I don’t have Peacock either. It would be great if folks would stop assuming this is on me and not Apple. There are Peacock ads in the TV app Home Screen, and they are targeted to One Family and Premier subscribers.

The cost argument is a fallacy, because right now, either you have a trained human in the loop, or the model inevitably creates a mess. But regardless, services are extremely cheap right now, to the point where every single company involved

You do need a clear definition of what this “LLM as a high level language” is supposed to be. Otherwise it’s all just wishful thinking. “It’s good enough” so it generates apps that could otherwise be boilerplate. OK, I guess? But that’s not

The output being the actual program output, not the byte code. No one is arguing that in the scope of LLMs.

If you cannot even provide a clear definition of what you want it to be, then this is all science fiction.

Then I don’t know what to tell you. I just opened the app again, and right there in the home section I’m seeing an ad for the Super Bowl in Peacock. If you don’t get that, great, but I’m far from the only one complaining about it.

I believe the author thinks of this problem in terms of “the LLM will figure it out”, i.e. it will be trained on enough code that compiles, that the LLM just needs to put the functional blocks together. Which might work to a degree with lan

After re-reading the post once again, because I honestly thought I was missing something obvious that would make the whole thing make sense, I started to wonder if the author actually understands the scope of a computer language. When he sa

For a single execution, to a certain extent, yes. But that’s not the point I’m trying to make here. JIT compilers are vastly more predictable than LLMs. I can take any two JVMs from any two vendors, and over several versions and years, I’m

COBOL was designed under the same principles: a simple, unambiguous English like language that works for computers.

by manuelabeledo 8mo ago
Using the managed runtime analogy, what you are saying is that, if I wanted to benchmark LLMs like I would do with runtimes, I would need to take the delta between versions, plus that between whatever memory they may have. I don’t see how t

by manuelabeledo 8mo ago
Even those are way more predictable than LLMs, given the same input. But more importantly, LLMs aren’t stateless across executions, which is a huge no-no.

Maybe you’re not an Apple TV+ subscriber, then.

There are people out there who truly believe that they can outsource the building of highly complex systems by politely asking a machine, and ultimately will end up tasking the same machine to tell them how these systems should be built.

I’m not sure what you’re asking. I clearly stated that the Apple TV app has ads when I open it from my Apple TV device.

by manuelabeledo 8mo ago
While I agree that third party advertising is not the same as playing trailers from other same platform shows, once you are in the app, these highly promoted shows are really hard to miss, regardless of how many trailers are placed at the

What’s your point, exactly? They are still commercials.

by manuelabeledo 8mo ago
I use an Apple TV. Maybe it’s just me. I’ve been an Apple One subscriber for a long time now. The Peacock commercial I’m talking about plays right when I open the app, almost full screen and quite loud. It seems to be some sort of add-on of

by manuelabeledo 8mo ago
I've been an Apple One subscriber for over three years now. For the past few months, as soon as you open the TV+ app, a Peacock ad starts playing really loud.

It's right when you open the TV+ app.

I suspect that prices and NIMBYism are driven by the higher classes, not Californians. Also, Hawaii is expensive for reasons way beyond the reach of NIMBYs, and highly influenced by travel corporations.

by manuelabeledo 8mo ago
Commercials in TV+ are as bad as ads in News+, e.g. it seems I cannot open the app without getting blasted at with a Peacock commercial.
