There are no clear details about what DOGE will alter. All the information we have so far amounts to outrage-bait one-liners. Where and how are they deciding to make cuts, and whic…

> And then I tried gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct. This is a closed OpenAI model, so details are very murky. How do you know it didn't just write a script that uses a chess engine and then…

Kinda? Chess isn't solved. Complex problems can have better solutions discovered in the future.

Anyone have a technical writeup of the actual bug? I'm trying to explain how this could happen to people who think this is related to AI or cyber attacks. What happened to the QA t…

What APIs left an impression on you and why? Were they particularly well-designed, intuitive, or well-supported? What designs or features of this API would you like to see be more …

Doesn’t make much sense for Hikaru to cheat. He competes over the board where it’s much harder to cheat, and he makes most of his money through streaming, not through competition r…

What about safety during accidents? It's better to be driving a heavier car in that case.

I would love if when buying an iPhone I was able to specify an entire class of apps that I could not install. For example, I could be banned at an OS level from a curated suite of …

I'm not the best engineer, but if my engineering skill is p50, my memory and ability to talk about technical things is probably p10. I strongly favor asynchronous communication lik…

Don't we already have many answers? -- We just do nothing to address the problems.

Pragmatically, we need way more investment in environmental engineering and policies that put conservation first. Since collectively we can't be bothered because we all need the ne…

Can someone explain why this is being downvoted?

> We document appearance effects in the economics profession. Using unique data on PhD graduates from ten of the top economics departments in the United States we test whether more…

I'm at about $700/mth but I don't see why I can't make it to $2k monthly. It's a Slackbot [1,2] that assists user story refinement for Jira. If you're a SWE that uses agile methodo…

Thank you for commenting these in. I find this quote "That when allowed to be themselves, their psychological issues largely disappear." interesting and hopeful -- and the way it's…

Oh so there is pre-processing to find the useful portions? What are you using for the pre-processing? I feel that it's inevitable that OpenAI et al. will be able to handle large PD…

What OpenAI API calls allow sending these small chunks? When you query something like "What is this research about?" is it able to use data from all chunks?

Lost me on "9 year olds"

I'd like legislation that acknowledges both the utility and harm that social media and more generally smartphones have. All I want is an internet-based texting only mobile-phone th…

Given that the topic is pretty politicized and they didn't go into that much detail about controlling for possible confounding variables, I think the author is trying to express th…

> Across many applications areas, we’ll be left with a choice of using a 90% accurate model we understand, or 99% accurate model we don’t. And how do you show that it is 99% accura…

Had me in the first half, lost me in the second. Why not try to create unions instead of "don't document anything because you're making yourself replaceable"?

Since the code is working and the main problems are the lack of documentation & structure, would it be possible to refactor & add comments with AI techniques? Or transpose it to ja…

You are missing something but not what you think

It sounds like the author enjoys programming in a vacuum, math, and theory. Those are basically useless for a software engineer. Being a subject expert and having the codebase and …
