Which is why we need to lower the cost of the reactors.

Efficiency is not the problem. We have plenty of nuclear fuel.

So strange that people are into this, but were not into the much stronger non-LLM poker agents.

But how is that slower than sorting the list?!

How fast if you write a for loop and keep track of the index and value of the smallest (possibly treating them as ints)?

OK, so you do get the vision.

No, I never said that.

You know they're getting better, right?

They saw how much money stablecoin issuers are making. Simple as that.

I interpret The Bitter Lesson as suggesting that you should be selecting methods that do not need all that data (in many domains, we don't know those methods yet).

Yes, many PMs suck. And many engineers suck. And communication is always lossy. Having many/all engineers take some calls helps to mitigate those.

I would have loved this as a kid. Walkie-talkie range and battery life made them useless for my adventures.

Interesting. You just articulated why Chandler was annoying rather than funny.

The Bitter Lesson is saying, if you're going to use human knowledge, be aware that your solution is temporary. It's not wrong. And it's not wrong to use human knowledge to solve yo…

No.

System prompts enable changing the model behavior with a simple code change. Without system prompts, changing the behavior would require some level of retraining. So they are quite…

This is because coders didn't spend enough time making their tests efficient. Maybe LLM coding agents can help with that.

If "LLMs" includes reasoning models, then you're already wrong in your first paragraph: "something that is just MatMul with interspersed nonlinearities."

Losing some bitcoin is effectively equivalent (over the long term) to distributing it to all other holders (proportionally). So this is fine.

No. It is a purely theoretic result. It has zero real-world applicability.

Only at the theoretic limits of efficiency. In real life, not true.

Jeff didn't mention whether Consumer Reports discussed this problem. If not, they also deserve blame.
