I've found AI to be a poor fit for writing when the task is getting an idea out of my head and on to the page. Works well enough when the task is taking some collection of already written information and creating writing based on it th

I'm building a simple agent accessible over SMS for a family member. One of their use cases is finding recipes. A problem I ran into was that doing a web search for recipes would pull tons of web pages into the context, effectively clo

Because there's a million and one things that could go wrong? Yes, we can make simulations. But the simulations are based on assumptions about the physical world. When the physical world doesn't obey those assumptions, things star

I share your frustration, but I think you're blaming the wrong group. The median voter simply does not care about climate change, and is not willing to shoulder any of the short-term costs necessary to address it. They'd rather ha

In every single reputable empirical study of housing, adding supply really does bring down prices. Your preferred policy solution would decrease housing affordability, hurting the very cause you profess to champion. If this truly is somethi

I've never understood the induced demand argument. Yes, when goods get cheaper demand increases. Or, to put it another way, when we make our cities more affordable more people want to live there. What's the problem? Sure, induced

Very cool model, but the post is a caricature of AI writing. "Okay, let's get into the nitty-gritty. What makes this little beast tick? These aren't just bullet points on a GitHub README; these are the specs that will fundame

The problem isn't that LLMs can't be critical, it's that LLMs don't have taste. It's easy to get an LLM to give praise, and it's easy to get an LLM to give criticism, but getting an LLM to praise good things an
