They're not. It's real world when there's a market for paying Zig jobs, not when you can list a few github repos that use it.

I wonder if there's some kind of online board or forum where people post about tech... Also, have you tried working instead of twitter? Learning instead of twitter? Just no twitter instead of twitter? Whatever useful thing you're

You're conflating consciousness and AGI. People are certainly talking about AI, people are very broadly talking about AGI and what that term means. I don't think many people are talking about consciousness in this context, at leas

Not the person you asked but I have good data - I lost 32kg over 6 months on tirzepatide, 11kg of it was lean body mass, the rest was fat (based on DEXA scans). In general, lean body mass loss is more of a result of rapid weight loss (I cer

No more leaderboard too! These look like positive changes, a 2x longer event isn't 2x more fun or 2x more satisfying to participate in. After skipping the past couple of years, I feel like I'm more likely to give it a go again thi

Humans aren’t freely choosing what they want either, not sure how you can expect it from machines.

No, my point has nothing to do with creativity. It's about the fact that their output is taylored to look and sound in a certain way in the later stages of model training, it's not representative of the original text data the base

This isn’t accurate - most of the style comes from the fine tuning and reinforcement learning, not from the original training data. At some point people got this idea that LLMs just repeat or imitate their training data, and that’s complete

When Julia came out neither Python nor data science and ML had the popularity they have today. Even 7-8 years ago people we're still having Python vs R debates.

1. All the changes in AI from the past couple of years have only increased demand for MLEs. The job profile kind of widened too, - MLE has always been a subset of SWE but even more so if you're working with LLMs. So some MLE jobs will
