If we back away from philosophy and think like engineers, I think you're entirely right and the question should be moot. I can't help but think, though, that in spite of it all, the Elon Musks and Sam Altmans of the future will

Philosophical thought: if the aim of this field is to create an artificial human brain, then it would be fair to say that the more advanced the field becomes, the less difference there is between the artificial brain and a real brain. This

Attestation is a compelling technical idea, but a terrible economic idea. It essentially creates an Internet that is only viewable via Google and Apple consumer products. Scamming and scraping would become more expensive, but wouldn't

Yeah, someone will probably make AI less damaging at some point. So let's not worry about it. That's the right mindset. Edit: it's sad that I'm not sure if the downvotes are because people can't tell that this is sa

It seems like the author has never worked on an interface that uses realtime UI syncing. The points about cumbersome and mundane issues when working with REST UIs are not wrong, but the challenges of working with realtime synced UIs are sub

To push this metaphor, I'm very curious to see what happens as new organic training material becomes increasingly rare, and AI is fed nothing but its own excrement. What happens as hallucinations become actual training data? Will Googl

The idea of open sourcing everything and nullifying patents would benefit corporations like Disney and OpenAI vastly more than it would benefit the people. The first thing that would happen is that BigCorp would eat up every interesting or

As our grade school teachers warned, my arithmetic skills are indeed brutally stunted thanks to calculators. The implications do seem even worse with folks using AI to do their technical debugging and decision making, though.

I remain perplexed that everyone is so focused on using LLMs to automate software engineering, when there are language-based professions (like Spanish tutor, in your example) that seem more directly threatened by language models. The only e

I take issue with the options of "RAY-ghex" and "RAY-jeks." In my experience you can say either "REH-ghex" or "REH-jeks."

They are useful if you don't care whether the information is correct, don't care where it came from, and don't care that it was stolen from publishers who in many cases invested time and money with the expectation of receivin

Coming from Figma this article feels like a poorly veiled plea for customers, disguised as thought leadership.

This take discounts the implications of the fact that the efficiency and cost of Deepseek's product are orders of magnitudes better, plus the project is open source. Those facts fundamentally shift the business conditions for LLMs.

Parallel universes enter the conversation because we (non physicists) can't identify any scenario explainable with classical physics that allowed those paths to be taken in the allotted time and space.

Tomorrow, LLMs will be able to perform slightly below-average versions of whatever humans are capable of doing tomorrow. Because they work by predicting what a human would produce based on training data.

Electrochemical cells (especially PEM electrolyzers) are notorious for containing materials far more expensive than copper (noble metals). But they pay for themselves much more quickly than you might think, if you can get offtakers to actua

Yes, thank you for answering on my behalf. To underscore this, the decision is whether to set up all of your dependencies and configurations with a tool like bash, or to set it all up within Docker, which involves setting up Docker itself,

I'm a waffler on this as well, increasingly leaning away from containers lately. I can recall one time in my pre-Docker career when I was affected by a bug related to the fact that software developed on Mac OS ran differently than soft

Sure, this a correct mindset, and an obvious one for people who build and maintain information repositories professionally, but at an average company with hundreds or thousands of people, it's a losing battle to enforce. Paying for Sla

It's true... the quality of content on the Internet has a bunch of problems, and AI is just one of them. The economic incentives to trick people into staying on your page and scrolling as much as possible are a fundamental part of the

The idea that they would give ChatGPT away to consumers for free without mining the data in some form or another is naive.

The partnership is structured so that Apple can legally defend including language in their marketing that says things like "users’ IP addresses are obscured." These corporations have proven time and time again that we need to read

Interesting stuff, particularly the estimation that 140 TW of solar radiation are captured by photosynthesis. In arguments about the efficacy of tree-planting as a climate control effort, I've heard about the effect on albedo radiation

The refusal by these companies to accept the realities of the modern printer market reminds me of the tagline that Michael Scott wrote for Dunder Mifflin: Limitless paper in a paperless world
