I mostly agree with everything you said. Do you feel the same way about code written by an LLM?

Exactly. HN darling Paul Graham writes this way. I find the constant critique of punchy style a bit tiring. It would be more productive for the grandparent to think about the content and state an opinion.

The link in the article that is right near the words you're talking about links to a wikipedia page that says the book is from 2005. So I conclude it was 2005 or soon after

So far i really like what it does for the example articles shown. I want to test it on 1 or 2 articles I know well, and if it passes that test it's a product I'd totally pay for.

I generally agree with the broader point you're making, but I also think there's nothing wrong with pointing out how messed up it is that that's the reality of the choice. The whole point of improving society is to eliminate

Maybe. Those could be the case. But ignoring all confounding factors, this phenomenon is possible with numerical experiments alone. One of the meanings of "the Law of Small Numbers". Basically, the possibility that the small study

I agree with most everything you said. The problem has always been the short-term job loss, particularly today where society as a whole has resources for safety nets, but hasnt implemented them. Anger at companies who hold power in multiple

As much as I like the article, I begrudgingly agree with you, which is why I think the author mentions the physical constraints of energy as the future wall that companies will have to deal with. The question is do we think that will actual

In my experience in neuroscience it even differs widely across programs/universities. Some good professors care about giving good talks, and if you're lucky it becomes contagious in the program. Others think less of you if it&#x27

Yeah, but still "scary" because you have to be really careful to not fool yourself and pay attention even with those algorithms. For example, a good demonstration with tsne https://distill.pub/2016/misread-tsn

Being there 24/7? Yes. Better job? I'll believe it when I see it. You're arguing 2 different things at once

Wow a sane person among all the hype. Great to see you!

I really do agree with your point overall, but in a technical paper I do think even word choice can be implicitly a claim. Scientists present what they know or are claiming and thus word it carefully. My background is neuroscience, where an

I agree with your point except for scientific papers. Let's push ourselves to use precise, non-shorthand or hand waving in technical papers and publications, yes? If not there, of all places, then where?

I agree. Isn't this just utilizing the representation learning that's happened under the hood of the LLM?

Have you seen the statistics about high impact journals having higher retraction/unverified rates on papers? The root causes can be argued...but keep that in mind. No single paper is proof. Bodies of work across many labs, independent

Adjusted for inflation? Without (crippling) debt accrual and adequate emergency fund, retirement, etc? Did you have children or childcare expenses? These all knock on that total compensation quickly these days, which is the main argument in

We agree, minimum wage doesnt mean that. And in a large metro area, that's why $120k is closer to min wage than a good standard of lliving and building retirement.

by lamename 1y ago
I disagree. Your data doesnt make the grandparent's assertion false. Cost of living != per capita or median income. Factoring in sensible retirement, expensive housing, inflation, etc, I think the $120k figure may not be perfect, but i

It's simpler than that. "Prestigious" universities emphasize research prestige over all else on faculty. Faculty optimize for it and some even delight in being "hard" (bad) teachers because they see it as beneath th

Yes I agree. They will and should blame the human. That's a problem when the human isnt given enough time to complete projects because "AI is SO productive"
