You don’t think there is such a thing as “understanding” a subject? Knowing the fundamental buildings blocks of that subject? Rearranging those building blocks within other domains to make new discoveries? A few days ago you commented, in r

Eh, they said models, which can mean hyperspecific domains, not necessarily a massive generalized LLM.

Fooling yourself into thinking the LLMs are "understanding" what you are saying or asking is a trap. The output you get may be useful, but it is not due to any sort of understanding. The elements of human work you mentioned are wh

There are ways to put a superficial personality on the LLM which can break up some of the mannerisms that get old. Give it a new accent, allow it to keep a memory of things that nudge it into one personality or another, make it behave diffe

I think thats a good start probably haha. I am not a manager, and have not had a "good" one in a very long time, so I have no resources unfortunately. That isn't to say mine are bad, they let me be autonomous as an IC and I h

Good managers are fairly rare, even though every manager probably thinks they are a good manager.

When you say they didn't work, what does that mean? Opened 10-20 and they all opened as a PDF or a webpage(albeit some don't have HTTPS certificates).

The OP specifically referenced a steering wheel as it relates to weight, so that is what I went off of. Try to not overthink things.

I feel like in this case, the “Amazon or Netflix” example is particularly bad because I feel like I’m actually drowning in streaming providers. You will also typically have the option to simply opt out, although this is getting less rare. I

Somewhat of a weird example…the one without a steering wheel could be autonomous, or the place you want to get to is in a completely straight line from where you start. Also in your example you have both cars without steering wheels.

Interest payments, wars, tax cuts are rounding errors?

That, interest payments, UFC fight night flyovers, ballrooms, wars, tax cuts. I would go as far as to say that the only things getting reduced funding are education and science research, but that’s just a hunch.

Funny, because while science and research funding is being cut…the debt is still rising faster than ever, because I still see taxpayer money flying towards useless things more than ever.

Not totally, because the deal is in stock. The cash SpaceX got is actual cash that can be deployed today. The stock will be in a lockout period and could be worth nothing or something whenever the lockout ends.

Now that we have trillionaires running around, it may not seem like it, but it is a considerable amount of money in most of the USA. In many parts of the world it would be considered an unfathomable amount.

I would look up the arduino UNO starter kits on amazon or adafruit. They are more reasonably priced, have more components, have more tutorials.

I think walking for around an hour at a time, with no music/earbuds, can be extremely enlightening. I find the first 15-25 minutes my brain is doing like a “cleaning” cycle almost where I think about very surface level things, and then

"On the economics, things worked." I would argue that they didn't. 25$ per hour for custom design work seems very low, I understand maybe trying to get a customer base but at that rate you are just going to get repeat custome

I think a broad tax would just make it more difficult for middle and lower class to fly. Tax the business/first class and frequent flier, but don't push people who can already barely afford to fly out.

This is likely because the blog is AI generated and keys off this point from Karpathy: "As a preview, by the end of the script our model will generate (“hallucinate”!) new, plausible-sounding names.", so the LLM just repackaged th

Its interesting to me that over the last 10 years of working in agile teams, not one team has analyzed burn rates to see if we are doing better/worse over time. Its like every sprint is a clean slate and no one actually gets better at
