Another restatement of Brandolini’s Law. The cost of parroting this kind of information is very low, while the cost of refuting it is very high. And the value an outlet can extract from its readership to fund that refutation is nowhere clos

One thought is once it can touch the underlying system, it can provision resources, spawn processes, and persist itself, crossing the line from tool to autonomous entity. I admit you could do that in a browser shell nowadays, just maybe wit

Officers are a limited resource, so their deployment matters. Are they assigned to areas that most benefit citizens, or those that most benefit the city? Is the focus on maximizing ticket revenue, or addressing the most dangerous violations

Officer 0336 is raking it in for the city. I wonder if there is a correlation with the areas which generate a lot of tickets and other city datasets. Perhaps crime rate or average household income?

I think we’ve always shaped ourselves based what we’re capable of building. Think of how infrastructure such as buildings and roadways shape our lives within them. What I do agree with you, is how LLMs are shaping our mental thought how we

I agree that these visuals rarely drive decisions on their own. They’re more like supporting tools… useful for framing an argument or guiding a narrative in a presentation, especially when static. Unless it’s interactive or tied to live dat

Maybe some reverse attribution to determine how much credit to give different sources in the old top k results. Maybe a llm that is trained on fact finding, and giving proper % of credit. But this would probably require a collective contra

“‘It’s still learning’ is a misnomer. The model isn’t learning—we are. LLMs are static after training; all improvement comes from human iteration in the outer loop: fine-tuning, prompt engineering, tool integration, retrieval. Until the out

Was going to point this out too. One suggestion would be to try this on libraries having recent major semvar bumps. See if the compressed docs do better on the backwards incompatible changes.

I vividly remember the difference intense hockey conditioning camps, sleep and recovery can cause. During these camp I pushed my heart, with many drills being 30+ seconds at max heart rate. Afterwards I was exhausted, chest felt terrible.

I’ll add that even if the papers we all wanted were more freely accesible, the replication and completeness of their described methods would be another source of slowdown.

For most non-perishables it’s the most time efficient in minimizing the number of trips. Also given how often I go, ~once a month, each time I get the same sort of novelty as a Trader Joe's for they will have swapped out many items.

If the “Lindy effect” holds true for the 911, it might be quite a long time before the 911 and its variants go out of style. The same cannot be said for the cyber truck, and all of the other short lived prototype cars that have very harsh

For the example the op gave, probably not for an adult. But younger kids might. Also for complex domains, I find that dreams enumerate more possibilities/scenarios than I would have if awake.

I hope there will be a HBR or some other case study done on Yellow, because the interplay between bad loans + union demands + poor management seems like something US businesses need to be more prepared for.

One could argue we do already via code generation when we define protobuf definitions or other idl’s. But yeah a chat oriented idl which then code generates c, Go, python, just based on the required problem domain is an interesting vision.

Yep. This is a quintessential example of “I’m going to learn by recreating the essence of a complex thing”… taken to the end. And then a logo is slapped on top. I’m all for js libs but this is not performant. Just use redis.
