When did I say I wasn't doing and just reading. That is your own heavy bias creeping in.

Your initial response post was to me, and you absolutely injected the heavily biased assumption that I was doing no active learning.

Sifting through information to separate truth from fiction is a modern, experience-based skill that I’ve developed YES. However, your perspective on how LLMs are used might be too narrow. While no one is suggesting using an AI to find a one

You are very closed minded. LLMs can absolutely give pragmatic and fast information in a useful (non-sycophantic form). You need to examine your extreme biases here. Just because you can't use a tool doesn't mean the tool isnt use

Nonsense. Absolute nonsense. Ive crafted LLMs to create drills and practice exams etc. Im not just reading about new sport activities, or videography/photography or linear algebra or physics. I'm putting it into action. As I said

You really just need to augment with tight prompting and know how to extract information and links to peer reviewed literature and well sourced information. Once again, technology here is a lever. Separating wheat from chaff has been key in

Im learning new things at a pace I never imagined at 40 years old. New sports, new businesses, new academic pursuits. Technology is a lever and AI is the biggest lever we've ever had. It enables laziness or incredible productivity. Cho

What is your question here? Has anyone considered monte carlo search for code gen? Yes. Alphazero etc. Surely the labs extensively research ideas like this. Do you have a specific task you are inquiring about?

I just (vibe) coded up a little block training app for skateboarding. I noticed that the vast majority of skaters don't land anything consistently and just huck their skateboard around. Unlike in other sports where people follow some s

Most skateboarders don’t land tricks, they just huck boards around haphazardly. This was an idea to bring an ultra barebones mvp to skateboarding to see if people might like the idea.

Voting for separation (as oppose to actually separating) is absolutely in the best interest of most Albertans.

You cannot be serious. The Freedom convoy may have been misinformed but the government response was an absolute disaster and the courts have agreed.

Entropy balancing cannot fix unobserved confounders. "Teasing out causation" is exactly why this methodology fails. You are confusing the intended purpose of a statistical tool with its real-world validity. No one is questioning w

I know what a linear regression is and how to examine event studies, lol. What you don't understand is that the author is leaning on linguistics to insinuate strong evidence of causation where it doesn't exist. If this was a quant

"Entropy-balanced Poisson and synthetic difference-in-differences event studies" LMAO does the author really take themselves seriously as they type that. This author has no understanding of statistical methods. This sort of articl

Of course the market can and this is a silly question. These issues are tiny amount of money for the global capital markets to swallow. Masa Son has endangered ostrich eggs for breakfast worth more on the daily. I kid, but seriously this i

Exact same argument for crypto though. It is all just supply demand. BTC has much more demand currently and likely more sustainably. Alt coins are just less popular. It is all just supply vs demand.

by hodder 4mo ago
We do this now with something even less intrinsically valuable than tulips: BTC. It all just comes down to supply and demand.

Spot on. That is what I was trying to get at.

It's a specific subtype of Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. They "know" AI cant do their own jobs, but it seems pretty good at summarizing what others do without understanding the nuance. It seems to really apply to the AI Lab CEOs

I think you are thinking about this wrong. Don't approach a business from a UI and code first attitude. You need to focus on solving a problem well. The other stuff will come once you have paying users. Take OpenAI as an extreme exampl

This is a "wishful thinking" take that ignores a brutal reality: AI isn’t just a tool; it’s raising the cognitive floor for employment. We are rapidly approaching a point where the baseline IQ required to contribute at all will su

The irony of this SHOW HN is that "just roll your own" was the classic OG critique of Dropbox before they took the space rocket to unicorn land.
