSAT is a meaningless test because it... has answers? I suspect that your own mind is attempti

Is love just a (complicated) biochemical reaction? Of course not! But also yes, of course it is.

You think that it’s being fed questions that it has a lookup table for? Have you used these models? They can answer arbitrary new questions. This newest model was tested against tests it hasn’t seen before. You understand that that isn’t a

Most humans wouldn’t meet that bar. Most humans can’t even pass these tests after studying near-continuously since birth.

Assuming the range of intelligence spanning all the humans that can pass Calculus BC is narrow on the scale of all possible intelligences. It’s a guess, of course. But, the requisite concepts for getting Transformers working are not much br

I am struggling to imagine the frame of mind of someone who, when met with all this LLM progress in standardized test scores, infers that the tests are inadequate. These tests (if not individually, at least in summation) represent some of s

You honestly believe you could hand write code to pass an arbitrary LSAT-level exam?

We’re rapidly approaching problems (AP Calculus BC, etc) that are in the same order of magnitude of difficulty as “design and implement a practical self-improving AI architecture”. Endless glib comments in this thread. We don’t know when th

You can use Flutter as an imperative framework. Just ignore widgets (the reactive top layer of Flutter) and use the underlying imperative elements directly.

1. Humans have not been eating cows produced by modern methods for millions of years. Cow diet, genetics, and lifecycle is quite unnatural at this point. (This is the overwhelming bulk of cow consumption, of course your local micro farm pro

We will continue to debate whether these programs are "just programs" up to and beyond the point they grow capable of reducing civilization to dust. The linked blog post and the associated paper are important from the perspective

Discussion about the relevance of Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem trilogy to US defense strategy with respect to Chinese perspectives. Two things I found interesting from reading this journal article: 1. There exists an academic communit

It can be, but the reality is that it largely isn’t. You can refine your own iron if you’d like, but most people do not.

Imagine thinking modern factory farming is anything as simple as “putting a cow in a field”.

The cost of sorting has to then be factored in (because plastics are often not perfect hydrocarbons, they contain a variety of elements depending on bulk composition and additives). And, even perfectly sorted plastics will not burn as clean

I have a similar story with chemistry. I’d also like to get back into the sciences, but I’m not sure how relevant programmers are.

I agree that there should be repercussions for the damage she caused, but the whiplash of this comment is pretty funny. I’m not sure how advocating for another person to enter the US prison system demonstrates any sort of empathy.

In my experience if someone uses the term “brainwashing” they are not trying to have a real conversation, they are trying to avoid any nuanced conversation actually.

“You either memorized the solution to the random leetcode problem you get or you fail as far as I understand it.” No? You can actually use code to solve problems. Don’t buy into the defeatism surrounding leetcode interviews.

The second set of graphs must be in error, correct? 67% have attended conferences but only 0.7% have networked...? Only 0.7% have discussed their career with peers/colleagues? That's impossible. Did they forget to convert these de

PoW doesn’t magically address the interface problem with the real world. I have to assume by now that any responses in the crypto world that amount to “this coin will fix it” are made by people that own that coin. No further analysis is nec
