I'd imagine cost is a big factor. You have to contend with a lot of bad drivers on gpus, right? (This isn't my arena, just speculating here).

Of all the uses of LLMs, this is the most useful to me. Being able to force a minor draft that I can begin tweaking to overcome dev or writers block.

Your assertion is fully contested, and remains unfounded.

In my understanding, the reason LVT/Georgism would work is because the base stock is fixed for the very long term (geologically, barring land reclamation projects from the ocean). Software has no similar basis, and thus would devolve t

Thank you again for your thoughts, this will be my last response to you since, based on our interaction, I believe you want the last word. You are substantively incorrect in assertions. You have yet move beyond an assertion that "Georg

You're on a lonely island there, and despite the followup edit for a reference to the Mises Institute, your thoughts represents neither mainstream nor, especially recently, what their own Pete Boettke would declare, mainline economics.

Georgism explicitly rejects Marx's class-based analysis and Marx's narrative of zero-sum class conflict. What symptoms Marx attributes to class conflict, George attributes to rent-seeking, something which both Georgists and capita

This is sort of the basis of econometrics, as well as a driving thought behind causal inference. Econometrics cares not only about statistical significance but also usefulness/economic usefulness. Causal inference builds on base statis

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

It's a fun rabbit hole. Classical ML tasks (e.g. classification, regression ), perception (vision, speech) and pattern recognition, generative AI capabilities (text, image, audio generation), knowledge representation and reasoning (sym

I like d3 and echarts. Everything else feels a bit hacky. I tried for a few years to help Streamlit deployments in production. Never will go that direction again. Litestar + React with echarts or d3 is the way to go. Or use your favorite ap

Neoclassical economics recognizes, under the standard macro model, that labor taxation is second best. The first-best is capital taxation, once and for all time, but due to time inconsistency (nothing prevents a government from taxing again

Once again, Georgism/land value tax is the superior tax policy. Simpler enforcement.

AI is defined by algorithmic decision making. ML, a subset, is about using pattern matching with statistical uncertainty in that decision making. GenAI uses algorithms of classical ML, including deep learning based on neural networks, to en

These are in the same space, but are diffusion models that match text to picture outputs. VLMs are common in the space, but to my understanding work in reverse, extract text from images.

Oh neat. I wonder if they are integrating everything into uv then.

During some of the earlier web service development days, one would find people at F500 skating by in low-to-mid level jobs just cutting and pasting between spreadsheets, things would take them hours could be done in seconds, and with lower

My respect for people that take this approach is very high. This is the right way to approach integration of technology. Can SOME people's jobs be replaced by AI. Maybe on paper. But there are tons of tradeoffs to START with that appro

Multicellular life is difficult without mitochondria. Personally I think that is the great filter.

Typical FOSS model to offer a super useful core then charge for ancillary services and consulting to pay for development of the core. It's a great model for people who want to have grasp beyond the typical software reach.

Sure sounds like, for Microsoft, an audit log is optional when it comes to cramming garbage AI integrations in places they don't belong.

It would operate a lot like image recognition tasks, probably in frequency 0 domain for a concrete space to operate in. SLID or other information theoretic approaches could isolate common signals, then translate that to captured environment
