If you buy a pirated book on Amazon you get to keep the book and the pirate printer is the one persecuted. Same thing applies here. Up to 80% off all works that are in copyright terms are accidentally in the public domain. A well known exam

Doom scrolling is when you just have to flip up. Maybe swipe if it's an advanced app. This is something else entirely and requires far too much thinking for the label.

Switching jobs from electrician to teacher to nurse will take around 3 to 5 years of education or apprenticeship in most countries. It also requires new licenses or certificates if you ever move country.

Ironically using Ai on records of meetings across an org is amazing. If you can find out what everyone is talking about you can talk to them. Privacy is non existent, every word said and message sent at the office is recorded but the benefi

I build a website generator from Word files in a folder for a coop I'm in. Four years back I had to move it to using libre office because Word broke how links in files work. As of last year the whole coop is using libre office because

After spending nearly 5 years building software which uses AI agents on the back end I've come to the conclusion it's the PC revolution part 2. Productivity gains won't show up on economic data and companies trying to automat

The issue is that finding where the curve is flat reuiqres either intuition or a lot of money. The contrapositive of the bitter lesson is that any hand crafted system will over any market meanginfil time scale outperform a system using dat

Dynamic evals of simple tasks are the only ones that matter, the closer to your target domain the better. If the model can't get simple tasks right it won't be able to get complex tasks right. Finding parse trees given a grammar a

OpenAI has been running around headless for at least two years now. I've build systems like openclaw, based on email, at my day job and told OAI during an interview that they needed to build this or get smoked when someone else does. I

I've been at this longer than most. After three major generations of models the "intuition" I've build isn't about what AI can do, but about what a specific model family can do. No one cares what the gotchas in gpt3

This is what everyone who uses llms regularly expected. Good results require a human in the loop and the internet is so big that just about everything has been done there by someone. Most often you.

This is child abuse. What sort of monster uses vim for s-expression based languages? Everyone knows Emacs is the only sane way to work with them.

Python has so many ways of doing things it's a distraction, doubly so when you add all the special sauce for tensor manipulation. Scheme by comparison has only one way of doing things and gets out of your way.

Fortran is about numerical programming without having to deal with explicit addresses. Symbolic programming is something like lisp. Llms do not manipulate symbols according to rules, they predict tokens, or arbitrary glyphs in human parlanc

Shake your head and move on. It's not like we haven't seen closed source applications become hostile to their users before. And it's not like we didn't warn people about it.

LLMs are idiots and they will never get better because they have quadratic attention and a limited context window. If the tokens that need to attend to each other are on opposite ends of the code base the only way to do that is by reading i
