>pedantry I wasted 2 minutes of my life looking for the exponential reduction. So did many others. Now I'm wasting more of my life shit posting about it, but at least that's a conscious choice.

The man, or llm, used the mathematically imprecise definition of exponential in a sentence with a big-O notation. I don't think he's going to be writing entire arguments formally.

I understood every word, phrase, and sentence you wrote. But I did not understand your point. Still, I got the meaning of your words, so presumably you're satisfied.

Algorithmic? Big-O? Polynomially? Linear improvement? O(n^2) to O(n)? Or if you want to be less mathematically precise: enormous improvement? Using exponential in this way in any context is a faux pas, because it's highly ambiguous, an

Especially when the colloquial meaning derives from the mathematical meaning.

>Ultimately, we traced the issue to a 15-year-old Git function with O(N²) complexity and fixed it with an algorithmic change, reducing backup times exponentially. No, not in the exact same sentence as a big-O. That's either author e

The core models have plateaued. MoE and CoT are use of LLMs. Agents are applications of LLMs. It's hard to say how far novel uses and applications will take us, but the fiery explosion at the core has turned into a smolder. We'll

ffmpeg is high performance code dealing with esoteric codecs and binary formats in C, so don't sweat it.

The LLMs have reached a plateau. Successive generations will be marginally better. We're watching innovation move into the use and application of LLMs.

Python: dynamically typed, structurally typed, garbage collected, exceptions C++: statically typed, nominally typed, manual memory management, exceptions It's a big jump from C++ to Python. If you want a midway, use Go.

Because you haven't extrapolated from Python's niche. Those domains are derived from Python's accessibility. Python might be the most accessible big boy language.

You want a gas tax, and then you want to refund the tax to the poor. That's a no-op with extra steps.

It is the role of a central planner to pick a particular outcome, and it's also the worst strategy of the modern era. Everything which is not forbidden is allowed. Your belief that you should make the positive choice on behalf of other

Life-style should never be subsidized. God forbid that someone feels the repercussions of their life-style, which is the only feedback mechanism that will ever cause change. My moral system will stop global warming and save the planet. Your

Because you're only considering first-order effects. Behaviors, markets, and systems will evolve around the new rules. Public transit could improve. People could trade in SUVs for hybrid sedans. People could carpool. People could bike.
