I think many people are really underestimating the "intelligence" of an LLM. People have this misconception that LLMs are just complicated Markoc chains, predicting text based purely on probability. They are not. As it turns out,

Also worth noting even the enterprise edition of GitLab is source-available, it's just licensed differently and is found in the 'ee' folder of the GitLab source.

AlphaGo is also “already knowing” the same way LLMs are. At the end of the day they are just neural nets trained for different tasks. The training process is the “figuring out” part in both cases.

I had this happen to me when I got into running. I went on a trip for 2 months and let my injuries recover. When I got back into running, I had no pain and haven’t had for more than a year. I’d say give it another try, I think a lot of the

Yeah, agree. The article takes "bears killed by trains each year" and then "one guy said sometimes they are drunk on spilled grain" and then interpolated for hyperbole.

I'm not denying there are challenges and potential bad outcomes with this, you're asking valid questions that I don't claim to have a good answer for. My point is that the WEI proposal is trying to solve a genuine and increas

That is definitely a possible outcome which is why I believe people are right to be concerned about a proposal like this, however my thought was that if there were many trusted providers it would drastically reduce the likelihood of a scena

After reading through the proposal, I really don't think it was that bad. As a recap, websites never see any information about your device but basically receive a 'thumbs-up' from a trusted provider that your browser is &#x27

Only they know what's in their dataset. They have said previously however that they spend an immense amount of effort on curating a high quality dataset, so they probably are wary of this.

When I was a student, it felt that time was pretty much infinite, it was just about what you decided to prioritise. After working full time for a few years, it quickly becomes apparent that when the obligations start rolling in, you have to

There are strict rules about recognising IP on a balance sheet to stop you from just slapping some value on your own work and saying "Yep, we're worth a billion dollars!". There are some cases you can do it though, mainly the

Both would be good. My experience working on open source projects involved months of working with the maintainers and community to reach consensus on designs and implementation details. That is a very useful skill, but you aren't going

Only you can answer this. Really ask yourself if it's a problem with your discipline, or a problem with your motivation. If it's a problem with discipline then you need to figure out a strategy to improve your discipline. Pomodoro

I think similar to humans, creativity will be an emergent behavior as a result of the intelligence needed to pass other tests. Evolution doesn't care about our art, but the capabilities we use to produce it also help us with survival.

I'm no expert on LLMs, but I've always found the "it's just predicting the next word in a sentence" trope to be a huge misrepresentation of what LLMs are actually doing. To me this is a really cool example of how LL

There's potential for abusing a sent request, but because most people won't accept them it basically removes the incentive to bother abusing it. It's at least much less abusive then calling people.

I was thinking that, or you have to accept a request from someone before they can call you for example.

In terms of communication channels being spammed: I am actually hopeful for this because it will just create enormous incentives for us to rethink our communication channels to be much more selective. For example, moving email to be a pull-

In large organisations, these kinds of managers get to where they are by maximising visibility and building their brand. That can be hard to do remotely unless they’re used to it.

What bubble? If you mean the hype bubble of every company trying to build LLMs into their product, then yes. IMO LLMs will render a lot of existing software obsolete or at least so fundamentally change the way we interface with them that th

Wishing those affected by this the best. As far as layoff emails go, this is one of the better ones. No nonsense, clearly they tried to make something work and it did not and they're owning that and providing good support to those affe

Yeah that’s what I was referring to. Still open source, but the move was controversial because it was taking away some freedoms from users of the previous license.

The author calls out they are specifically talking about open source solutions that compete with paid offerings. IMO, the jury is very much still out on whether open source "wins" in this regard. In the past decade we've seen

GitLab is still an open source project (the core of it is MIT licensed) and using your own runners has always been an option. Also, free accounts on the SaaS version get free CI/CD minutes as well.

Many people love C for its simplicity but dislike some footguns of C like lack of bounds checks, lots of undefined behaviour, lack of modern features like package management and easy cross compiling etc. When Rust came along it solved a lot
