You can say it about becoming collectively overdependent on any technology. And I think there's a good case to be made that a similar phenomenon is true for other technologies e.g. over-reliance on (normal) computers has done similar t

I also wondered why an LLM would be the right starting point. Why would Balzac or billions of lines of rwir code or reddit be relevant to mapping this smallish, well-defined language (SQL) to this other tiny constrained specification langua

You're misunderstanding the setup here. The LLM doesn't modify the query, just some details about how to choose between different ways to break the query into basic operations on the tables. The SQL doesn't change. It's

From your linked post: "LLMs sometimes struggle to give legal moves. In these experiments, I try 10 times and if there’s still no legal move, I just pick one at random." Which sounds a lot like what that paper was about

Swapfiles are fixed size just like swap partitions. They do not grow and shrink arbitrarily as you swap more/less.

That was the net effect (assuming what they solved was the actual problem and not a loophole in the problem statement or a lean bug). My point is they need not all work coherently to do that -- for example, for all we know 3/4 of them

What makes you think they were coherent?

Unfortunately we won't get a chance to see whether kagi could make it work before SEO was a thing, so this isn't a fair comparison. (Not defending kagi necessarily, I've never tried it, no opinion on how it fares on today&#x2

Generational wealth is just wealth that survives to the next generation. It doesn't have to be extravagant wealth when it gets there to count. Also wealth does not start at the ability to live an extravagant life without a salary... Yo

It's written as if the UV and infrared are scattering the blue, which is not correct. Everything scatters off small particles, but shorter (blue) wavelengths scatter more (as the 6th power of the frequency), so most of the scattered li

Wood bending is way older than the nr 14. Plenty of that stuff in 18th c. Europe but apparently it was a common technique in lots of cultures before they had any contact with europeans too, going way back.
