What I don't understand is that on one hand we read 'what they charge is much less than it costs them' and on the other hand this thread seems to suggest that 'what they charge is …

Wouldn't be surprised if a dollar per entry already made a whole lot of difference.

I think that's the problem, or at least a problem, and a growing one.

This is me in the evening working on a side project.

Yeah I think this basically answers this entire sub-thread

And I bet the impact of your review work on their development into medior/senior goes towards 0. I recognize this discrepancy where review effort becomes more than the coding itsel…

I picked up miniature painting as a hobby around Christmas icm 3D printing with the idea of building a Christmas village from scratch. It's always fascinating what long and winded …

Especially given how fast things progress, timeline and performance are a tradeoff where I'd say swaying things in favour of the latter is not per definition net positive.

Totally agree if the AI or search results are a (relatively) direct answer to the question. But what if the AI is used to build up a(n otherwise) genuine human response, like: 'Per…

What may be added is that some people have a hard time reading words by their 'total shape'. I can imagine that for them, the difference between pattern matching symbols and string…

Comparable to what I read someone say about AI the other day: we're living in the small sliver of history where smart-glasses with cameras are technically feasible yet are still (k…

My mom has hearing aids, I only get all the technical info through her, so it's a bit blurry, but she complained about very unpleasant scratchy noises, for instance when my dad was…

It's not just you. The generated stuff - in my opinion - doesn't make any sense at all, with regard to structure or meaning. Unless, perhaps, the aim was to generate some kind of b…

I used to be in (molecular biology) research. At some point my supervisors were already working towards a paper in their mind, while I was still doubting (the statistical significa…

This reminds me of my interactions lately with ChatGPT where I gave into its repeated offer to draw me an electronics diagram. The result was absolute garbage. During the subsequen…

I can understand how/that this works, but it still feels like a 'hack' to me. It still feels like the LLM's themselves are plateauing but the applications get better by running the…

So Long, and Thanks for All the Krill

This nicely describes where we're at with LLM's as I see it: they are 'fancy' enough to be able to write code yet at the same time they can't be trusted to do stuff which can be so…

Here in the Netherlands the impact of Nitrogen coming from cattle excretions (mostly through ammonia I believe) is paralizing the entire country (due to the impact on the environme…

Reminds me of when I was developing an application 'in' Facebook (when it was mostly friends but with adds for addictive games in the sidebar)

What inactions? Apart from creating safe conditions beforehand (but perhaps that is your point), once my kid is asleep there's not much more I can do? Most of that time I'm sleepin…

Theoretically that should swiftly be reflected in their trust level. But maybe I'm too optimistic. I have nothing intrinsically against people that 'will click absolutely anything …

Interestingly, as I've begun to realise the ease by which a State's trust can sway has actually increased my believe that this should come from 'below'. I think a trust network bet…

Yeah building something like this is not a weekend project, getting enough traction for it to make sense is another orders of magnitude beyond that. I like the idea of one's trust …

I'm sometimes thinking about account verification that requires work/effort over time, could be something fun even, so that it becomes a lot harder to verify a whole army of them. …
