It regurgitates info in a way that is very specific to what and how you requested it. If you ask it a question already having an estimate of how accurate its answers will be, you can get a lot of value from it.

did you not adapt to google search by just typing keywords you know will get results instead of typing full sentences about what you're searching for?

I think this really underpins the difference between the people that say AI is useless and those that say it's enhanced many aspects of their day to day lives.

I agree. Strange URL, bare page, and the fonts are rendering oddly for me.

The Jewish couple also has a huge amount of community and family support that the secular couple has been stripped of.

I must be missing something, what other type of power would they be referring to when talking about solar?

...and my comment clearly isnt talking about that, but at the suggestion that its useless to write code with an LLM because you'll end up rewriting 50% of it. If everyone has an opinion different to mine, I dont instantly change my opi

I keep seeing this argument over and over again, and I have to wonder, at what point do you accept that maybe LLM's are useful? Like how many people need to say that they find it makes them more productive before you'll shift your

you can tell them what to do though right? I think a lot of variance between people that say LLMs are useless and people that say they are useful is people that learn what they are good and bad at and can predict the quality of the output b

I think this comes down to how you first learnt to learn. If I write notes in nodepad i dont remember them as well as if i write them by hand, but I think that's just a byproduct of years of school, and other people have learnt their o

I was hoping this article would be about some crazy new networking inovation from Valve!

it has been years since I read the book, but I'm surprised that there's so much hatred for it here. From memory it seemed like fairly harmless things like give things good names, try to make the code readable, dont comment what th

It's been a long time since I've read the book but I took it to be less 'cut the function at X lines' and more 'long functions tend to be doing too many things at a time'. I think if you're able to give a

Most people aren't building Formula 1 cars. Buildings are a better analogy: they are designed to be maintained. You can replace a door handle without replacing the door or the wall, you can turn off the power to different sections to d

I've spoken to several people who've said things like 'id never thought of using chatgpt for that'. I dont think the autocomplete is at all an attempt to guess what you're trying to ask, but to broaden your consider

All other factors arent constant though: EVs use their brakes much less.

Its the other way around. It's about giving people the attention they need exactly because they dont keep in touch any more, so they have a reason to come back to the platform.

There was a link here a few weeks ago about UK energy that said that only about 30% of the cost of energy is the cost to produce, the rest is the infrastructure and the costs to pay some suppliers to stay online in case they are needed.

For simple questions like this with unambiguous answers, it is statistically very unlikely that you'll get a bullshit answer from an LLM.

That many posts from friends would represent months worth of my friends posts. For most people facebook doesnt show friends posts because no one posts anymore.

I think maybe this is where the polarisation of those who find chatGPT useful and those who don't comes from. In this context, the number of r's in strawberry is not a fact: its a calculation. I would expect AI to be able to spell

They do lie in a predictable way: if you ask them for a widely available fact you have a very high probability of getting the correct answer, if you ask them for something novel you have a very high probabilty of getting something made up.

If I had a senior member of the team that was incredibly knowledgeable but occasionally lied, but in a predictable way, I would still find that valuable. Talking to people is a very quick and easy way to get information about a specific sub

Not really no. The models that are replying to fans directly are just saying whatever they need to to get more money, often from scripts theyve written beforehand. The ones that do well offload the communication to an assistant, so the fan
