I mean, this could be phase 2 of career growth. Focus on personal growth first by surrounding by experts.

The static nature of LLMs is a compelling argument against the reasoning ability. But, it can learn, albeit in a limited way, using the context. Though to my knowledge that doesn't scale well.

I do see your point, and it is a good point. My observation is that the models are better at evaluating than they are generating, this is the technique used in the o1 models. They will use unaligned hidden tokens as "thinking" ste

If we do figure out how to vet these thoughts, would you call it reasoning?

This is not totally my experience, I've debated a successful engineer who by all accounts has good reasoning skills, but he will absolutely double down on unreasonable ideas he's made on the fly he if can find what he considers a

Have you had a go with the o1 range of models?

I think you're right The danger is two fold 1. People don't eat fatty foods which have solid evidence for their benefits (e.g. Virgin olive oil) 2. People substitute the lack of fats with sugar, which I believe (not an expert) has

Argh, what has Black Mirror done to our sense of optimism? (I agree with you).

I mentioned in another comment, I enjoyed the structure and found it much easier to process. This is despite mostly reading long form articles and never having been a huge twitter user.

On the contrary, I have never been a heavy twitter user, yet I would dearly love all articles I read to be broken down like this. I definitely find it easier to process a list structure like this.

I am currently tinkering with this all, you can download a 3b parameter model and run it on your phone. Of course it isn't that great, but I had a 3b param model[1] on my potato computer (a mid ryzen cpu with onboard graphics) that doe

At the risk of sounding a bit dumb, I shorted my motherboard with a USB A, it felt like I got it right, and pushed it in, at which point it shutdown. Fortunately there didn't seem to be any permanent damage

Does it not provide some protection against a buffer overflow?

Yes it would be prevented by the borrow checker.

That page mentions the potential for weaponisation with a 100% fatality rate. Well thank you very much for another thing to keep me awake at night.

Out of interest, have you built anything non-trivial with tailwind? I've used CSS, and Tailwind and not worrying about naming everything correctly and not skipping around different files is a dream for me. Perhaps that's my brain,

That sounds like a good litmus test. Do you have a specific example you've tried? My opinion is it isn't binary, rather it's a scale. Your example is a point on the scale higher than what it is now. But perhaps that's to

I have a hunch I am misunderstanding your argument, but does that mean the only way to build a "true reasoning machine" would be to just create a human. I guess what I'm really asking, what would you expect to observe to make

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. It's really easy to trash on someone for not getting it right, but IMO we should congratulate on the achievement of actually making something, and give feedback on how to make it
