I think a majority of content consumers can already distinguish LLM content from human content. I'm looking forward to the day that they're intelligent enough to care, but I'm not holding my breath. Orwell framed it pretty we

by noduerme 4mo ago
Yeah, but it's kinda weird. The typical LLM headers and bullet points are there, but it's like someone took an axe to the rest of the spew. I too would rather read someone's original bad writing than their bad editing of AI w

I don't think anyone would debate that. But if someone is going to go with a completely unverified "everyone I know" scare tactic about a common medical procedure, then I might as well respond with the fact that everyone I kn

You're suggesting people undergo endoscopy without anesthesia? You go first, bud.
245.
by noduerme 4mo ago
I'm not sure what you mean. I've been under general anesthesia a few times and not had any negative consequences. My dad has had multiple brain surgeries, and he's fully functional. Most people I know have been under at least

Americans, who mostly have no experience living or traveling abroad, can be counted on to not be able to find any of the countries you mentioned on a map. They either view all of Europe as either a sort of socialist utopia with fancy prison

Shelter is as constant a cost one way or another as keeping yourself in food, water and oxygen. I paid rent for most of my life, and suffered the leaks and the mold and broken heat pipes and once a collapsed ceiling. I've lived in at l

Okay, you're worried about too much data and false positives, but that's a problem you can get around by smoking a pack a day and not going to the doctor. The vast majority of people on the planet have exactly zero hard data o

What about accuracy?

by noduerme 4mo ago
I don't know about you, but I force myself to read the whole spaghetti thought process of any AI that's actually working on code, and make sure I understand what the hell it just said before I ask questions or give it a green ligh

This may sound strange and even callous, but I think it's appealing to people who are used to having employees. It's not about speech being a better interface, it's that thinking hard enough to sit down and compose a prompt i

True, but on the other hand they have an actual prototype and they don't seem to be going around charming VCs... also, I didn't see anywhere they claimed to be able to diagnose or discover any disease. So as opposed to bilking the

Really like it though! Lotta fun. From a guy who codes games and usually has baseball on some screen next to me while I'm working ;)

Yes, and it helps some. Still wish there was a mode for people who need to squint to see the score.
255.
by noduerme 4mo ago
No, and it's fine if you just want to make a desktop site, but if you're designing a game or UI then why not add some nice touches to make it look as good as possible on any size screen? Everything I've designed in the past 1

This is adorable. But gosh that font is hard to read on a phone. Couldn't the score box be a bit bigger?
257.
by noduerme 5mo ago
Yes but it takes much longer to trace them. Because the LLM code almost always gravitates toward data blobs and highly dynamic objects and spaghetti that takes a ton of cognitive load to understand what their failure modes are. Even when it

Is it really crazy to nerf a proprietary model to prevent it from training another model? I don't think that's even remotely similar to giving bad medical advice.

In the real world, many of us don't have the time to create formal proofs. But our instinct in testing where edge cases may exist in code that we wrote is a type of refactoring that happens in our brains during the coding process. Hand

Yeah, I recall directory paths being the biggest PITA with running scripts in cygwin. But I mean, that was a very minor set of things to fix compared to what would've had to be written in anything else available at the time. Doing reta

by noduerme 5mo ago
Cygwin was fun. I'd done zero development on Windows, but about 10 years ago I had to figure out how to deploy some nightly shell scripts across a bunch of local computers in a few dozen offices, where about 80% were MacOS and the rest

I actually wish I could upvote this more. It's a great point. Yes, if the LLMs didn't amplify whatever people already thought and feed it back to them as sycophantic praise, and instead scolded them into realizing they were doing

Great post. And that's exactly where I think we are with language models... we as a civilization are hypnotized and enchanted by the overfitting of models whose parameters are beyond our understanding, but whose mistakes we are more li

I think we're talking about different kinds of models. I was referring to things like fluid dynamics equations that explain why gases and liquids move and how they act when changing states, as a basis for building weather models that

Yes, but our friend's apt analogy shows the danger of absorbing Plato's cave as the one thing you learned in Uni. If everything is a shadow on the wall then, of course, every type of study you just mentioned is merely another set

Just as a reader with no particular dog in the philosophical (or semantic) fight over how well we do or don't understand the brain: That rude remark lowered rather than increased my estimation of your knowledge or authority on any subj

If the mind is made up only of physical processes, then the only way it could be non-deterministic is if the physical processes themselves were non-deterministic. In that case neither the mind nor the physics can be reduced to a determinist

Nit: A truly educated public would not take reason (empirical evidence, denial of the magical, unseen, or superstitious) to mean that we must assert that we live in a clockwork universe or assert an explanation of the mind based on observab

Maybe we do. I think it's a human tendency at large to ascribe pattern or intelligence or spirit where there is only noise. If we can't even prove our own intelligence, doesn't that reinforce the idea that we're in no po

I appreciate you taking a moment to write this. I was a little confused by the downvote. I think I have a tendency to credit satire at times when it's not intended... my own sense of humor has a lot to do with tweaking people's ex
