Of course it does, if you start filtering people out at random then you have pointlessly introduced the possibility of randomly filtering out the best candidate.

Libraries do a LOT more than that. Abstractions also make LLMs more efficient, and lets some problems be handed off to much cheaper algorithms. They also mean that the way data is handled can be standardized which means you don't have

People have been told for so long that private companies are more efficient than government that they have started to simply believe it, as if the problems of large scale organisation aren't universal.

Unlike the hacking one, this would be impossible to bullshit as long as the proofs are released. They can be verified independently, and the alternative is that they solved 10 major open mathematical questions without the AI, which seems le

The thing you're missing here is timelines. The reason renewables are expensive is because it requires a grid upgrade to make it work, whereas replacing the old coal generators with new ones wouldn't so much. The kicker is though

Sure, but that apparently only costs $500. If you do that once a month then that's still basically free. Hell if you do it once a week it's still about as much as a single cheap employee.

Yes but all of those things are independent of the size of the country, which is the point.

Do you imagine an infrastructure project in ANY country is managed like a project in a small company?

The difference is that the US companies are using it as a means to an end, they need to make just enough profit that the investors don't all get cold feet before they get to AGI. The Chinese companies on the other hand are trying to be

Just because the users were already sick when they started using ChatGPT doesn't mean that ChatGPT isn't exacerbating the issue. Sickness isn't a boolean condition. A big problem with LLMs in general when it comes to people l

In my experience AI can write _something_ from scratch, but often edge cases won't be handled until I go through and read the results or test it. Usually when I'm writing by hand I will naturally find the majority of edge cases as

Agile cannot go over budget or scope because those are failures of planning. Agile is the methodology that was developed specifically to counteract those problems with planning. Projects that use Agile can go over budget and scope but they

Which is fine, the average bike thief is not going to expect to need them.

Yes, there's a reason it was abandoned as a KPI almost as soon as it was introduced. Just because AI is writing the code instead now doesn't magically make it a good metric.

You should have kept reading. For performance-sensitive scenarios where case types include value types, libraries can also implement the non-boxing access pattern by adding a HasValue property and TryGetValue methods. This lets the comp

Actually you're right, I was going by the source code which was in the link of the comment you replied to, but I missed that that was specifically for divExact and not just primitive division.

by Turskarama 6mo ago
More specifically, Zig will return an error type from the division and if this isn't handled THEN it will panic, kind of like an exception except it can be handled with proper pattern matching.

Have you ever had a concept you wanted to express, known that there was a word for it, but struggled to remember what the word was? For human thought and speech to work that way it must be fundamentally different to what an LLM does. The co

The point is that it's a litmus test for how well the models do with niche knowledge _in general_. The point isn't really to know how well the model works for that specific niche. Ideally of course you would use a few of them and

I think ideally you need to practice both slow AND fast. You need to practice slow so you can notice and work on small details that can be skipped over with speed, and you need to practice fast because some things are legitimately different

The problem with publicly disclosing these is that if lots of people adopt them they will become targeted to be in the model and will no longer be a good benchmark.

The problem with integrating a chat bot is that what you are effectively doing is the same thing as adding a single bookmark, except now it's taking up extra space. There IS no advantage here, it's unnecessary bloat.

The computer chips used for AI generate significantly more heat than the chips on the JWST. The JWST in total weighs 6.5 tons and uses a mere 2kw of power, which is the same as 3 H100 GPUs under load, each of which will weight what, 1kg? So

They didn't actually fix this until a couple of months after they publicly revealed that this was the reason the game was so big and a lot of people pointed out how dumb it is. I saw quite a few comments saying that people put it on th

It actually is somewhat a limit of the technology. LLMs can't go back and modify their own output, later tokens are always dependent on earlier tokens and they can't do anything out of order. "Thinking" helps somewhat by
