Yes but you have a) no idea how bad the suck will be b) no idea how long the suck will last and c) what the "better" will look like. I am not advocating that the status quo should go on, I am just saying that the repercussions wil

Its baffling that you think the collapse of the USD would have no negative ramifications on the rest of the world...

by mym1990 9mo ago
It will also be a global problem and not just US citizens, as the dollars underpins a vast amount of global wealth and trade.

The big time suck I see with robotic anything is that simulation for training will only take it so far...eventually it needs to be in the real world, making mistakes, and this comes with far more red tape and much higher risk, slowing down

Its kind of crazy that the knee jerk reaction to failing to one shot your prompt is to abandon the whole thing because you think the tool sucks. It very well might, but it could also be user error or a number of other things. There wouldn&#

There is absolutely no way you’re passing OMSCS tests if you’re winging it on the other assignments, and the tests usually account for over 50% of the grade. Certifications you’re right about but there are ways to test knowledge without ask

I don't think watching the lectures is the hurdle that anyone at OMSCS is trying to jump. The program has a pretty low graduation rate, and the tests are known to be fairly difficult, which essentially requires the student to do work o

This just reeks of you being insecure and thinking online education is of lower quality than in person education. Are you also pining for everyone to go back to the office? The degree GT gives you is literally the same thing as the in per
99.
by mym1990 11mo ago
The OMSCS degree you get is equivalent to the in person one, so there is no way to make the distinction in an interview. I actually don’t see how people see that an experience like this brings no value, given the rigor of the assignments.

I did not think of it as over AI generated, it just looks like a fun site with an aesthetic that goes along with that theme. Cool project!

Loss of a loved one is a very specific event, intelligence is a very broad idea that isn't even well defined. I have no idea what this means: "concepts on orders of magnitude higher levels than hormones". I guess your intelli

by mym1990 1y ago
I get the sentiment though. Happiness is a mix of the right hormones firing, so the question is: how does intelligence affect different types of hormones, if at all. Given how sensitive our hormones are, it would be difficult to control onl

Knowing almost nothing about memory and the brain, I don't know if I agree with "Every memory your brain has ever produced is still there". Memories seem to be constructed by a group of neurons together, and it seems clear th

Eh, proofs and logic have entered the room!

Yeah I guess it really depends on what the measure for success is. As with all things, the answer is probably that products that work really well or are beloved are often a combination of money and passion. Unfortunately, once the product&#

"If there’s someone out there who just sits on the beach all day and survives by eating coconuts" This seems like a dire situation for most humans and probably isn't the status quo for human operation. Its perfectly fine to s

I would guess a lot of intrinsic motivation is driven a lot by hormones and things like dopamine release when you do something that is really interesting or exciting. I play tennis and absolutely love it, I will never make a dime from doing

English does have precise meaning, if constructed to be precise, the issue is that LLMs do not assign meaning in the way humans assign meaning. Humans assign English meaning to code every day just fine, and sometimes it does result in bugs
109.
by mym1990 1y ago
I would probably agree! I came off sounding as if there is no human in the loop. What I meant is that input is still the programming language that is produced and output is the result. Not that the LLM is the initial input. A human in the l

by mym1990 1y ago
Would be curious as to how you check and verify LLMs? And how you get guaranteed correct code? Verifying code produced is a much simpler task for some code because I, as a human, can look at a generated snippet and reason about it and det

by mym1990 1y ago
If LLMs still produce code that is eventually compiled down to a very low level...that would mean it can be checked and verified, the process just has additional steps. JavaScript has a ton of behavior that is very uncertain at times and I&

My argument is that the point is whether its advantageous to allow companies to continue to grow because whether a company has a monopoly or anticompetitive edge is the central argument behind breaking them up. By allowing companies to be

Sooo you launched https://sibylline.dev/ , which looks like a bunch of AI slop, then spun up a bunch of GitHub repos, seeded them with more AI slop, and tout that you're shipping 500,000 lines of code? I'll pass on

by mym1990 1y ago
I don't think the question is whether monopolies are being allowed to exist, my question is what is the source as to WHY you think it is happening. A source would be any kind of proof that having a monopoly in one country is a strate

by mym1990 1y ago
Any source for this? My hunch is that there is so much money sloshing around that government interests are easily swayed and conflicts of interest are relatively common now.

Hardly an apt analogy. Hiring is asynchronous, there is no line? Sometimes I go to the bar and if the bartender knows me, they’ll give me a drink on the house. Is that messed up too?

I would argue that intellectual laziness can and will lead to cognitive decline as much as physical laziness can and will lead to muscle atrophy. It’s akin to using a maps app to get from point a to b but not ever remembering the route, eve

Sorry, I meant that masters could identify smaller sets of pieces as invalid instantly, but that both masters and amateurs would be able to memorize 64 piece board with enough time.

For whatever its worth, I bet the chess master would be able to instantly identify that it is a random/invalid board position, aka an invalid world state. I think the experiment you are alluding to gave both groups a very limited amoun
