That was the second time a simple physics experiment blew my mind after I understood it. The double slit experiment was the first one.

Your homepage has an animation where a list of credit and debit transactions are labelled assets and liabilities. That does not bode well to a provider of accounting software.

That's pretty much how it felt when I experienced an ego death on mushrooms. My sense of self shattered and I could feel that I was emerging from a deep resonance in the consciousness of my cells.

Would uber then drop you off in a random address sometimes? Or, maybe worse, would someone be able to make your uber drop you off at their place by sending the driver an sms before you even started the ride?

I'd love to see SimCity 4 re-worked. That game feels like tending a little zen garden of urban life.

I really like this channel and it just helped me further my understanding of physics a little bit so I wanted to share with you all!

The rebellion is literally called 'jihad' in the book. A very religious desert people engaged in jihad.

The stand off is the point. It gives nationalistic talking points to the government leaders, and a reason to write big checks to defense contractors.

There doesn't seem to exist a good solution in computer security. You either strain the user, and then they will cut corners and make things less safe, or you strain the business, and they will manage and outsource the liability to sna

Got you, I was a bit on edge from previous not so fun exchanges on another thread. I go by Feynman's logic: if you can't explain it simply you don't understand it. Redundancy doesn't seem to me to be a good thing in docu

I guess I managed to say the same as you but with less words. /s I wasn't mocking op, I was referencing Mark Twain

Game changer is getting right up there with the worst of engagement bait. Since I'm on the topic, way too much "everyone missed" and "everyone gets wrong" in titles recently.

They are both puppets of forces they don't fully understand.

TSMC has a massive 65% of the market. There is no way Samsung or any other player can plug that whole in terms of sheer capacity before a quite long investment cycle.

LLM output isn't 'error' or 'hallucination' because it can only resemble human language. There is no intent. There is nothing being communicated. If LLMs output text, that is always the correct output, because it is

Goes both ways. Your extending the line in some particular way from the past couple of years isn't much more than an article of faith.

"People took a cursory look at a codebase I published and found glaring mistakes they discussed publicly as examples of how bad it is" is not the flex you think it is.

Protip: when you block a user in github it let's you add a note as to why that will show in their profile. It will also alert you when you see a repository to which that user has contributed.

Do you realize that giving LLMs 'instructions' is merely trying to blindly twist knobs by random amounts?

Errors are a category of well understood and explicit failures. Slop is the best description. LLMs are sloppy tools and some people are not discerning enough to know that blindly running this slop is endangering themselves and others.

Chainsaws are deterministic. Using LLMs is more akin to trying to do topiary by juggling axes.

The backlash will be enormous. In the near future, there will be less competent coders and a tsunami of bad code to fix. If 2020 was annoying to hiring managers they have no idea how bad it will become.

Prompt injection means that unless people using LLMs to generate code are willing to hunt down and inspect all dependencies, it will become extremely easy to spread malware.

These are just database update transactions. The money only has to have come from somewhere when the bank's books are balanced.
