Just shows the offset openai feels like it has to add to ‘equalize’ the average discourse of its training material

In my experience an LLM does 2 things: 1. Bring you up to some average-LLM level when you don’t have the skills/knowledge to actually do what you want. 2. Work at 80-90% of your capacity but WAY faster than you physically could dependi

Microsoft ban any % speedrun soon. Is this what the employees do nowadays while their AI is generating code?

This is very important to write on. A lot of people believe news is worth consuming for the truth and often cite it as a primary source of information. News producers may not necessarily lie but they cherry pick to maximize reach and that

I’ve been using hacks to do this for a long time. I wish it was simpler in C++. I love C++ typing but hate the syntax and defaults. It’s so complicated to get started with. https://github.com/Mk-Chan/libchess/blob&

That should happen if the training dataset (which is presumably based on the real world) reflects that happening.

Following the paper, if you end up with a gender balanced workforce, it implies there is surely a bias in one of the variables - the candidate pool (like you say) or the evaluation of a candidate or other related things. However the bias mu

Going by this: https://www.aeaweb.org/conference/2025/program/paper/3Y3SD8T... which states “… founding teams comprised of all men are most common (75% in 2022)…” it might actually make sense that the LL

Not sure why OP is getting downvoted. Going the premise of the cited doctrine, it follows precisely that even doing illegal things are acceptable as long as there is net gain until the expected future. OP doesn’t even claim this is the one

I don't actually use the program in my stead, I just put it up against other programs in computer chess tournaments.

It’s the same reason I stopped playing chess, but it only hit me later that I lost interest because of the program I wrote. Now I just play casually if a friend wants to.

The way I put it was meant to be slightly amusing, but let me put it a different way for the sake of discussion. For this purpose, I like to mentally model a country (or territory which decided to hold an election of some kind) as a collect

Ironically, tyranny of the majority is a very very good definition of democracy if you drill the majority down into subcategorical majorities recursively until you reach the individual who might be severely disconnected from the averages.

The article is nice and the intention seems to be good, but it’s not backed up by the fundamentals. The salary range posted in the job listing is low enough that anyone who would answer the questions to my satisfaction (personal opinion) an

I’ll believe their proficiency claims when they replace all their software developers, knowledge workers and PhDs with this stuff.

There’s no real connection to junior developers in this article. It’s a piece about how the author feels people are using AI and how the author feels people should use AI. The quick fix vs deep understanding positions are mired by many fact

The reason here is Microsoft is trying to make copilot a platform. This is the essential step to moving all the power from OpenAI to Microsoft. It would grant Microsoft leverage over all providers since the customers would depend on Microso

Officially banning fake reviews to introduce liability is a good start, but the real challenge with reviews is the incentive structure. For positive reviews, a business will figure out customers who they already know had a positive experien

Yes this seems likely because important things like government websites and banks seem to always come up.

Lack of thorough testing by the people who make the call for release maybe. I’m sure the people doing the grunt work brought it up.

Yes, you have to expect the future (or even better if your manager/boss already has expectations you can adopt to begin with) and then choose the right way to tackle the changes required. That's why I laid out 3 possible cases the

I’m not sure why there’s so much focus on refactoring or improving it. When a feature needs to be added that can just be tacked onto the code, do it without touching anything else. If it’s a big enough change, export whatever you need out o

This is the perspective I’ve come to learn as well. Fact of the matter is what you want to do (and perhaps sell) is what actually matters, not the tools you use to achieve it. Programming language, frameworks, monitoring tech, monolith, mic

I used chatgpt4 to generate python code which generates c++ code for a hobby project of mine using a library I've never used before. The iteration speed is ridiculously good and no one in any of the IRC or discord channels I visited po

It is indeed an unfair advantage to have bosses who care deeply about the products in addition to revenue!

Pick something you know how to build already, a familiar concept reduces a variable in the learning process and build something for yourself using the new tool or subject. Whether it be writing a blog/review about it or coding a medium

It’s not so simple. Many manufacturers set a minimum advertised price which would require legislation to change. Additionally advertising a certain price and actually selling at a different price is a surefire way to get delisted from googl

It's a tight rope arguing who deserves what when a lot of business are built on this chain of platforms (like a supply chain). News agencies have many channels, probably some of the largest being FB and G (hence this post) and now they
