One of the biggest impacts of LLMs right now is probably in programming. The article says that the only thing LLMs are doing is replacing stack overflow (and hence the value is the value of stack overflow). While it's true it does repl

I wonder about the same thing in general for people taking this drug. I think the reason some people are overweight is because their body is asking for that much food not for the sake of caloies but to get adequate nutrition. (I am not sure

I don't think the backlash is about one person as much as it is the direction of the company. Doing something for the good of humanity is all well and good, which seems to be the boards position, but I think they really need to test th

Light and gravitational waves travel the same speed in a vacuum, but space isn’t really a vacuum. I wonder if this makes any contribution.

As CPUs get faster, memory gets bigger, screens get bigger, networks get faster and everything keeps getting better, one component of the systenm is not improving - the developer's brain. I think it just comes down the the fact that so

I got very lucky. My first guess was only off by 5.5 miles. If I knew the exact location ahead of time I probably couldn't have gotten that close if I tried, considering the zoom level of the map when I guessed it. That got me close en

When you look at quantum mechanics from Schroedinger's equation point of view, it is very simple. The implications of it are not, which is true of many simple systems. What is difficult in quantum mechanics is trying to understand how

This is something that clicked after a few hours rather than a few years, but it is similar in a way. A long time ago when I was a graduate student I was in the library one afternoon studying some idea in field theory (physics). It covered

What strikes me from reading this, aside from of words like "user" and "tarball", is how short the list is. Given that, inclusion on the list seems almost arbitrary. I don't think they have put much work into this y

I'm not sure why this was downvoted. I did leave out one thing - I think the Ghana government is making a statement that they don't want to transact in dollars. That is an important difference, but it is not related to the monetar

I don't think it is different, apart from any issues with timing of the buying and selling and price changes in between. I think this is more a question that the government doesn't have the gold and buying it from the miners is h

You know what's another one from physics whose name has nothing to do with the actual meaning - "Gedanken experiment"

I didn't see this said in the article explicitly but if the index funds start selling rather than buying, stocks like Apple will probably be OK, but some other stocks that have been propped up by the index funds may have no bid and the

I'm not exactly sure from what perspective you ask this question. As far as I know people misspeak when they say to minimize the lagrangian rather than find the stationary points (min max or maybe saddle). Applied to classical physics

I checked out one hike and it had good information. I think it would be nice to have a GPS track.

US Healthcare system is very good at what it does. It just isn't doing the right thing. Looking at it another way, the US healthcare system is far better at bringing in revenue than any other country's healthcare system, but like

They don’t show the phone after the fall because there is a big spider web crack on the screen. But relax, it’s an iPhone. Vibrate still works.

Wage inflation could accomplish this without forced redistribution. I’m hoping we get out if this with more wage inflation than price inflation, but monetary authorities don’t have the control to get a good outcome here (regarding inflation

When I started the article I thought it would be completely misguided, but there was a lot of good information inside. I just don't agree with the emphasis on counting calories. As the article says, we are bad at it. But supposing we c

I like the saying that people overestimate what will happen in a short time and underestimate what will happen in a long time. 50 years or longer would be a more interesting period of time to measure changes.

I subscribe to a different take on what has happened to interest rates the last 40 years. I think market driven rates have been going lower and the fed has just responded by lowering their rates. With interest rates so low, money is poring

Is the fediverse a new social network or a concept? I think there is hope for it as a general concept if, for example, the US government gets mad at someone like Facebook and requires them and other social networks/messaging platforms

I interpret the heading of the graph (not Marc Andreessen's tweet) to say there were 40% fewer small businesses opened on June 2, 2021 compared to Jan 2020. I assume that now we are exiting the pandemic the number is much higher than J

I like the way you say that. I was going to say that Ann can push to split the pizza 7-5 if it is OK that she is being an a@#hole. If not, she should split it 6-6. I think the author makes a good point in the article, but he should have at

Just to make a counter point, we only know when this doesn't work. We don't know the times people relied in diplomatic solutions rather than suffer these consequences.

For better or worse I think that is often the plan. First, presumably the government cares about the welfare of its people. Second it can make the people unhappy with the government.

There is something I don’t like about Face ID. The phone does not have the button press to know when to turn the screen on so it tries to guess. It often turns the screen on for no reason, and then buttons on the screen can acidentally be p

I assume someone would prefer developing on whichever machine they normally use. I have been a windows user for a long time and recently started working on a mac to write some iphone code. It is agonizing, but presumably not because there i
