   Another top story on HN right now is how LLMs are finding errors in research papers. Maybe an LLM winning a Knuth bug bounty is a milestone on the path towards “AGI”?

    Tons of uses: Storage (text instead of images), search (user typing in a text box and you want instant retrieval from a dataset), etc. And costs: run on images once - then the rest of your queries will only need to run on text.

    Good list, but I imagine most programmers don't believe most of these falsehoods and are aware of a lot of these issues. It's just not always easy to deal with them correctly - and quicker/easier/cheaper to just do the t

    Nice Job! Editing "World Events" would be nice - perhaps just click on it to give option to delete. "SpaceX Landing" has nothing to do with my life.
