> What a wild and speculative claim. Is there any source for this information? Not sure it's a wild speculative claim. Claiming someone had achieved FTL travel would fall into that category. I'd call it more along the lines of

We're more likely to get government by "honest AI" than for that to happen.

They probably figured the plots of "Succession" and "The Morning Show" could be...merged.

I've asked LLMs to do similar tasks and the results were very useful.

I keep seeing posts like this so I decided to video record all my LLM coding sessions and post them on YouTube. Early days, I only had the idea on Saturday.

The bugs were mostly caused by MBAs, who one assumes will remain.

I found the railroad part of the article unpersuasive. Optical repeater stations are fairly large and therefore wouldn't show up as random small underground vaults or little boxes on poles. These look like a collection of pictures of t

Probably true but I'm not going to lug 10 textbooks onto a plane.

Same. Mine is grandfathered in price from long ago. I couldn't work without it, although LLMs are becoming a good substitute for some subjects. The mobile app is a roach motel though.

Are partially processed wafers on Nvidia's balance sheet or TSMC's? Or are you saying Nvidia is holding sawn die in inventory? Confused as to what state the product might be in for it to make sense to hold for 4 months when suppos

People here are mostly too young to remember but the original Microsoft business model was this: Find a software market currently addressed by high price products; create a reasonably good product for that market; sell it for significantly

As someone who spent some time in "crypto land" and much time in the "real world", my surprise was usually that people seeing odd things in crypto land didn't realize that very similar odd things are also present in

This only works when the next thing is reasonably similar to the last thing. In my 40 years doing this it's happened exactly once.

Movie people are doing essentially the same thing over and over for 100 years. Everyone in the industry does things the same way. Their projects last only 1-2 years and are totally done once "in the can". In my experience this is

To be fair there are reasons to expect a sample of people from the DMV to be significantly less stupid than the population average.

I've seen product manager type people use LLMs to auto-generate product requirements docs. I know people who use AI to separate instruments from music tracks in order to learn them.

Disease can also be zoonotic. E.g. North America supposedly saw disease spread by wild pigs through the indigenous population before direct contact with colonizing Europeans.

Is there current generation LLMs do this? I suppose I mean "do this any more than human developers do".

That adds extra unnecessary complexity. The code is written in C. There are C compilers for all CPUs. So just call the C code from <other language that's not JS>.

What's going on with the brain of any particular person is a point in a very high dimension space. What doctors call conditions are regions in that space. The definition of those regions has something to do with understanding and helpi
