I agree that people want things in theory but aren't willing support the policies necessary but that's why we need a movement to help change that. Also I think it's important to consider what we call a community. We can'

The idea behind the YIMBY movement is not that community input is bad it's that the community input process structurally encourages input only from people who don't like the project. The point of YIMBY activism is to show up in yo

It's such a weird comment that has nothing to do with the rest of the article. The YIMBY movement is concerned with people saying no to housing, it doesn't say anything about community input on assessment or anything else. It seem

I am more referring to my experience in general not just in the thread. I see this PhD thing a lot in the media.

It's not that I think model version doesn't matter. I switch between them all the time (often to downgrade as much as upgrade honestly). It's that I think people are misrepresenting the kinds of results you can get from these

Thank you. It is so frustrating that you hear that LLMs are a PhD level intelligence capable of any task you can throw at it and when it can't solve your problem you hear: "well you are using a1.36 and b1.37-high is really the one

I have had a pretty similar experience to you. I have found some value here: - I find it is pretty good at making fairly self-contained react components or even pages especially if you are using a popular UI library - It is pretty reliable

This isn't really the meaning of the Chinese room. The Chinese room presupposes that the output is identical to that of a speaker who understands the language. It is not arguing that there is any sort of limit to what an AI can do with

They may be different kinds of issues but they are the issues that actually matter.

I think it actually makes sense to trust your vibes more than benchmarks. The act of creating a benchmark is the hard part. If we had a perfect benchmark AI problems would be trivially solvable. Benchmarks are meaningless on their own, they

I agree on the diminishing returns and that the code doesn't cut it on its own. I really haven't noticed a significant shift in quality in a while. I disagree on the productivity though. Even for something like a script to do some

Setting aside predictions about the future and what is best for humanity and all that for a moment this is just such a bummer on a personal level. My whole job would become the worst parts of my job.

I feel it doesn't make sense to conflate resource management with garbage collection. The cleanup actions here are more like releasing a lock, deleting temporary files, or closing a connection. This doesn't lead to a lack of safet

It doesn't seem to be widely used yet. I used it to clean up temporary files for a loader that downloads them.

I just wrote a blog post ( https://morsecodist.io/blog/typescript-resource-management ) about this feature. I love it and I feel it still hasn't caught on in the ecosystem.

This is a super fair summary and has shifted my thinking on this a bit thanks.

No I think almost all people doing altruism at least think what they are doing is effective. I totally get that they EA people believe they have found the one true way but so does do others. Even if EA is correct it just makes talking abo

Effective Altruism is such an interesting title. Almost no one views their Altruism as ineffective. The differentiator is what makes their flavor of Altruism effective, but that's not in the title. It would be like calling the movement

Subjectively the "getting lost" feels totally different than human conversations. Once there is something bad in the context it seems almost impossible to get back on track. All subsequent responses become get a lot worse and it s

This matches my experience exactly. "poisoned" is a great way to put it. I find once something has gone wrong all subsequent responses are bad. This is why I am iffy on ChatGPT's memory features. I don't notice it causin

I feel that people are so weirdly negative about Google's products. I have some concerns about Google but I need to admit their products are good. I think a lot of people on here don't like them as a business and it clouds their v

I see a lot of concern like this about dependencies, mostly in node. I'm sure it's an issue I'm just not convinced it's as big of a problem as people say. We have scanners that can help keep your dependencies secure auto

I totally agree with the sentiment. I am pretty skeptical of this sort of broad advice. People who achieve success did so under specific conditions. It is unclear which aspects of their strategy are universal and which were only effective u

by morsecodist 1y ago
For me it's the opposite. We don't really have a reliable way of getting the models to do what we want or even to measure if they are doing what we want.

Agreed. I have had almost the same experience. The package management and building alone makes Rust worth it for me.
