I'm sorry, it just sounds like you're mad at medical researcher for trying to make their research more accessible? What do you mean by oversell? And why do you think the general public would be more apt to understand "distinc

Off topic but I find it interesting that "this resonates with me" shifted to "I resonate with this" in colloquial English. Language is fun!

Ok fine I went and calculated the aggregate numbers and indeed the homelessness per capita in Europe (EU) is higher than the US EU: 1.1 million homeless people https://www.feantsa.org/files/Themes/Overview/202

I wanna see numbers showing companies and countries having excess growth due to these tools. Where are these data? It's all vibes, and the numbers contradict the vibes. There's 30 years of literature trying to explain the "pr

I have been doing some research on the 'productivity paradox'. Fascinating stuff. Turns out productivity growth stalled after the 1960s and has been very low ever since. No one can properly explain why. One thing stands out: inves

Yes thank you. They are trying to reframe the fact that their software doesn't do what they promised in the sales pitch as the proverbial "feature, not a bug".

I have great success in specifically asking LLM tools for academic literature after describing the problem or field I would like to get some insight into. It's usually the first step I take when writing research. I don't even read

The design characteristics require the storage caves to support 5 drawdown cycles using "raw water" - actual phrasing in official documentation. Also, the SPR is a complex system made up of several locations where salt massifs hav

I encourage you to do some digging using filetype:pdf on a search engine. The amount of documentation available on the SPR is fascinating. From what I found out, turns out the question of SPR design and operational limits is a complex issue

Hm I think in terms of "can I trust a group of people" we're talking about heuristics yes as in: "how can I quickly approximate an answer to the question of trust?"

I think this passage is more about the fact that mathematics is a form of symbolic computation people create and it is weirdly congruent to the physical measurements and models of reality. Not that mathematicians see certain models and obje

I think the mores of people building software that is made available as a conversational entity to the entire human population is at least somewhat relevant.

Agree wholeheartedly. I'd like to add: we can't know a priori what will be needed to be known and what can safely remain behind an abstraction you just use. That is revealed when our mental models grind against reality. Avoiding t

The fact that there's so much indirection between what happens in the registers and memory in the machine, the underlying reality being modeled by software, and the information displayed semantically to the users, is a travesty. Softwa

Another academic. LLMs are great for opening searches. I state what I would like to get into and let it get some initial paper recommendations. It seems to solves a hard problem: discoverability. Maybe I'm just getting subjected to mor
