I don’t think I am. To me, it doesn’t have to be precise. The code is precise and I am precise. If it gets me what I want most of the time, I’m ok with having to catch it.

For many things you can though. If I ask an LLM to create an alert in terraform that triggers when 10% of requests fail over a 5 minute period and sends an email to some address, with the html on the email looking a certain way, it will do

You’re still allowed to reason about the generated output. If it’s not what you want you can even reject it and write it yourself!

What is an intellectual task? Once again, there's tons of stuff LLMs won't be trained on in the next 3 years. So it would be trivial to just find one of those things and say voila! LLMs aren't better than me at that. I'l

I don't understand how the location of a 377 foot tall tree could be kept secret. Wouldn't that type of thing be visible in satellite imagery at the very least?

Airpods are by far the best mass-market headphones in existence for apple device owners. The noise cancellation is unparalleled (which is huge if you use public transit or use them in the gym). The audio quality is also among the best you c

Whenever a no ads tier is offered, a few ads always get shoved into the premium subscription eventually (see: spotify) because companies want to be able to reach the premium customers, who have more disposable income on average.

If you're poor you just wait until you're borderline dying and then go to the E.R. and get charged $120,000 and then never pay it and then have debt collectors calling you for the rest of your life. Or you're on Medicaid if y

You are allowed, it just won’t get you VC money. Hell, Ilya Sutskever went on a podcast like a week ago and said transformers were coming to a dead end and he still has a multi-billion dollar AI company.

Exactly, it’s like getting mad at Isaac Newton because the root finding algorithm doesn’t work on particular functions or something. Like, the issue is not the algorithm, it’s that your expectations were incorrect. This is not an all-knowin

I totally agree with most of the article, but the hallucinations bit puzzles me. If it’s genuinely an unchangeable limitation of the product (as hallucinations are with LLMs) it’s good to set the right expectation rather than making promise

I don't see how this is a step down from existing web applications. Should companies building web applications not be opinionated about their user interfaces? When I look at Notion, I should just get any view of the data inside it, reg
