People have been told for so long that private companies are more efficient than government that they have started to simply believe it, as if the problems of large scale organisat…

Unlike the hacking one, this would be impossible to bullshit as long as the proofs are released. They can be verified independently, and the alternative is that they solved 10 majo…

The thing you're missing here is timelines. The reason renewables are expensive is because it requires a grid upgrade to make it work, whereas replacing the old coal generators wit…

> We now have a fully developed app that we are testing but found several features missing. So not fully developed then.

Sure, but that apparently only costs $500. If you do that once a month then that's still basically free. Hell if you do it once a week it's still about as much as a single cheap em…

Yes but all of those things are independent of the size of the country, which is the point.

Do you imagine an infrastructure project in ANY country is managed like a project in a small company?

> - The United States is 85 times larger than Switzerland. The entire country of Switzerland is the size of a small US state. Covering the US with broadband is much harder than Swi…

The difference is that the US companies are using it as a means to an end, they need to make just enough profit that the investors don't all get cold feet before they get to AGI. T…

Just because the users were already sick when they started using ChatGPT doesn't mean that ChatGPT isn't exacerbating the issue. Sickness isn't a boolean condition. A big problem w…

In my experience AI can write _something_ from scratch, but often edge cases won't be handled until I go through and read the results or test it. Usually when I'm writing by hand I…

Agile cannot go over budget or scope because those are failures of planning. Agile is the methodology that was developed specifically to counteract those problems with planning. Pr…

Which is fine, the average bike thief is not going to expect to need them.

Yes, there's a reason it was abandoned as a KPI almost as soon as it was introduced. Just because AI is writing the code instead now doesn't magically make it a good metric.

You should have kept reading. For performance-sensitive scenarios where case types include value types, libraries can also implement the non-boxing access pattern by adding a HasVa…

If Windows update does something weird what do you do?

> In many ways the quality of care in the US is far better than what folks get elsewhere, which in part is probably why there isn’t a total patient rebellion How sure of this are w…

Actually you're right, I was going by the source code which was in the link of the comment you replied to, but I missed that that was specifically for divExact and not just primiti…

More specifically, Zig will return an error type from the division and if this isn't handled THEN it will panic, kind of like an exception except it can be handled with proper patt…

Have you ever had a concept you wanted to express, known that there was a word for it, but struggled to remember what the word was? For human thought and speech to work that way it…

I have seen people say something along these lines what feels like every month for the past year.

The point is that it's a litmus test for how well the models do with niche knowledge _in general_. The point isn't really to know how well the model works for that specific niche. …

I think ideally you need to practice both slow AND fast. You need to practice slow so you can notice and work on small details that can be skipped over with speed, and you need to …

The problem with publicly disclosing these is that if lots of people adopt them they will become targeted to be in the model and will no longer be a good benchmark.

The problem with integrating a chat bot is that what you are effectively doing is the same thing as adding a single bookmark, except now it's taking up extra space. There IS no adv…
