This is exactly what I've been trying to figure out. At some point the LLM needs to produce text, even if it is structured outputs, and to do that it needs careful prompting. I'd l…

You should look at see what kind of drones are dominating Ukraine's skies. You'd see some water being held. And you probably should have googled this before making this comment.

I keep seeing people make this claim that cattle spend their entire lives on feed lots, but I've never seen this anywhere and I've been all over cattle country. Where do they do th…

Isn’t this really just going back to the server side templating days and using jquery to load html snippets?

We already identify, arrest, and prosecute criminals, we just don't hand out custodial sentences. Being in jail/prison sucks and is a good incentive to not steal cars. Plus it is i…

In a good RAG system this should be solved by unrelated text not being available in the context. It could actually improve your chats by quickly removing unrelated parts of the con…

Kids aren't that expensive. I have a friend in the midwest with 5 kids and his family income is about $60k. They have 3 cars, own their home and go on vacation a few times a year. …

It's criminal that the US is spending money on SLS when it is so incredibly inefficient and will very likely be completely outclassed in cost and operational ability by Starship.

Weird how it’s take the US decades to do what Japan used to do in three years.

I was wondering if you're aware that China possesses nuclear weapons and the reactors needed to produce more. Also, do you believe that all nuclear reactors function identically, b…

Exactly, just figure out how to run Whisper on my phone and it would be the best phone on the market. Whisper plus Mixtral on my phone and it could do anything.

There is a reason China has 16 nuclear plants under construction, with plans to start many more, even though they have access to some of the cheapest wind and solar power in the wo…

Is this true? I'm pretty sure being caught looking at your phone while running someone over will get you a criminal charge in most states.

Am I missing some demos of LLM’s producing jr. Dev level work, because from my experience this seems implausible.

And people seem to ignore Israel's stated goal. They no longer find it possible to live next to Hamas and are fighting a war of unconditional surrender and occupation. So it is con…

Why is Python listed there and not other languages like Ruby, Javascript or Perl?

I’m sure Satya and his 10,000 Harvard lawyers with filed down shark teeth were just the first of many furious calls they took.

Why would anyone care as she’s not on the board because of it.

Yeah, Satya likely just hired a thousand new lawyers just to sue OpenAI for being idiots.

We've had about 20% total inflation since 2021. In some sectors it is higher and some lower. Even Amazon's recent history of price gouging is only going to add up to peanuts on the…

Yeah I’m in awe that attempted murder only gets you 18 months at the federal level. For some reason we’ve decided that murder and attempted murder just aren’t that big a deal anymo…

Ever since food inflation has gotten so crazy, I've been buying bags of potatoes and nuking 3 at a time for a meal/snack. Like 3 potatoes leaves me feeling stuffed, but is only may…

Once you find a diet that is healthy and works, I don't think you're supposed to ever get off of it. It's kind of a tautology that the people getting off their diets gained back th…

Wow, two questions. Are we really supposed to be committing after each logical block of code or change? Like a white line fixup or a small new function added? And what the heck is …
