Turbo is basically unusable. It doesn't produce code. It produces steps.

LLMs aren't logical machines, so any non-trivial bug-fix is just likely to introduce more bugs. It's a bit of a misunderstanding of how LLMs are supposed to be used. One caveat is if you're very untalented, it might be able t

I think it's a little questionable to prompt language models with "bugs you're trying to solve".

If you want to secure the future for your people, you need to execute large government infrastructure programs. Turns out leaving all of this to the profit motive puts people on the street. Amazing.

What metrics would you prefer? Feelings? Regarding France, my understanding is that their scores are some of the lowest in Europe and below the OCED average on the PISA exam (comparatively, the United States is above the OCED average), thou

The problem is when the "ordering" of science is horizontal. I.e. Einstein reading their works and copying their conclusions. This is highly likely to have happened, regardless of the "completeness" of one work or anothe

Right, it's not so much a critique of the author's work that I've presented as much as a meta-commentary on the article in the context that we're posting on a forum that aggregates content for public consumption. The aut

I like how the concept that third world workers that are exploited by greedy capitalists to undercut native labor are being treated unfairly and exploited is presented as novel. That's literally why they're there in the first plac

If you want to talk about contributions to the general theory of relativity, why not talk about the people that Einstein is alleged to have plagiarized, Henri Poincaré, David Hilbert and Hendrik Antoon Lorentz?

You're hand-waving the effects of a labor surplus created by immigration on wages. During covid-19, when immigration was suppressed and the labor surplus was attenuated, something amazing happened -- wages rose across the board in Amer

I'm not confusing anything, so your comment ended up being useless noise.

Another facet to it is that most disciplines where you can just about-face all of your established core theses is generally called "pseudoscience".

One thing that absolutely savages my mind is the fact that those on the nominal left-wing have abandoned this obvious truth and focused on an ideology that benefits some sort of global majority versus their own theoretical constituents. The

I don't really think reading books is the way to go generally to improve at the job of making things, at least, not any of those books. Making things seems to do the trick there.

In the job market, it's all about how you stack up to other people. That kid that blows you away will likely stagnate like all of us, he might pick up a few tricks, though.

I'm not entirely convinced. I've seen interns that are better than some of my 15+ year colleagues. I'm better than most of them myself, but I've also seen interns better than me -- better problem solving skills and atten

This book took me from having nothing -- literally being a political science major grocery store employee -- to making 2xx,xxx YOY. It was challenging and made me question whether or not I had it in me to code. Turns out, I could, and, vis-

It also makes you feel like something as trivial as taking out your garbage out to the curb is a monumental physical task. The quality of life improvement from not being obese is obscene.

Being negatively predisposed to bad things is both normal and healthy behavior. Also, using heuristics to make judgments about situations is how intelligence works.

>fatphobia First of all, I really find this term to be gross. You should be afraid of being unhealthy. Second of all, are you posting that you have individual metabolic differences that substantially alter your caloric expenditure? FYI m

A controversial take from this is that, aside from the health benefits, you will also accrue personal and professional benefits from not being fat. I remember interviewing when I was chubbier post-COVID thinking that the only evidence the i
