Personally, I use LLMs to write code that I would have never bothered writing in the first place. For example, I hate web front-end development. I'm not a web dev, but sometimes it…

Not true. VAT does way less economic damage. Tariffs introduce massive distortions in the market.

As an anecdotal data point, I’m happier than in my early and mid 20s, and I have hope for my 30s.

This is not what hallucination means in the pre-LLM machine learning literature.

It’s used incorrectly. Hallucination has (or used to have) a very specific meaning in machine learning. All hallucinations are errors but not all errors are hallucinations.

What do you mean by “true” RL?

The way I see it hallucination and factual error are particular cases of incorrect answer.

Deepmind tried something similar in 2018 https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/learning-to-write-prog...

Cool! Thanks!

Rust is great, but one thing I’d like to see is an interpreted, dynamic, less strict version of it that could be used for prototyping and gradually typed into compiling Rust code. …

I believe the main Mojo use cases are scenarios in which you'd need dependencies anyway. Code that you can't write in Python due to performance concerns, so you'd need to call C/C+…

I'm sure Chapel has its merits, but one of the main selling points of Mojo is the aspiration to be part of the Python ecosystem, and so far I haven't seen any other programming lan…

The term of “hallucination” referred to generative ML models have been used in the literature for years, at least since GANs.L

I graduated in 2019 and studied Prolog in my third year.

Looks great! Rust is the wrong language for developing ML models, but it has a clear potential for being the best one for deploying them.

Aren’t iMessage and FaceTime irrelevant outside from the US? I don’t know a single non-American person who uses them.

Not an expert in East Asian languages, but GPT tokenizers are generally byte-based. Meaning that the basic unit to do the merges is a single byte, not a character.

I’d add that while languages should die, code written in it shouldn’t. So, even if a language is deprecated, we still should be able to run, call and interoperate with all the lega…

No one said it was. What some researchers hypothesize is that at the current rate of improvement, it wouldn't be especially unreasonable to expect AGI at GPT-N.

Could you share more details about it? Is your code open source?

Terrible UX, mostly useless answers (most replies to posts are either poorly sarcastic or not replying to the actual point). Before it wasn't like this. Did the Reddit board volunt…

YouTube ads are way more disruptive because they have to interrupt the video you are playing for at least a few seconds.

The moat is network effects, not the hosting service. GitHub is indeed a potential competitor but, again, you are just thinking about the hosting, while Huggingface provides an API…
