Most required readings are just boy books. Not being part of the intended audience gives you understanding of other people.

The closest analogy I can think of to The Great Gatsby is American Psycho. The whole point of it is to feel like a pretentious act played by the characters. They’re not meant to be relatable or show growth. I guess it’s one of those things

So basically, no one knows the correct spelling or where it came from, but in true redditor fashion everyone insists it’s the more intellectual option and everyone who disagrees is an idiot.

It’s not some conspiracy. If they knew how to make the AI responses better and more concise, they would. They just don’t yet.

This reminds me of the story of Narcissus. The tragedy is that he cannot love anyone who loves him, because he cannot love himself. When he rejects the advances of the young man Ameinias, he is punished by Nemesis who proclaims that Narciss

It’s just the wrong analogy. Harnesses, for the most part, extend an agent’s capabilities and better ground them in the real world through tools and the ability to check external sources, rather than restricting them.

Think about how much scrolling through UIs, settings menus, and different interfaces we have for every app that are all designed differently. Is this really peak technology, or something that is just the best we’ve been able to do without “

OpenAI isn’t interested in useless products that sell for quick money. They want people to use it, they want to be embedded in the public’s mindshare.

Reactionary emotional advice does no good, it just makes people want to hold their positions more defensively. If you care enough to say something, care enough to say it with reasons that might shift someone’s perspective.

“We’ve noticed you keep dying to this boss. Would you like to play on the difficulty intended for children instead?”

Almost no part of that is due to people using machines they do not understand.

Because it’s cheaper to pay for the tokens than to pay their engineers to worry about a worse, homebrewed setup.

Are you American? I used my American drivers license for verifying a personal account and it was approved with no problem. I wonder how they decide.

To say that students don’t benefit from getting good grades using LLMs is incredibly naive. Learning is only about the third or fourth most important “benefit” for students, after getting a degree, getting good grades, and making connection

The only pseudo-intellectualism I see is from you. You’re missing the whole point.

It’s just a matter of perspective. Procedures and memory are the same, and they’re also different, depending on how you want to look at it.

Prayer does work, through the mechanism of putting your thoughts in perspective and context and sharing them outside yourself. Whether or not people understand the reason “why” it works doesn’t matter.

I’ve noticed this too. Any idea why modern language books get this so wrong?

It’s always funny to me to see people in tech, who have largely been employed to put other people out of work for the last 50 years, change their stance on tech as soon as it starts to affect them.

Code has always been a bottleneck for any product which involves software.

What bizarre advice. It completely misses the point.

You’re right. Maybe a statement with something like “Never bet against America!”

You’re still living in the past. It will be an LLM working on it in the future.

Right now, you’d use skyscanner directly for finding flights. Maybe Expedia for hotels. What if instead of needing to know about what app to use for every different type of thing you wanted to book, and dealing with their own separate UIs a

Anyone who’s trying to make money through stuff like this (versus just experimenting) is using one of the many paid captcha-solving APIs, which cost a cent or two per solved captcha.

It it was the case, Iran underestimates how vindictive Americans are.

What is good code now is only good code because of the bad programming languages we’ve had to accept for the last hundred years because we’re tied to incremental improvements. We’re tied to static brittle types. But look at natural systems
