The only way that analogy remotely maps onto reality in the world of LLMs would be in a `Mixture of Experts` system where small LLMs have been trained on a specific area like math or chemistry, and a sort of 'Router pre-Inference'

But would you make your kid do CAPTCHAs every time they need to earn some privilege? We're talking about what's appropriate for kids, not what's easy or hard for adults or kids. I mean why not make them earn dessert by doing

Right, I didn't mean it necessarily had to be on it's own hardware. I don't have any Android development experience, but it seems like android could have a version that's as locked down a this. If I had kids I wouldn&#x2

The more info you give the AI the more likely it is to utilize the practices it was trained on as applied to _your_ situation, as opposed to random stereotypical situations that don't apply. LLMs are like humans in this regard. You nev

Less clarity in a prompt _never_ results in better outputs. If the LLM has to "figure out" what your prompt likely even means its already wasted a lot of computations going down trillions of irrelevant neural branches that could&#

It certainly seems like someone would've invented a Kid Friendly phone by now that's completely safe, and doesn't allow access to the "real" internet at all, but only an ability to send texts without images, make vo

And "GitHub Copilot Chat" VSCode extension is _also_ a chatbot.

by quantadev 1y ago
imo, any VSCode user needs both extensions: "GitHub Copilot" for inline completions, and "GitHub Copilot Chat" for interactive, multi-turn coding chat/agent.

I haven't tried GPT-4.1 yet in VSCode Copilot. I was using 'Claude Sonnet 4' until it was struggling on something yesterday which 3.7 seemed to easily do. So I reverted back to 3.7. I'm not so sure Sonnet 4 was a step fo

I'll say it for the third time: "in VSCode". There's no ambiguity about which Copilot that is.

There's as much variability in LLM AI as there is in human intelligence. What I'm saying is that I bet if that guy wrote a better prompt his "failing LLM" is much more likely to stop failing, unless it's just comple

I wish I had a nickle for every time I've seen someone get a garbage response from a garbage prompt and then blame the LLM.

by quantadev 1y ago
That's why I said "in VSCode" because I have no idea what this guy is running, but it's almost a certainty the problem isn't copilot but it's a bad LLM and/or his bad prompt.

I'd be willing to bet a more clear prompt would've given a good answer. People generally tend to overlook the fact that AIs aren't like "google". They're not really doing pure "word search" similar to

I love Copilot in VSCode. I always select model "Claude Sonnet 3.7", when in Copilot since it lets me choose the LLM. What I love about Copilot is the tight integration with VSCode. I can just ask it to do something and it relies

In many cases no one knows the _cause_ of "Rapid Evolution", but ALL SOTA LLMs know it definitely happens, and quite often, and can give numerous examples.

I know. It's hard to tell if they're trying to be jokingly "cringe" about all the "wave" stuff, or simply that non-conversant about wave theory and QM.

by quantadev 1y ago
Every time you locate something in space and/or time, it means a wave has collapsed. So that statement is as trivial as saying "constraints are about positions of things in space time." It's about as enlightening as sayi

by quantadev 1y ago
They say "On each step...[yadda yadda] we have a completely observed state, the wave function has collapsed." So they're trying justify calling a "state" a "collapse". That's a bad metaphor to start w

Anyone interested in "Rapid Evolution" has already checked Google Gemini and knows I'm right.

^^ That was perhaps the best "psychological projection" I've seen in decades.

Rapid Evolution _does_ happen also. Foster's Rule can happen in under 100 years. "Evolutionary Scale" time ranges is normally what we associate with the ability to evolve entirely new body morphologies. However, for simple ch

We're 98% genetically identical to all other primates, so a gene combination controlling lengths of appendages is buried probably in just a handful of mutations embedded in that 2%.

Ah, what we call the "Nuclear Option for Vim Exiting". Only if all else fails.

Will be great to disabuse people from using VIM. I mean in VIM you can't even easily exit. I've always had to literally reboot my computer to get out of VIM. One time even that didn't work, so I had to pull the main circuit b

by quantadev 1y ago
It's very likely that there's a simple switch (i.e. not much more than a couple of mutations required) which governs finger/toe length in primates. For example, did you know all the DNA for growing a "Lizard Leg" (t

Sure, there's all kinds of reasons the fossil footprints might have long looking toe marks. Heck it could've been toenails. Not sure what they used for nail clippers back then. haha.

We're living in the age of Google/AI/LLMs, so anyone can verify my facts.

If feet can change 30% in 50 years then toes can certainly change that much in thousands. And I'm not even saying it was worldwide, just the people who made those mud footprints. And that 30% isn't even all humans either, it'
