    > warmth and empathy don't immediately strike me as traits that are counter to correctness This was my reaction as well. Something I don't see mentioned is I think maybe it has mor…

    Alternatively, I've gotten exactly what I wanted from an LLM by giving it information that would not be enough for a human to work with, knowing that the llm is just going to fill …

    Absolutely, I can see how that could be effective. The jobs may lean toward electrical experience. Power engineering is a subfield of electrical and may be relevant. I looked into …

    Hey there! I have a B.S. in Information & Systems Engineering, which includes Operations Research (OR). Happy to chat about this! When I graduated, the OR term was already fading, …

    Anecdotal but I told chatgpt to include it's level of confidence in its answers and to let me know if it didn't know something. This priming resulted in it starting almost every an…

    No comment on if output analysis is all that is needed, though it makes sense to me. Just wanted to note that using file size differences as an argument may simply imply transforme…

    I cant help but chime in here because I used to feel this way and all the typical advice never felt right (ie that you shouldn't care how good you are at things) Very quickly I wil…

    Yes actually, I've been binging a lot of General Relativity content lately by coincidence and can say the Dialect YouTube channel has been the best resource for describing this. I'…

    Maybe not exactly what you are describing, but I recently did some layman research on "Strange Attractors" and chaos theory, which covers very similar topics. I cannot summarize he…

    Yes, it can be net positive. Ill clarify a bit, because text is easily misunderstood. I would not assume someone is a "bad" person just because they grew up around gang culture and…

    I think everything is ultimately net positive if you strengthen and condition the way you internalize all the sensory exposure. To me, the risks are being overwhelmed by internaliz…

    I think demanding upfront pricing could hurt the customer. The company would be forced to overestimate their costs to cover the risk associated with unknown use-case details, makin…

    I specialize in costing/pricing, not in saas however. There are a lot of reasons why what you are asking for is likely not realistic. It unfortunately does get abused, though, and …

    Jumping in to say I think it's important to try to control the incentives around how many empty units are "too many" empty units. Having a tenant comes with cost and risk. Why char…

    Once you start discarding runs, doesn't that count as lying about the data/experiment? As in effectively equivalent to flipping the coin and only reporting it if it lands on heads?…
