Because an LLM is not a person, it cannot suffer.

"Beautiful prompt"? Can't tell if this is parody. Either that, or it's someone without any self-awareness.

This is different. Understanding assembly/machine code is optional but helpful. The programming language semantics are enough to reason about what the program is doing. Other tools also help, but are optional for learning how to progra

No? The conventional engineering wisdom has always been: pick two out of fast, cheap, or good. And technological improvements don't remove these tradeoffs. You still have to balance tradeoffs. The best thing you could do is have a mix

"Write better code more slowly" is just regular software development, without the LLM.

LLMs are really bad at smaller European languages even, e.g. scandinavian ones, or Finnish. Much worse than the NLP situation before LLMs.

There may be a word missing in the post title. Should be "Microsoft reports show AI is more expensive...". The fact that AI is more expensive still comes through, even though Microsoft does not state this explicitly.

Yes? I agree with that. I don't really see the issue there. The computer will allocate data in aligned addresses, so you would have to be doing something weird to begin with to access unaligned pointers. And aligned access is always be

In many architectures does not mean you can. The standard is supposed to cover all architectures.
101.
by tovej 5mo ago
But that seems obvious. You can't load an integer from an unaligned address. It's not only C-level is it. There's no (guarantee across architectures for) machine code for that either.

Yes, it says I have bare-minimum standards for how to cite references. I never said I thought financial analysts are idiots. That's not a conclusion I made. I gave a very reasonable reason: they want it to be more difficult to replicat

It is not industry practice to actually give the sources then? Just list vague names in a short "Sources:Companies" note? I now see the inflation indication as well. Which is not on the y-axis label, but in the "Sources:&quot

I don't want IQ to mean anything. pkoird clearly wants it to mean something. IQ is a terribly flawed measure of human intelligence. But it measures nothing when you apply an LLM that contains multiple IQ tests in its corpus. IQ is deep

One of the graphs has two series: net revenue for one company, gross revenue for another. Absolutely ridiculous. And that's just one example. You also haven't adjusted for inflation in your graphs that span multiple decades. Not t

Doesn't seem like a bot, and even if it were, the critique is germane. Calling for a name is a little threatening.

Why do you need this persons name?

IQ is a (biased) proxy measure for human intelligence. It is not a meaningful measure when applied to a computer system.

An AI does not have an IQ.

The genesis mission is an attack on science and research. The executive has slashed NSF grants and are now requiring almost every natural science research team to apply through this hastily prepared channel instead. Review is done by "

Yeah, that's not it. China is heavily invested in AI and LLMs. Also this sentiment is organic, most people I talk yo about AI are anti-AI. The exceptions to the anti-AI sentiment are management and people with a vested interest.

I'm not angry, you just seem to be taking a very self-centered view on the general vibe in this specific forum you mentioned, and are interpreting general anti-AI/blockchain sentiment as personal attacks. So I downvoted.

The goal of economic activity is allocating resources to human needs. Money is an instrument to facilitate this, as is profit. Neither of them is the end, they are means. They are also not the only possible means. Also, you can definitely m

You have it backwards. Why is profit a goal? It's nolever a goal in and of itself, it can only ever be an instrumental goal. "With profits, we can achieve <goal>". If profit is the main goal of all economic activity, th

Oh I'm aware of Finnish law on the matter (moikka), and that is my point. I think the LLC (OY), which is the political institution that creates this profit maximizing incentive, is _the_ main driver of the current multi-crisis situatio

Quality of work is not the goal? What is the goal, then? Maximizing profit for the corporation? I would not want to work anywhere where that is the only goal, even at the employee level. Maximizing profits is not very popular at the moment,

Are you serious when you connect anti-AI sentiment to anti-science sentiment? To me, they are opposite sentiments, and my experience discussing AI with others supports this. The most pro-AI people I meet are very far removed from science, a

I mean, ipv6 is for not runnig out of IP addresses. There is a clear discernible reason. There are workarounds to make ipv4 work, but they complicate the system and make it more fragile.

Ok, so you don't know what you're talking about. That's fine. "There's no reason to think they don't all ultimately have a genetic basis". Oh, so you have groundbreaking research results you want to share?
