I think you missed the part where I had to give them hinits to solve it. All 3 initially couldn't or refused saying it was not a real problem on their first try.

You're assuming we're saying LLMs can't reason. That's not what we're saying. They can execute reasoning-like processes when they've seen similar patterns, but this breaks down when true novel reasoning is requ

I've done this excercise dozens of times because people keep saying it, but I can't find an example where this is true. I wish it was. I'd be solving world problems with novel solutions right now. People make a common mistake

The key insight is that LLMs can 'reason' when they've seen similar solutions in training data, but this breaks down on truly novel problems. This isn't reasoning exactly, but close enough to be useful in many circumstan

After getting hit on my ebike by a car requiring a shoulder replacement, I now think it's reckless to ride an ebike in a mixed urban suburban environment like San Jose. There are too many distracted drivers.

Thanks for sharing this. I do something similar but not in such a structured way that I could give a name to.

It seems to me the motivating factor is Russian leaders and Russian people consider Ukraine to be part of Russia. They have no historical evidence for this except the late Soviet Union, so they make it up.

It seems likely that MIT acted to preserve the neutrality and structure of its official commencement ceremony. The student reportedly submitted a different speech in advance, then used the platform for protest. Institutions generally react

A post-divorce girlfriend of mine claims she lost her mind at a private screening that was held for her and some posh English friends. It sounded horrible.

It was forgettable because it was unspeakably depressing. My great-grandfathers had to live like that but they worked hard to provide their descendents with better opportunities. I'm retired, old, on a fixed income and live alone so I&

I assume that buying a machine gun to single handedly murder a biker gang is outside the scope of most of our experiences so not worth mentioning. The real end for me was him alone in a cabin with a barrel of cash. To me that was a more rea

I don't want to get too political, but just to say Melei in Argentina with his chainsaw had a mandate from Argentinians. Musk didn't have a mandate. "I didn't vote for this" was a common refrain.

The fact that the right associates Catholic liberation theology with Marxism actually makes Marxism look good. If raising up poor people is communism then maybe I should study it and not reject it like I was taught

There is a lot of over-hyped trash because people want to be the next billionaire and AI field is wide open. I'm not about to throw the baby out with the bathwater. There is real intelligence being born here.

Your last line made me think of telescopes: bigger mirrors bring in more light, but they’re harder to keep in focus due to thermal distortion. Same with ChatGPT. The more it knows about you, the richer the connections it can make. But with

I didn't know that, but in that case there are a lot of young men and women on HN who are financically successful, but are tremendously unhappy. That's the case for me when I looked into it 25 years ago.
