You'll probably find out pretty quick in production :) But I posit that most text classification tasks don't have such strict accuracy requirements. For one, no text classifier is 100% accurate. For instance, I have genuine mail i

Nothing about a zero or few-shot classifier precludes you from validating on a data set.

LLMs as general purpose classifiers is a really big deal, especially because you can give them fuzzy instructions. I know people are worried about LLMs and spam, but I think LLMs may provide an opportunity to elevate online discourse by bei

Seems like a chicken-and-egg problem: which came first: the license or the profession?

Predictable outputs for a given input. Do you think a civil engineer just hopes for a sound structure? Or do they know the structure is sound before construction begins?

There are other factors, too. I remember reading about sea level change as a result of Greenland's ice melting. The sea level around Greenland is actually predicted to go down. One reason is that the ice is pushing the land down, and t

I don't think railroad workers have much of an opinion on the title of software engineers.

What is a "real engineer?" A railroad worker?

Are you sure those are propeller scars? They look too shallow and close together. Propeller scars I've seen have looked more like deep cuts more widely spaced out. Propellers are moving with incredible force. I imagine they cause quite

There are plenty of things you can say "we don't know whether or not this exists." But that doesn't somehow invalidate LEM. Whether or not something is possible is a binary state, regardless of whether or not we know the

If "X is possible" implies "X is [known to be] possible" then shouldn't "X is not impossible" imply "X is [known to be] not impossible"?

Wow... I had no idea people put so much thought into the most basic, mundane small talk.

People at Amazon, Apple, and Netflix do sell products (although they also have advertising divisions).

Why? I think the emphasis was on “marketing noise,” i.e. something no one wants or needs that is forced into peoples’ eyeballs against their will through paid advertising channels.

“Not known to be impossible” is not the same as “not impossible.” I think original suggestion was trying to add some linguistic flair, but generally double negatives are hard to understand. It’s better to just state your point plainly.

The concentration of voting power is an issue, but not because of the "increased responsibility." Large funds like Vanguard and BlackRock end up owning huge portions of many different companies. These companies are often direct co

This is an interesting theory, but couldn't the opposite happen? As boomers aged, many will have gradually reduced their stock holdings to own less risky assets in preparation for retirement. As boomers die, Millennials will invest the

Yes, that seems to be a common theme: you have a hard time believing anything that doesn’t fit with your preconceived notions. Again, connect React dev tools to Reddit yourself. Given that you’ve been given a concrete example of a slow webs

The difference between X is true vs. I believe X is true is irrelevant. > I would probably have titled it " I think FTL travel might not be impossible". Again, what does “not impossible” mean? The only meaning, logically, is “

If something is "not impossible", then it is possible. To say otherwise is to violate LEM, which is an essential part of all of our logical systems. The vast majority of mathematical proofs, many of which form the foundation of ou

This is a discussion about perf. Creating new copies is part of what makes it slow.

As I said, this project was about as complex as Figma: a feature rich collaborative editor. This designation has nothing to do with code size. Go hook up the React dev tools to Reddit and look how much each component renders. You see that c

I don’t think an LLM is required for the UX you want. Online grocery delivery already exists. They could easily offer a list-based UI where you upload a list and it populates a cart for you. I order groceries online a lot. My personal opini

I have experiencing on both complex React projects and complex vanilla JS projects (think the scale and complexity of Figma). Vanilla JS lends itself to being more performant. Anything that happens in Vanilla JS happens for an explicit, dev

If you read my original post, one of my points was that React’s rendering and data model makes it too easy to render unnecessarily, which causes perf issues.
