Dan spent 7k words missing the forest for the trees People had been calling a housing bubble since 2003. You quite literally need the market to do dumb things over a period of time before the bubble pops. Otherwise it’s not a bubble! Actual

The whole point of transformers is that you can take “a tiny ML model” and just scale it up 100000x and then it tells Zuckerberg what to bake with his kid

You can pour a bunch of beads into a pachinko board and end up with a normal distribution. Do the system “know” they need to go there? Then you feed a bunch of tokens into a GPU and end up with a distribution of possible next tokens…

I think you are just litigating the philosophical debate of Bayesian vs frequentist interpretations of probability. Because the weights really are just probabilities. Bayesians say that the probabilities represent strength of belief, implyi

This article presents some evidence for why Grep might work better but I don’t think it does a great job of explaining why it gets chosen - is it something that was intentionally reinforced during training or was it just because LSP is hard

Do not recommend. There’s this stupid hard limit every day which takes like 8 hours to reset no matter how many tokens you used

That works for well trod paths, e.g “fix ci” works exceedingly well. “why app slow” obviously doesn’t work because the task is underspecified. But in order to properly specify you either need an experienced engineer who knows how to narrow
