I’ll give a “wtf does this mean” view. We have observed that LLMs can perform better on hard tasks like math if we teach it to “think about” the problem first. The technique is called “chain-of-thought”. The language model is taught to emit

I have been on HN for 16.5 years and I don’t plan to stop now. It’s been worse. Trends come and go. The stories and comments come and go. HN is constantly changing. You can’t attach yourself to how something was before. It will change again

Fair dice rolls is not an objective that cloud LLMs are optimized for. You should assume that LLMs cannot perform this task. This is a problem when people naively use "give an answer on a scale of 1-10" in their prompts. LLMs are

Are people choosing SQL Server independently of the Microsoft ecosystem? My understating is that you typically use it because you’re forced to choose a MS product.

Don’t build ETL on Tableau. They haven’t made meaningful product progress in 10 years and completely missed the changes in data transformation. They are playing catch-up, they don’t understand where the world is moving.
