interesting equality assumption: the title of the post says "successful", the title in the web page says "smart". This post have been flagged as uninteresting by my personal heuristic.

I don't think LLMs are inherently "costly" or "cheap". This doesn't really matter. Gold is pricey, but its usages justify the cost. Will LLMs, as they are used and evangelized now, have a true positive return f

we'll see if this increased return for companies will stay there in the long term, or create unforeseen consequences.

This is very interesting. It is great also as a reference for those that already now some CS. Ideally none should reside on youtube, given it is named "Open Source", but I get that a lot of resources reside there.

doesn't this assume both the external layer of the atmosphere and all of the earth to be impermeable to breath molecules?

Some companies may save money by employing LLMs to do shallow things. Others may not. Also, LLMs are not all AIs. AI is a broad field with many models and applications that were already omnipresent in our lives but less marketable to the ge

Interesting read. This seems hard to prove: "Everything lives on a manifold"

programming languages shouldn't have such primitives, because they're not primitive. Otherwise, people programming different stuff all the time, would need other primitives, and you'd have unmaintainable languages full of bug

that was my impression. Well, maybe paid content was more appealing to me!

I get your point and I agree to a certain extent. However, it's arguable that everyone shares the same aim, that is, to understand reality. Some want to go down a road, no matter how it got built, or, some think, or better don't t

the reason this works is the same as why HN is a good news source (with its limitations). No sponsored likes, just as people pay to submit obituaries. High range of topics, even if HN is narrower. So, it tells more about your usual search e

related advice: go to your local library and look at books in fields you don't know anything about. Find the most unusual book cover and title (compared to the others in the same section). That's usually something you want to read

there's an additional difficulty. Who told the man to build a road? This is the main stuff that LLMs or any other technology currently seem to lack, the "why", a reason to do stuff a certain way and not another. A problem as

it seems pretty similar to voting problems in political elections. No matter the algorithm you choose, someone will complain.

fair enough, but it is an arbitrary exclusion. Also consider that some EU countries were involved in the Balkans.

by fedeb95 1y ago
that is incorrect. Europe has had armed conflict since the second world war. Maybe not well advertised, but they happened nonetheless. I share your perspective though, that rules and trade should be continued in order to be even better.

Interesting story which I didn't know. However, the author perspective is a bit flawed: But the world did get more peaceful. There was no World War III, and countries at least had to pay lip service to these universal values of peace a

it's better to understand the theory before putting up some faulty production code.

yes. I find duckduckgo more on point and fast about what I need. Also, I don't have a limit for free usage.

LLMs take natural language as input and produces it as output (note that producing source code is the same thing). The algorithm that takes input and produces output is still written in mathematical precise symbols and needs to be accurate,

thanks for the information. In light of this, it seems pretty silly: economy on a world scale isn't a line, it's more like a ring (country A has a deficit with country B, which has a deficit with country ... N which has a deficit

they understand first order effects, but second or higher orders are seldom predictable in this matters. So the risk is huge. This massive shock will reveal hidden frailties.
