Oops, unfortunately too late to fix. I actually misspell it often... apologies if it caused confusion!

Such a strange argument, again. Since the 80s at least plenty of software had a cost of 0. It was available for free and was also free to modify too but required skill. Since then ALL that software remained free. The Internet also made its

I didn't mention resources here. The point of the test was to ask somebody with no bias on HOW the result was produced.

You might not be aware of it but GenAI predates OpenAI which was founded more than 10 years ago anyway.

To me they were important questions. Maybe totally interesting to you.

I can't recall but basic stuff like P = NP. /s My point was preciously to challenge STOA in domains, not questions with well known answers.

I already commented on Erdos problem, that is also a jagged frontier.

That was more than a decade ago so unfortunately not. I should have kept those questions though. I even mention in a comment on HN a while ago that unanswered or wrongly answered questions should precisely be a batch test when new models ar

Related but distinct, few years later I asked an acquaintance to ask a question to a model. I didn't want to bias the test so I ask them to ask whatever they wanted. They asked "What time is it in Sri Lanka?" which I thought

When none of the models, STOA or not, could answer any genuinely interesting question. All models could regurgitate was has been expressed before but nothing actually new was there, until explicitly asked for, and even then it required filt

I'm not sure. I didn't think about this seriously in an adversarial context. What I can imagine though is that - the value of merged PRs might drop (as it's not a good metric anymore) - while the cost of submitting them goes

by utopiah 5mo ago
Goodhart's law, again. I feel like 1/10 comment I make on HN are about this. So merged PR were until LLMs a good proxy for the ability to code and contribute to a software project. Consequently they were used to estimate if a cand

Nice, new list to boycott.

Nice, that's a great use of it. What does it do that a paper version with magnets can't though? Does it track time? Rank? Something else?

Indeed, Microsoft doesn't have to build something to bundle and lock-in, they have a huge budget to acquire, here literally trying to bring the entire open-source community to their products, again.

Indeed, the irony of me complaining that the article confuses problem... only for me to do the same! Indeed a video on a phone provides very limited agency. I was mostly trying to highlight, as someone else pointed out, that demanding conte

Exactly, thanks for clarifying.

IMHO the intent is good but amalgamating problems causing confusion and strange solutions. What actually does make "old" tech good? I'd argue it's agency. It can be the physicality of it too but if so then one has to pin

Meanwhile the most popular browser is by... google, the largest advertising corporation on Earth. They've been there for a while now. Sadly.

Yes... and in fact I'm a professional prototypist (as in I get paid to do that) and this is 100% the process. You do not, never EVER, start from a blank slate. Step 0 is to actually challenge the value. Before you even start you spend

Ah that's always SO fun. It doesn't matter how "smart" the person actually are (or think they are) we are ALL susceptible to influence and blind tests are shockingly simple to implement. Convinced you can distinguish A f

Ah no worries, I'm not expert either was just curious about the mindset. I did find https://cve-north-stars.github.io/docs/CVE-analysis#seeking-... though as an example, quite interesting.

The cycle of expertise : - what is X, I just do Y - wow I can see so many limits of Y, now I do X - I use X for literally everything - now that I properly understand the limits of Y but also the heavy constraints of X ... maybe Y is enough
