Does anyone use LLMs in such a manner that they believe it always has the most up to date information (without web search tools?). Isn't this whole thesis negated by the fact that …

Realistically I think it will come down to the aggrieved counterparties here. Who was on the losing side of the money, was it Joe Schmoe day trader or a bunch of funds who lost the…

Fair point, but the IRGC telling ships to turn around, as opposed to the ships themselves doing it (as per reporting) would imply that the Strait has been blockaded in some fashion…

Comment #47197701
There is credible reporting (Reuters etc.) that ships are being turned around, so it does appear that the mines (or at least threat thereof) have been deployed. Either way, as long…

> The dark side of this same coin is when teams try to rely on the AI to write the real code, too, and then blame the AI when something goes wrong. You have to draw a very clear li…

But the world is not deterministic, inherently so. We know it's probabilistic at least at small enough scales. Most hidden variable theories have been disproven, and to the best of…

Dummit and Foote is the classic abstract Algebra textbook to learn about how to precisely define these. Its treatment of ring theory is very well motivated and easy to grasp

I don't think anyone is advocating for incentivizing forced/child labour. Given that the ILAB link you posted itself is maintained by EO 13126 signed by the Clinton Administration,…

This is a good discussion around the supply chain issues that will likely be happening: https://youtu.be/-dgHWv-Dh6Q?t=1370 Ryan runs Flexport which is a supply chain company so it…

This difference in emotional reaction is because of the effort involved in the process. Functionally, we see YouTube video creation as a fundamentally difficult exercise (to do wel…

The difference is though there isn't a whole lot of "whole cloth novel solutions" being written in software today so much as a "write me this CRUD app to do ABC" which current gene…

I'd like to see the diets in the study that are specified as the "calorie-reduced diets". (Can't seem to find the paper). If it's the same as the Standard American Diet, this muscl…

I'd suggest investing your time in the product first and converting the waitlist to real users before trying to take on external investment. It will either make it much easier or y…

If you train one of the larger models on these specific problems (i.e DM for D&D problems) it probably will surprise you. The larger models are great at generic text production but…

I'm a bit skeptical to give up conservation of energy in a system with friction. Isn't it more accurate to say that if we were to calculate every specific interaction we'd still en…

The conserved quantity is derived from Noether's theorem itself. One thing that is a bit hairy is that Noether's theorem only applies to a continuous, smooth (physical -> there is …

Right, the rephrasing of the sentence is a tad more accurate. Your three entities are [invariant -> conserved quantity]: (translation -> momentum), (rotation -> angular momentum) a…
