The problem with evaluating LLMs is that there's a random component, and the specific wording of prompts is so important. I asked Claude to explain the problem, then write python to solve it. When it ran there was an exception, so I pa

Well let me know when someone reproduces someone else's time traveling experiment. Until then I'm going to bet that the plethora of (untested, often philosophical) exotic QM interpretations are based on an incomplete model and are

What the VC’s want is to say, “Good idea, kid. The grown-ups’ll take it from here.” But not this time. This is our time. This time you’re gonna hand ‘em a business card that says “I’m CEO...bitch”

Looks like a JDAM with IR and radar final guidance. The attack is also interesting: instead of hitting the ship it aims a little to the side and explodes underwater: https://www.twz.com/new-look-at-air-forces-ship-killing-sm

20+ years here. I've been exploring different ways of using them, and this is why I recommend that people start exploring now. IntelliJ with Copilot was an interesting start, but ended up being a bit of a toy. My early breakthrough was

Like Heptapod B. The "next word" argument is pervasive and disappointingly ridiculous. If you present an LLM with a logic puzzle and it gives you the correct answer, how did it "predict the next word"? Yes, the output ca

My disappointment comes from understanding that what humans do is keystroke prediction. If the output that I want can be solved by the most likely next keystroke, then sure, that’s a good use case. I’m perfectly capable of imagining those

The question is what does programming with an LLM get you over batteries-included frameworks with scaffolding like Rails or Django? Three years ago an LLM would conversationally describe what the code would look like. Two years ago it mig

My take requires a lot of salt, but… this time it’s different. Try writing single page web app or command line python app using the Claude 3.5 chat. Interact with it like you might in a pair programming session where you don’t have the keyb

The image presented is so distorted it makes everyday interpretation impossible. They'd be better off with a mesh of laser rangefinders and a camera shooting at a meager 1,000 fps. They say the winner was ahead by 5 thousandths anyway.

He mentioned eventually running on the web, so my guess is to facilitate migrating old TUIs. There's plenty of consulting money in maintaining old enterprise software.

The landing page is refreshingly well done. It looks good, loads fast, feels smooth and stable. I also like the price point. It sounds like a lot for a saas, but doing it yourself takes too much time, and hiring someone is an order of magni

Except this happens with "real" intelligence in the same way. You didn't ask ChatGPT to decide whether or not it was just making things up, you asked it to answer your question.

"Asymmetry of nudges" is more directly conveyed as a ratchet: you can only change things in ways that benefit the corporation.

"Standard" doesn't imply "good", but that doesn't mean "non-standard" is better. Cost-per-quantity (L/100km) is easier to compare than quantity-per-cost (MPG) because how much you use isn't

I guess "decades of clicking things" is a domain one can be knowledgeable in? Usually boxes with draggable things on the top are inputs, on the bottom are outputs.

There are two outputs, two inputs, and three edges. The answer might not be obvious, but it's not a UI problem.
