Programs can solve mazes and LLMs can program. That's a different thing completely.

How do we know in advance if something it going to be hard enough? For example I have a bunch of closed PRs on my Vibe-Prolog project that took multiple attempts to get right: https://github.com/nlothian/Vibe-Prolog&#x2

My lightning connector on my iPhone 12 is completely unreliable - I need to twist the phone against the cable to get it to change. Fortunately MagSafe works fine!

Yeah I think I modified the Github action though the web interface for that or something? I don't recall. I don't think this is a violation of my (self-imposed) rules - it's supporting config, not code.

I've done something similar here but for Prolog: https://github.com/nlothian/Vibe-Prolog It's interesting comparing what different LLMs can get done.

For a while I was running LLMs in secure enclaves on AWS so I could do E2E encryption. Privacy without having to run a local LLM.

Not really. Do you mean targetting assembly output or written in assembly?

It's not like it's a single shot generation or anything.

The Asirra paper isn't from a ML research group. The statement: "Barring a major advance in machine vision, we expect computers will have no better than a 1/54,000 chance of solving it" is just a statement of fact - it w

The extreme form of the argument ("don't worry about the future at all") isn't what I'm saying. It is also immoral to not consider the future. But to put future lives on the same scale (as in to allow for the possib

It depends on the problem domain. I recently had a bunch of Claude credits so got it to write a language implementation for me. It probably took 4 hours of my time, but judging by other implementations online I'd say the average implem
