What is especially egregious about the title is that "blending" requires stuff to blend. It's not all you need! It makes no sense at all.

The contents of a $30 book is available here, free. Yet the comment section will endure much complaining by those who feel entitled that the layout, formatting, and typesetting be given away for free, too.

Is anyone else distracted by all the emphasis, italics, underlines, and highlighting? When everything stands out, nothing does. Sorry for the off-topic comment, but I do think this is valuable feedback for the author.

This could be confirmation bias. All the times the progress bar just quietly did it's job, gave you some indication of progress and loaded without issue you are not likely to remember. But the moment it's "wrong" it&#x27

You said a lot of stuff, but can you explain, specifically, one thing you want your TV to do that a simple PC display + GPU could not do?

All docs are generated. Now some are generated by silicon.

Code is the ultimate reference for understanding a project, while documentation is often neglected, outdated, or incorrect. It can also be difficult to keep up to date. An LLM may not fully comprehend the code like the original author, but

Doesn't sound like a compelling reason against UTC. Add a leap second every 50 years for relativity.

So the moon gets a leap second every 50 years. Why does that prevent you from using UTC?

I'm sorry, but stop it with the "thou shalt not use black on white". _That's_ the predictable evergreen amateur design bro take. Once you realize that "appeal to nature" is a fallacy, you will be free.

by jamesrom 4y ago
Agreed, there are many reasons to choose pure black and pure white. Everything about modern design is "unnatural", this design rule is the "appeal to nature" fallacy manifest. If you need proof that beautiful things can

Maybe. But that doesn't mean it wont be a lot better than current-gen search by then.

Do you have any reason to think LLM cannot reference published work?
58.
by jamesrom 4y ago
Let's check back on this in a few years. The idea that a search engine can cite experts but a LLM cannot sounds wrong to me.

by jamesrom 4y ago
I'd love for you to explain how a search engine does have any idea of truth.

The main argument of this article is: 1. ChatGPT gets tripped up in some edge conditions. 2. Search engines provide some interesting features that ChatGPT doesn't. These are both bad assumptions looking forward: 1. It's evident th
