Singularity doesn't necessarily rely on LLMs by any means. It's just that communication is improving and the number of people doing research is increasing. Weak AI is icing on top, let alone LLMs, which are being shoe-horned into

It's a bad book, nowhere close to the first two in any regard.

VV is up there with Stephenson and Gibson as the top 3. I don't put Asimov, etc in there since Asimov was hard sci-fi to the max and couldn't write a character to save his life, much like later Stephenson. I wish I could find some

Appreciate both this and sigmoid's comment above. I don't really understand cosmic background radiation enough to understand though. I get it at an absolutely superficial level and understand that it's used as evidence of the

Appreciate people "going back to the fundamentals" - without sarcasm, I lived for ages without even ever understanding where the idea of dark matter comes from. To be honest, I still don't understand how "cosmic microwav

I mostly disagree with you if you work in a "standard" company - it's usually "make a form" or "move data / do some other CRUD". These tasks don't generally have that many unknowns. It's abs

Does anyone have a better article on this? This is ok, but it seems like there are better - I would love to share with my team. These are things I always share with them: On code reviews: https://mtlynch.io/code-review-love&

I found the article to be entirely useless, since it doesn't cover concrete techniques from any traditions, whether that's St. Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle or Buddhist works. The best "focus techniques" are usu

I don't know why the above got downvoted - it's absolutely true. There is a reason I have to go into a testing center or sit there with my camera on with a proctor watching when taking cloud exams. I don't see how hard it can

Genuinely reads like a scare-mongering myths. I am doing the basic of the basic atm - adding an API endpoint to call an internal API and get a subset of data and ChatGPT can't even accomplish that. I have been reviewing the usability o

The short answer is no. Not even from Alpha Centauri 4ly away. A lot of people have misconceptions that we would immediately detect these signals - we would not. MAYBE from Alpha Centauri with a LOT of additional funding and effort, but not

tldr: 1. Star system 100ly away. 2. Piqued interest of astronomical community, because "The six planets orbit their central star HD 110067 in a harmonic rhythm with planets aligning every few orbits" 3. No accurate data on masses

The problem is that it has to be filler. How much local news that actually matter are there in any given day? Maybe news would work better if it only got sent out when there was anything worthwhile.

As an insider, you likely sold out to our AI overlords and worship Roko's Basilisk, with your only aim to deceive us to pave the way for our AI masters. Joking aside, I can't even get ChatGPT to find an import or sort a list witho

Do the math on a 100k income - everyone lives on inheritances. It's fine if you inherit a couple of mill and can live on all of the 100k. If you need to worry about savings - good luck.

It's a progression. Story, style, characterization, and science in equal measure at first. Then more and more of the latter and less of the first three. Perhaps he did peak in Diamond Age, then it's basically Asimov after - pretty

Was looking for exactly this comment - this looks like a reality TV show. Dramatic questions. Standard non-answers. Well, reality TV or a presidential debate.

I am sure he pretends to master the subject very well. Having never seen a single one of his videos, I can also tell you with 100% confidence they are a complete lie. He is not memorizing 100+ words a day + grammar. Maybe 20-50, maybe. Lear

Don't password managers get hacked all the time lately? This is really good advice though: "Encrypt your hard drives using FileVault (macOS) or Bitlocker (Windows) and never leave your machine without locking it."

Could you provide some articles / books on this please?

Sounds like a plotline for Gibson's Neuromancer. I do wonder how much corporate "cloak & dagger" stuff actually happens, and how. You really never hear about it in terms of actually espionage of research, winning over lea

Let me be more specific - as an architect working on a senior dev task today, it's faster for me to type out the code / figure things out then prompt ChatGPT to do the problem. I actually have it pulled up all day in vain attempts

This has nothing to do with AI. AI can't replace a decent newgrad. It literally can't find a React import and cannot be relied on for anything without a human double checking it, which takes as long as writing it yourself, when it

I think the fact that we have tens of companies making different sugar water is proof that capitalism allocates capital in ways that is useful to humanity! Sarcasm aside, I don't actually have a better solution.
