That's why I was trying to make the distinction between stuff that actually pushes your understanding forward and teaches helpful information, and stuff that does not. Isn't it mor…

As employees they have unlimited usage IIRC, and also these kinds of tasks can be surprisingly token efficient because a very large chunk of time is spent waiting for the calculati…

I was somewhat conflicted seeing the way the OSdev community responds to LLM usage. I understand the conflict: the point of doing OSdev is that you're learning the low level hardwa…

To be fair, the decrease in discussion and helping one another online has also decreased some significant amount of negative engagement in the form of nonsensical arguments and fru…

This seems like an extreme exaggeration from a few people claiming to not understand a very recent result. This cycle of a new result being discovered, and reaearchers needing some…

I think their point is that it doesn't really matter how competent the lower levels of the command structure are if the ones at the very top are bumbling fools unwilling to listen.…

I think it's pretty obvious from the context of "if you had technical gaps (say, you couldn’t write CSS)" that this isn't about someone that regularly works on frontend web apps, i…

So, since you care so much and caring requires knowing everything about everything that even remotely intersects with your project, as (presumably) a software developer presumably …

In a world where there are endless things to do and only limited time to get them done, not every issue needs to be a learning matter.

Your comment seems entirely disconnected from the posts you linked. It's impossible to deny the results, it is not PR hype that in the past couple of weeks LLMs have resolved probl…

I don't really get the desire for hyper-personalized entertainment. People are very good at pointing out things they dislike, but not very good at coming up with how to fix them (c…

I think embodied AI or autonomous experimentation will need to make a lot more progress before that kind of thing is possible. Asking AI to design real world objects doesn't work v…

I agree it's absurd. I was just commenting on the bit about organizations not allowing it.

Some employers have a policy prohibiting any use of Chinese models, not even allowed to run them locally on air-gapped machines.

A decent chunk of the work a student does during a PhD is stuff that their advisor would have done in much less time, but are intentionally delegating to the student to allow them …

By ignoring the 1st amendment? The US has a tendency of ignoring its constitution whenever it's convenient.

I don't believe this is raising the bar for minting fresh PhDs. We need to maintain perspective here, a PhD is essentially work done by a researcher at the least experienced, least…

Starting to get really frustrating now... maybe I should split my sub halfway between Claude and ChatGPT

The true intention of all of these seems to mostly be to give the government justification to pick winners and losers. Anyone that bends the knee gets their carveout or special exc…

It's kind of disappointing how few efforts of the level of AlphaFold are coming from the AI research labs. I used to believe that it was an indicator of AI still being mostly usele…

At this point I just have to assume that you're trolling. Idk how much more explicitly I have to say that it doesn't matter who the owner is, it matters what the owner did.

It's still a skill for now. Prompt engineering specifically is perhaps not as much of a skill anymore, but I think there's a level of skill involved in understanding and/or anticip…

Really showing that you aren't engaging in good faith and your repeated incorrect interpretations of my words are out of a desire to cover for Musk. To spell it out for you further…

It isn't about "public company", the line is "posted to a public social media platform, with the owner indicating amusement". If someone uses something one of OpenAI's hosted model…
