I agree with the continual-learning deficiency, but some of that learning can be in the form of prompt updates. The saxophone example would not work for that, but the "do my taxes" example might. You tell it one year that it also

"The future lies with autonomous systems that can write code that makes them smarter in leaps and bounds. This self-generation is a kind of autopoiesis, which is the process of building one’s own parts, like a biological system."

Even if large language models (LLMs) stopped improving today, they still have yet to make their real impact on computer systems.

In Texas, local governments plant trees all the time. The problem is that they don't water them and they die.

I would imagine that if it is shameful among the established players to use AI, what will happen is that entirely new players will come in. For me, it's the story that matters, and if they can tell a better story with AI, then many peo

Not quite on topic, but I really value it when the film is shot in the place where it is set. The first episode of The Last of Us took place in Texas, but since it wasn't shot on location the trees were all wrong. Same thing with X. Th

I think about this from the angle of administrative burden. Sure, the tax code might be better if you make a tweak for zucchini farmers, but now you have to ask every taxpayer whether they have engaged in that activity.

Ah, but I need something JSON-based.

That's an interesting idea. It's possible there's a Dict[str,Any] in there. And yeah, my assumption was that it tried everything recursively, but I just wasn't seeing that, and my LLM council said that it did not. But I&

My problem isn't running out of memory; it's loading in a complex model where the fields are BaseModels and unions of BaseModels multiple levels deep. It doesn't load it all the way and leaves some of the deeper parts as dict

You would think. I don't know about this paper in particular, but I'm continually surprised about how much more I get out of LLM summaries of papers than the abstracts of papers written by the authors.

It's funny, you are kidding, with the impending death and such, but having it be able to look at what you are seeing seems useful to me. E.g., "How do I work this contraption?"

I was thinking of that scene/meme from Back to the Future, "Hey, wait, I've seen this one!"

I've finally come around to this way of thinking for two reasons. 1. Our concepts seem to overlap too much to ever explicitly lay them all out like a periodic table. 2. Our concepts seem to be too situationally dependent to ever be def

I thought you were going to say "smart enough to crash an entire company, but too stupid to realize that their intelligence should be put to other uses."

I think I drove that same car out of Frankfurt! But we had five people and luggage, so I guess it worked out.

It's just shorthand.

I've recently come to the opposite conclusion. I’ve started to feel in the last couple of weeks that we’ve hit an inflection point with these LLM-based models that can reason. Things seem different. It’s like we can feel the takeoff. M

It seems like you would have to wear them a lot to lose the ability to filter out noise naturally. Five hours seems insufficient, even for a teen. Maybe if you wore it all day? I want noise-canceling headphones that filter out all non-natur

That was pretty funny. Not sure what I took from it, but I like her sense of humor.

But there are fascinating things happening in the world, and there are stories I want to hear. I wish there was some way to see them without wading through all of the crap from people trying to influence my thinking.

I guess you could argue that climate risk isn't sufficiently priced in for some particular places, such as LA or Miami, but the article didn't seem to get that detailed.

I don't see the link to why home prices would be inflated. Maybe they are or maybe they aren't, but it doesn't have anything to do with fires. People still have to live places, even if risk from climate change is increasing.

Wow! This is beyond my expectations.
