The idea that any of those attributes could arise out of an LLM would be surprising to say the least. They do not maintain a continuum of thought for which those things could exist within. In the case of humans, those things are not just th

I suspect the logistics of having such a ship close enough to the conflict at the right time would be the biggest challenge. You wouldn't want to drag them around with you on larger ships. I think you're right though, there's

I guess I struggle to see how it's easier to print debug, if the debugger is right there I find it way faster. Perhaps the debugging experience in different languages and IDEs is the elephant in the room, and we are all just talking pa

The cost benefit is really poor, but I also wonder if it's just never been done well. Old text adventures honestly did this heaps better than modern games do, but the reality is there was a more finite action space for them and it wasn

I would say local LLMs are already good enough for this. It might be an issue that the GPU is already quite busy at the time it's needed for LLM inference, but not an insurmountable issue. I wouldn't ever want a game to use it for

At some point, in order to keep share prices from collapsing, we will all accept that actually, creating documents was the point. The biggest investments will go to those who can create the most documents, we'll innovate on new documen

Yes, the restaurant is not tracking me across the city, and it does not contain malware (although I guess you could get food poisoning). It would be amorale if these services were not exploiting everyone they can, including the creators. Th

That's a fact that sounds like a good thing, but could just as well be a bad thing. Why does it take less of it, and does that impact the environment downstream less?

It is a disservice to yourself and family to not block ads. You shouldn't let these companies have a conduit into your life. I don't think it's amorale to use the service for which you are blocking the ads for either. If they

Fluid and natural are pretty different concepts, perhaps "intuitive" better maps to what you mean? Humans aren't that fluid, certainly wouldn't be when it comes to vaulting, jumping etc. Playing a game with realistic FPS

I don't think LLMs are building towards an AI singularity at least. I also wonder if we can even power an AI singularity. I guess it depends on what the technology is. But it is taking us more energy than really reasonable (in my opini

Then I hope they vote next time. I am not as optimistic as the parent comment, about a US recession being of benefit to the rest of the world. I think we're all various degrees of fucked if it all falls apart, though it is probably tru

That is my impression of travelling to the US right now. Non zero risk of baseless detainment and deportation, and a non zero risk of being sent to a different country than the one you live in. No thanks. I'll stream the conference onl

I worked on a system that did some calculations for a user after submitting a form. It took milliseconds to crunch the numbers. Users thought we were faking the data because it was "too fast", after enough complaints and bad revie

I feel this way about a lot of topics. Concepts are extremely fun to explore and easy to get enamoured with. But actually doing real work in some topics can feel totally disconnected. You might love mechanical engineering and machines so yo

It's an interesting point, I experience it the same way. Disconnecting the anxiety from the topic you are relating it to is a very powerful tool. If I am feeling anxious, it is not necessarily because of the thing I was thinking about.

To defend myself a little, I never said rigid land ownership was not still what I would prefer. But tying significant value to land and allowing individuals to hold it has some downsides.

Rigid land ownership seems to be the source of a great deal of our troubles.

But it sure does help tip the scale if it's feeling too expensive. So you'll get a lot more people contented, in a shallow sense, by their phones. Not wholy satisfied but enough to not go use or travel to the real thing for now. I

That's a fascinating observation. I happen to study Japanese and my first language is English, and the reversed order is often cited as one of the bigger hurdles to language acquisition. I feel it too, it's a higher context langua

That's the worst part of stringing a bunch of cloud together. Auth, keys, config, credentials expiring, logging back into everything all day. It smooths out the brain. Give me a box, trust me with ssh keys and things are so much easier

I had a team member who would reiterate that during tough times. They come from much more consequential work, so they would often remark that at least nobody dies when we fuck up.

Exactly, same for microservices I feel. Why have enterprise org problems if you don't have an enterprise org.

I think you hit the nail on the head. What enterprise are paying for is abstraction of responsibility. Suits would never criticise going with Microsoft or Amazon.
