This and the the other thread that talks about RL and synthetic data seem to suggest that AI can figure out all the technical issues without humans looking into them. I'm not sure if that's true at all.

Wouldn't this be worrisome? People used StackOverflow and generated new knowledge along the way. Without such medium for discussion, how can we feed models with up-to-date quality knowledge?

> by being the one to discover the way of the future This is my understanding too. The underlying assumption is that action leads to information, iterations lead to enlightenment. So from an org's point of view, tokenmaxxing means e

Mostly boring, but in upper zone 2 and sometimes zone 3 does not help. Yeah, I find it helpful to run outdoor. It’s particularly enjoyable to run in a trip because the routes will be unfamiliar

I wish I could do the same, but the running(even at low pace like 6mph) is too taxing without something fun to listen to

On the other hand, some companies are pushing the idea that engineers should build robust self-evaluating agent pipeline with human feedback in the loop so that agents write most of the production code. Creao's CEO said that they rearc

Do you listen to anything while walking, or just listen to nothing while letting your mind clear itself?

> YouTube is eating itself from the inside out too One thing that I really really hate Youtube for is that they don't allow users to turn off their shorts. You can choose to "reduce" Shorts for a given session, but they co

It’s a good decision. If an IDE can do everything that a CLI does and it surely can, then I fail to see the point of a CLI. It’s not like an IDE can’t emulate everything a CLI does but better, faster, and more interactive. It’s not like one

Curious: what motivates the Canadian government to implement such law? It's not like Canada wants to be a police state in anyway. On the contrary, Canadian government looks pretty chill most of the time, except maybe during the Covid e

Maybe it's just me, but isn't it exhausting that we have to do all kinds of work like a Shaman to combat the probabilistic nature of LLM, while knowing from the bottom of our heart that LLM can still screw up the code in the most

I think the top three people who deserve the hate are Amodei, Hinton, and Joshua. They are the pioneers of the field, and they could have been more objective and laid out exactly where AI does well, where AI falls short, and how we can buil

There's no need to ask about anything confidential. Meta published a lot about their internal tech stacks, and they use plenty of open-source stuff. ZippyDB, Interview candidate can also talk about generic stuff, and I can drill on the

Not familiar with Microsoft. But it's definitely amazing that Google managed to grow itself to one of the most bureaucratic companies in the past 15 years. And yeah, it's bloated as hell.

Let's be honest, Meta over hired. Big time. If anyone ever interviewed a few Meta engineers, he would easily see that a large percentage of them had really small, and sometimes bullshit scopes. As a result, such engineers couldn't

Maybe this is exactly why Meta poached Alexandr Wang. Data capturing is an heirloom technique passed down from his Scale AI days

With the current AI wave, a fun question to ask is: which of these laws do people think no longer apply.

> I thought you were gonna go the opposite direction with this. Debugging is now 100x as hard as writing the code in the first place. 100x harder if a human were to debug AI-generated code. I was merely citing other people's beliefs

Maybe it’s just me, but it’s pretty obvious that screens, such as iPads, are bad for kids' education. The homework on apps like i-Ready is mostly just crappy multiple-choice questions. I fail to see how that actually helps students. Th

Yeah, I'm sure there can be exceptions. When the US was super strong in manufacturing back in the 50s, the US dollar was also strong, or at least relatively speaking? That said, the US over the years outsourced their manufacturing, clo

Some also argue that the RAM price keeps rising because of the bullwhip effect. I was wondering if there's anyway for us to differentiate a sustained demand from the bullwhip effect.

And a strong currency usually means weak manufacturing. And I don't know how a country can be strong without a solid manufacturing sector. Like, when we a war breaks out, we ask our enemies to sell us components and medical key ingredi

Question: how likely is it that a number of 20-year olds have the passion of solving the problem of compliance auditing? I can hardly imagine that I'd even be interested in taking a look at the domain. It's just... so mundane. Or
