I would've thought the problem is bots that are mass solving instead of human + ChatGPT. If a bot mass solves you can identify it by posting frequency and quality over time.

AI generated can be somewhat sniffed out today but I'm not sure how long that will even last. Usually you can tell when the writing is great but the points made are trash or miss the point. I personally wouldn't find it helpful. I

Funny how HN selectively applies this rule. Third front page thread in two days without updates.

Yeah those aren't good especially stuff like healthcare a PhD student can't get the needed data. The other issue is, if you do focus on LLMs, it's too hyped your research would be too overlapping/competing especially as

Jonathan Blow puts it as the "cost of experimentation being too high" which I would agree with. Generally, as an individual or small group the limiting factor for you at times becomes time. Sort of the philosophy where you design

Rust is actually more suited to those companies than the general public (small companies and individual programmers) so it makes sense they do push it hard.

I mean games these days are hundreds of gigabytes each. If you archive the not most popular TV shows and movies that can really add up. Especially 4k.

Is this an outdated view the article interposed? Is he only talking about startups given his YC background? Article isn't that clear.

It's the best for web servers because the alternatives aren't really designed for that space or are badly designed in general.

Programming Languages. But it's an acronym used for a very theoretical community/research that looks at things like category theory, the acronym isn't used for the average engineer discussing Java Vs C#.

That's true, but you don't get pull request and issues discussions from just a git clone.

If you said Meta research, I'd believe you. Between Cambridge Analytica and the Metaverse that billions of dollars was wasted on for releases that don't even compete with VRChat, I really don't know what to conclude apart fro

It's publicly available code that comes with licenses on how you can use that code that they ignore, such as share alike but they're charging. That's an ethical issue. In the early days (months after public release not beta),

There should always be a mirror or archive for projects that are used, yeah. It's probably easier to archive stuff when it's centralised to one platform. Collaborating on multiple platforms would make sense if not everyone used Gi

If you don't need to learn anything and can fulfil and sustain yourself then I wouldn't. The reality is that's not the case for most people. You also don't need to learn things with the expectation of a job.

Yeah, I think incentives play a part. Similar to YouTube where a cesspool is usually good for them but not for you. Given Bing and DuckDuckGo don't have the same incentives I wonder if their results are any better.

Yeah, that's one of the main issues. And it's about to get worse with the newer generative models. I don't think Google ever had a great algorithm and switched to something worse. It's just the SEO actors putting crap ou

It seems to really fall apart in anything niche, even if you're just asking information about a topic. Doesn't have enough training data on that topic.

I would try providing it a schema as the first message, just for its internal memory and see if that works, but yeah, I usually ask it to write domain independent stuff and then adapt that.

But the typical program decomposes into a lot of grunt functions/code so it's a productivity multiplier, meaning you can have less developers and do more. You've got to know what you expect as output, it just saves time. It&#

If it was about LLMs then it wouldn't have to be preemptively rushed. Like, they could wait a year or two, their bank account isn't going anywhere. The users and data of big tech are the real value. By waiting a year for LLMs to t

Yeah, probably his way of easing you into a bigger problem. Unless it's light hearted teasing/discussion (by actual "friends") but taken as peer pressure. To be honest S20 at 12 being an issue over Apple in 2023 is first

Team work projects in an university should be marked through the components each individual does. In the real world, lack of effort = fired, in an undergraduate, one low grade which people are OK with.

Very strange use of "dupe". I think the link provided is notable just due to the fact that the BBC overextended themselves and wasted taxpayer dollars on using DMCA against the Internet Archive - something outside of their respons
