It actively harmed the environment. Once the thing has been manufactured doing anything less than driving it into the ground is wasting the upfront environmental cost.

> "rote" drilling of basic skills I think it depends on the nature of the task for which the skill is used. But I agree. There are certain things that are just not realistic to mas…

Unless each spoken dialect corresponds to a matching written dialect. But that just sounds like an even messier system than modern english.

You might have something unusual going on there. At the beginning I, and to the best of my knowledge everyone I grew up around, was also taught to sound words out. At some point I …

Presumably your job is to get results. If catering to someone in some way is able to achieve that then it's a perfectly legitimate approach to consider.

Formatted like a formal academic publication. No way (that I can tell) to grab a pdf. Comes across as a blog masquerading as academic literature to me. Am I wrong? Did I miss somet…

Agreed. Explicit is only better than implicit when you have a mechanism that can reliably identify instances where you forgot to do something. Actually for resource management I'd …

> wouldn't it be silly to have the llm produce the weather? Typically the LLM queries external tools as appropriate and then incorporates the result into the response.

The comment you replied to described an edge case and explained why it's broken in that particular case. You haven't actually responded to the example provided. > it's just not cle…

Similarly, if you visit certain instances you will be greeted with the polar opposite of that. The inhabitants of some instances are more political than others. If you actually cre…

Information loss, or the result of useful computation? VAEs exist after all.

I think it's a fascinating practical example of how "baked in" cognitive bias is. The sort of people that use HN tend to be highly analytical. Yet nonetheless we see a massive publ…

No, it is not over (yet). The node is nonsense. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9150552 DOI: 10.1109/MSPEC.2020.9150552 Edit: I have no idea why anyone would downvote a link t…

Counterpoint: the anti-crypto crowd frequently condescends about these topics yet fails to provide rigorous explanations of how various laws apply when pressed.
