The point is that it should be able to point you to the source article. The synthesis isn’t necessarily more accurate, but you can check its work easily.

Bing is not just an LLM. It’s RAG, the LLM is just a layer on top of a typical search engine. The LLM is not “getting” any facts, it’s just synthesizing them in a human-readable format.

I agree, AI output should effectively be treated similarly to untrusted user input. There are some situations where it's ok to use directly, because the consequences of getting it wrong are minimal. There's other cases where it ma

Depends what you consider a password manager. "Word doc with all my passwords in it" is effectively a password manager in this context

There are many many questions where a correct/incorrect answer is quick and easy to verify, but difficult to create. If you understand which questions these are, you can use AI without wasting time.

If you trained an LLM on questions where the answer “I don’t know” is possible, it would likely learn to answer any non yes/no question with “I don’t know”, since it’s probably the most common answer outside of yes/no

I think novels also suffer from a lack of independent tastemakers. Book stores all went out of business, and none of the publishing houses have an identity beyond publishing what sells. I can't think of any book review blogs that have

This feels like a thing where Apple needs to be very clear on who their early adopters are. The only situation I could see myself wanting this is if I was on a plane/train for several hours a day and needed to work or just wanted a goo

> If sleeping with someone was a taxable event, would that mean that it's OK to spy on people's bedrooms? It would be immoral to make sleeping with someone a taxable event. And therefore immoral to treat it as a taxable event.

I recently had a really good interview experience. 2-3 hour project. Then, after they reviewed it, another hour and a half meeting the team (no live coding, just talking about experience/fit). These takehome projects used to annoy me,

Absolutely ridiculous to not be suspicious here. Yes, stressed people kill themselves often, but not during a deposition that could accomplish everything they’ve been working for and putting their job security on the line for over the past

I don’t think the bottleneck is the talent pool. There are plenty of folks smart enough to do what OpenAI did, the question is, did they have enough access to capital?

I really hope so. I’ve been looking for non-stupid jobs for 5 years, even willing to a pay cut to work on them, but I keep getting no traction, while yet-another-saas-that-does-x openings have been everywhere.

Maybe I should say half as much hardware. Performance is too subjective. But nobody else can charge $800 for an extra 64g of ram. My point is their thoughtfulness about their ecosystem is what allows them to de-commodify their hardware. The

Apple built up a really strong brand by not doing this kind of thing for a while. They get to charge twice as much money for half as much performance because they made sure their products felt nice and intuitive to use. Now they’re willing

Software Engineering and Computer Science don't necessarily mean the same thing (even though at this point, most schools with CS programs just teach software engineering anyway).

Braces definitely do not stop accidents of this type, in my experience. All it takes is refactoring some code where you can’t feasibly count the number of open braces/parentheses (HCL tends to get like this), and misplacing a brace som
