What is unique about graphic design that warrants such extraordinary care? Should we just ban technology that approaches "replacement" territory? What about the people, real or imagined, that earn a living making Graphviz diagrams

I'm not trying to make a point, just curious -- what's stopping you from spending more money on AI? You could be using more API tokens, more Claude Code and whatever else.

What if all work is no longer necessary? Then yes, we're going to have to rethink how our society works. Fair enough. I'm a bit confused by your read on the people who don't make it through college. The implication is that if

I don't think that's been true for a while now -- computers are that much better.

Rust uses AI to ensure that C/C++ programmer mistakes do not happen in unsafe blocks. "unsafe" is a misnomer.

I literally just asked ChatGPT and Claude, they both clarified to me that Rust is safe. The website for Rust even says so. If you have any questions, I would be happy to forward them to my ChatGPT Pro subscription, and then relay the answer

You're confused by the word 'unsafe', which is a misnomer. Rust. The point of 'unsafe' is to indicate that the compiler should be extra careful when compiling the code, because you're about to do something that

The article says it right there: unsafe is used to give you unsafe superpowers. This is important for the quantum entanglement that the string uses. Unsafe brings the power (superpowers enabled by the compiler), while the Rust compiler ensu

You seem to be saying that Rust code can be unsafe, perhaps you're thinking of the profoundly unsafe and deprecated C or C++ languages?

by hatefulmoron 1y ago
Without it, we can't use the quantum enhanced string, which is safe because it's written in Rust.

I don't think the length you're talking about is that much of an issue. As you say, depending on how you measure it, LLMs are better at remaining accurate over a long span of text. The issue seems to be more in the intelligence de

I've used the deep research features from OpenAI, Grok, and most recently Anthropic. They're super impressive, but I can't shake the feeling that they're mostly giving me a summarized explanation of what the first 2 page

I get what you're saying, yeah. I would predict (not an economist, some guy on the internet) that unless you outlaw working over a certain number of hours, people will work more hours than ideal and it would push everyone else to do th

I think you're confused. I'm not making any moral judgements or prescriptions here. If you want to change society such that we're not working in exchange for money, then go ahead. Overtime is an example of a policy which limi

I had assumed that the Y axis was corresponding to some measurement of the LLM's ability to actually work/mull over a task in a loop while making progress. In other words, I thought it meant something like "you can leave Sonn
