I think I heard we're also running out of attention span?

Why would that not be sustainable forever? Over the long run the price per token is likely to decline as both hardware and software gets more efficient.

Every time the cost of software development has gone down due to higher level tools we've gotten higher software budgets, more software developers, and more released software. Demand appears to be effectively infinite.

Sure, adults should be able to take PEDs if they want to. But there's no reason to allow doping cheaters to enter sanctioned competitive events. It's no different from forcing all competitors to follow equipment rules. Like for th

There's no inherent reason that the second man couldn't make it to the Olympics in the air pistol event.

I don't need to ask, I didn't love it when I was a student. I wasn't claiming that this is a good thing.

Ha ha good luck doing that reliably with wide-angle underwater photography. You're always moving around, conditions are constantly changing, and wildlife is inherently unpredictable.

The lack of any real innovation or major economic development in Spain would appear to be fairly strong evidence that the "Napoleonic" model wasn't actually working. Maybe this new system was even worse but I'm baffled a

OK so just always do it right the first time and never make mistakes. Also, get lucky. Got it.

How?

You're not wrong, but students often have to spend more than $300 per semester (not year) just on textbooks.

New mathematical concepts are usually published in scholarly journals so it's possible to dig them up decades later when they're needed. But most companies never publish stuff that doesn't work, and don't even make any e

Yes, there are some university CS courses on topics like discrete mathematics, theory of computation, and ethics that don't involve any programming.

Will the students have to go through security screening for personal devices?

I think you're missing the point. The majority of jobs at companies like Booz Allen are sort of like Kabuki theater and don't require any technical competence. The main responsibilities are to show up on time and present a certain

The dirty secret in HR is that performance in most regular jobs doesn't really depend on having learned anything in college. Companies only require a college degree to filter the candidate pool down to a manageable level. Line managers

Those students will go on to "cheat" in job interviews. And the sad thing is that many of them will never face any consequences because the majority of jobs at large companies don't require any actual competence. The college

Nah. Syntax is trivial and irrelevant for teaching CS theory.
949.
by nradov 7mo ago
Syntax seems like a stupid thing to test in university level courses. That's trade school stuff. And I don't mean that as a criticism of trade schools, they just have a different focus.

So what. Fluctuations over a year or two are meaningless. Do you really believe that the constant-dollar price of an LLM token will be higher in 20 years?

Compute capacity for the same workload always gets cheaper over time.

Which dome construction material would be transparent to sunlight but block ionizing radiation?

No, I'm giving him actionable advice to improve his life. Take it or leave it.

I don't understand your comment. The USA is the most civilized country in the world. And some of the LLMs linked above are fully open source.

If people are going to produce unrealistic sci-fi videos they should at least try to make them entertaining and not just lame.

More accurate biological simulations could help but there is zero reason to expect that LLMs will be an effective platform for such simulations. That's pure speculation and probably wrong.

Your moral compass is skewed. Customers don't care what tools we use, they just want products that work. Is a wheat farmer who ploughs a field with horses more moral than one who uses a tractor? The resulting flour tastes the same eith

What if I could flap my arms and fly to the moon? You haven't presented any scientific evidence that LLMs will enable such prediction accuracy. It's pure speculation and hope. Some smaller, incremental improvements to optimize res

There are already several fully open source LLMs. You can start participating in those projects today. https://www.bentoml.com/blog/navigating-the-world-of-open-so...
