I mostly agree with everything you said. Do you feel the same way about code written by an LLM?

Exactly. HN darling Paul Graham writes this way. I find the constant critique of punchy style a bit tiring. It would be more productive for the grandparent to think about the conte…

The link in the article that is right near the words you're talking about links to a wikipedia page that says the book is from 2005. So I conclude it was 2005 or soon after

Do you disagree with the point made?

Not quite, but these help https://poloclub.github.io/transformer-explainer/ https://youtu.be/wjZofJX0v4M?si=gT8Zlz1IY14KV_ju

So far i really like what it does for the example articles shown. I want to test it on 1 or 2 articles I know well, and if it passes that test it's a product I'd totally pay for.

I tried to upload a 239 KB pdf and it said "Daily processing limit reached".

I generally agree with the broader point you're making, but I also think there's nothing wrong with pointing out how messed up it is that that's the reality of the choice. The whol…

Maybe. Those could be the case. But ignoring all confounding factors, this phenomenon is possible with numerical experiments alone. One of the meanings of "the Law of Small Numbers…

I agree with most everything you said. The problem has always been the short-term job loss, particularly today where society as a whole has resources for safety nets, but hasnt imp…

As much as I like the article, I begrudgingly agree with you, which is why I think the author mentions the physical constraints of energy as the future wall that companies will hav…

In my experience in neuroscience it even differs widely across programs/universities. Some good professors care about giving good talks, and if you're lucky it becomes contagious i…

Yeah, but still "scary" because you have to be really careful to not fool yourself and pay attention even with those algorithms. For example, a good demonstration with tsne https:/…

Being there 24/7? Yes. Better job? I'll believe it when I see it. You're arguing 2 different things at once

Wow a sane person among all the hype. Great to see you!

I really do agree with your point overall, but in a technical paper I do think even word choice can be implicitly a claim. Scientists present what they know or are claiming and thu…

I agree with your point except for scientific papers. Let's push ourselves to use precise, non-shorthand or hand waving in technical papers and publications, yes? If not there, of …

I agree. Isn't this just utilizing the representation learning that's happened under the hood of the LLM?

Have you seen the statistics about high impact journals having higher retraction/unverified rates on papers? The root causes can be argued...but keep that in mind. No single paper …

The Bullshit asymmetry principle comes to mind https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini%27s_law

Adjusted for inflation? Without (crippling) debt accrual and adequate emergency fund, retirement, etc? Did you have children or childcare expenses? These all knock on that total co…

We agree, minimum wage doesnt mean that. And in a large metro area, that's why $120k is closer to min wage than a good standard of lliving and building retirement.
