Honestly, I really did do this for a while, mostly in response to comments like this, with some degree of excitement. I've been disappointed every time. I do use the LLMs for summarization and "a better google" and am constan

> maybe we should change that and have a simpler system with much less complexity Wholeheartedly agree, but I see the root cause of the issue being income tax itself. As soon as you tax income, you'll go down and endless rabbit hole

IIRC, this was one of the main arguments for the Articles of Confederacy, the states were pretty nervous about this exact situation. This was reaffirmed by Marshall [1] with the famous “the power to tax involves the power to destroy."

There's definitely a "both sides" argument here, but honestly that's boring and doesn't really move a conversation forward. The problem isn't simple, and there don't seem to be obvious answers - civilizati

This, of course, is the problem. There's a really painful Dunning-Kruger process with LLMs, coupled with brutal confirmation bias that seems to have the industry and many intelligent developers totally hoodwinked. I went through it too

The key difference here is that humans can progress. They can learn reasoning skills, and can develop novel methods. The LLM is a stochastic parrot. It will never be anything else unless we develop entirely new theories.

I keep seeing this. The "for now" comments, and how much better it's getting with each model. I don't see it in practice though. The fundamental problem hasn't changed: these things are not reasoning. They aren&#x27

Thank you for the link and the concrete reference, I hadn't seen that before. I think the article and the video summaries I've seen of that interview are a little deceptively edited, but the idea appears to be the same. Apparently

My understanding (please correct me if it's incorrect) is that the "worst-case" scenario for a broadcaster is that they may have to upload a record of political air time to a public file. If an opposing candidate sees this, t

Do you think there's a possibility that while they may love you and sympathize with your struggles, they recognize that with any policy some people will be negatively affected? The idea is to have political policy that minimizes harm a

I really wish they would start with "this is for next.js/react". I had to dig through the docs and get to the installation instructions just to find out that it's React only. It looks great, but I'm always confused

I know I'm in the minority here, but I've been finding AI to be increasingly useless. I'd already abandoned it for generating code, for all the reasons everyone knows, that don't need to be rehashed. I was still in the c

You are citing a source to tell a story about subsidies. Lack of worker safety standards can be considered to be a government subsidy when doing a comparison. Therefore, it's reasonable to point out that it should be factored in.

One option that didn't seem to be discussed in TFA is turning away from AI. There's an implicit assumption in the article that the coding models are here to stay in development. It's possible that assumption is incorrect for

> So you live in a world where code history must only be maintained orally? There are many companies and scenarios where this is completely legitimate. For example, a startup that's iterating quickly with a small, skilled dev team.

So, there's no such thing as degrees? When someone asks you casually "Hey, how's it going?" Do you tell them about your terrible day, or say "Not bad, and you?" There are differences in degree. No one is 100% h

With apologies, and not GP, but this has been the same feedback I've personally seen on every single model release. Whenever I discuss the problems that my peers and I have using these things, it's always something along the lines

I had a funny example of that. I had a question about how to do something in Django, and after googling found a good SO answer. I read through it thinking about how much I appreciated the author's detailed explanation and answer. When
