I generally will respond to stuff like this with "people do this, too", but this result given their specific examples is genuinely surprising to me, and doesn't match at all my experience with using LLMs in practice, where it

They're trained on plenty of code with bad variable names. But every time you make an AI think you are introducing an opportunity for it to make a mistake.

This was sort of a continuation of work he already did on 2001, but with the introduction of computer control. In 2001, it was all done with purely mechanical controls.

There are also a large number of people who have a deep-seated philosophical objection to the entire project of ai. It's not just about their job, it's about their sense of who and what they are as a human being, their soul or wh

I wonder if it would be helpful to be able to optionally view the full injected context so you could see what it is being prompted with behind the scenes. I think a little bit of the "man behind the curtain" would be quite deflat

It is interesting to hold in one's head the following two beliefs: Writing requires thought. LLMs do not think.

What causes stop and go is actually pressure waves that propagate backwards through traffic once density hits a critical point. When everyone is following at a reasonable distance (ie, there's a couple of car lengths between cars), if

The same way you fix parking problems and lots of other problems. You have regulations that require landlords to provide certain amenities.

Demand induces supply. Probably don't ban it _all at once_, but a gradual phasing out will give plenty of time for chargers to get built. They won't be _free_, but they will be available.

Error isn't exactly correct, either. Barring some kind of weird hardware failure, the LLM generally does the text completions correctly. The word "error" only comes into play when that LLM output is used as part of a larger

I think also keeping chats in memory is contributing to the problem. This doesn't happen when it's a tabula rasa every conversation. You give it a name, it remembers the name now. Before if you gave it a name, it wouldn't

The real problem with fusion power is that even if they figure it out, it still won't be cost competitive with solar and wind. Economically all the cost of building a "boil some water and turn some turbines" plant is _already

I sometimes think that the killer app for LLMs isn't that they are especially smart, but that they are infinitely patient.

Advertising killed the web long before AI did. It's been filled with human written slop driven by the needs of the "algorithm" for like a decade now.

Thematically it's a city builder. All games are just manipulating some numbers in a state machine if you strip away all the theme and ux.

This is a little misleading. Under Clinton, they could basically just turn them around at a port of entry. Eventually (2004) this was expanded to people within 100 miles of a border within 2 weeks of entering the country, and then in 2020

It could also be the case that you have to be better than average to even break into the industry as a self taught engineer.

Rationalists and Effective Altruism people fall for this stuff _constantly_. Roko's Basilisk being the canonical example of it. They assign infinite negative or postive values to outcomes and then it doesn't mighter what the like

Rust is really missing higher kinded types, though. You can do a lot of neat haskell tricks with it, but you still can't write functions that are generic over "monads" for example. You have to write a function for lists, a

What makes draws interesting or not depends on two things, what is happening on the field (were there good chances? A lot of goals? Interesting strategic play?), and also the context of the game. Does the outcome matter for your team, or
