Your answer somehow suggests that solving such problems is merely "recognizing which algorithms to apply".. which is another way of saying that they are more "pattern matchers" than "true reasoners". I would th

Because we can assume that these problems necessarily cannot be in the training set of any current LLM (and are hard enough, i.e. they should be more than mere variations on existing problems), I'm wondering if they can be a good bench

For building a serious business CRUD app, to this day, I've never found a JS UI toolkit that matches the power and scope of the 4.X era of Ext JS: https://docs.sencha.com/extjs/4.1.3/

You say AI, but even more precisely: I believe that his ideas form the core basis of modern LLMs actually (their probabilistic word sequence modeling underpinning), which is indeed extremely impressive and deep.

I find that LLMs are precisely that: marvelous engines to explore "what you don't know that you don't know", about anything.

Could this be the answer I needed to run an SQL Server image that refused to run on my M3 MBP? I was about to, sadly, try Docker Desktop, because of that.

I very rarely wish the battery of my iPad Pro 2018 would last longer, as it's already so good, even considering the age factor.

You are not dumb at all, I think it's not terribly clear indeed.

I absolutely agree. Recently I had to work on a complex client app, and I could simply not believe the amount of trouble you have to go through when you want to increment the version number of things like React, MUI, webpack, TS by.. one!

What they bring in my mind that is deeply surprising is the realization that from such a simple objective function (predicting the next word) could emerge such a wide array of general capabilities. Before LLMs, neural networks accomplishing

What would it mean for forms to be "solved"? They are solved if you want to stick to boring/vanilla technologies. They are not if you insist on solving them, once again, with React, and then again with React hooks, and again

It didn't die per se I would say, it mainly got subsumed into more general programming and problem solving patterns (search, heuristics, A*, that sort of thing). What probably "died" is the dream that those would be sufficien

I find some problems of AoC are sometimes on the thin line between "it's interesting and I might learn something new" vs "wasting my time with under-specified or ambiguous problem specs".. Part 2 of Day 1 lies dange

I'm pretty certain that I saw somewhere recently that Sebastian Hinton is in the same family tree as Geoffrey Hinton (deep learning pioneer), along with an impressive number of other illustrious people (George Boole!).

For a category of software as "boring" as an OS is, I really agree that "just working" is the ultimate, almost sacred quality. I simply can't stand anymore the incessant ritual of software updates, and even the rhyt

I have done things with Ext JS that now take me forever with React + MUI. I miss it too.

I'm not sure about the clashing philosophies, but useEffect is certainly a "nexus of difficulties" about learning and using React (with hooks), in terms of the mental model it requires, knowledge of not-so-obvious JS concepts

I never thought of this, but now that I see your idea of the "two levels of state", I find it incredibly likely and clear that it's going to work like that eventually, yes.

When you think about it, adding "reddit" is a kind of counterpart mechanism to the rise of AI and generated content in a general sense. There's a real thirst for answers coming from real, genuine people, and adding "redd

It's interesting to draw parallels between the way you describe it and the way more general large language models (LLMs, of which Copilot is in a sense, a specialized instance, applied to code, instead of general language) operate: the
