What does self referential have to do with anything? These LLMs have proven they can "talk about themselves". > an individual act or product of thinking Emphasis on "product of thinking". Though you'll probably

Self driving cars aren't fully autonomous yet. They occasionally require human intervention to make decisions, which I would guess makes it difficult to steal these cars without being detected. They're constantly cloud connected a

Way to cherry pick the one definition that fits your argument and ignore all the other definitions which kinda fit for what this model is doing.

Fascinating stuff! It reminds me a little of chaos theory. The average person probably wouldn't expect to find structure in chaos, but that's exactly what we have. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feigenbaum_co

It's called terminology. Every field has words that mean very different things from the layman's definition. It's nothing to get upset about.

The second video is the one I recall, though it seems I'm the one misremembering details. As for that first video, honestly it feels phony/staged, like all that fake miraculous crap that was common on TV 10-20 years ago.

I know the experiment you're referring to. It's been a long time since I've seen it, no idea how to find it now, but you're definitely misremembering some details. Dogs do have a sense of time, but in that experiment, it

I guess one good thing about this patent is it may prevent other automakers from implementing such systems.

Many of us, not all of us. More so than the average population.

Acquisitions/mergers are one of the great evils of capitalism which only serve to consolidate power into mega corporations. Governments are far too permissive of them. The vast majority should be flat out rejected.

The sad truth is, most people simply don't care about anything that doesn't affect them. Yes, there are people who do care, like many of us here on Hacker News, but we are very much in the minority. And even among those who do car

Why does the title mention specifically duckdb and postgres? It sounds like it supports multiple embedded and remote databases, and I don't see anything special in the README specifically about this pairing...

Grep is nice, but I would much prefer better tools for searching through code. Something that knows how to parse multiple languages and can infer the types of things. Not to mention indexing, for large code bases, grep'ing through poss

I've noticed Windows is buggier when I disable certain features or tweak certain configurations. I'm not suggesting it's deliberate, but maybe just not well tested by Microsoft. For example, using the registry to disable copi

Only if you use the decompiled code. But if one team uses decompiled code to write up a spec, then another team writes an implementation based on that spec, then that could be considered clean room design. In this case, the decompiler would

I think there's actually some potential here, considering LLMs are already very good at translating text between human languages. I don't think LLMs on their own would be very good, but a specially trained AI model perhaps, such a

I had no idea Kotlin could do this. I never thought to check. I guess with Kotlin being a JVM language, I simply assumed it wasn't possible. Thank you for providing an example because I was a little confused by a couple other comments

A bit of a contrived example, but something like this (two for statements): [x*y for x in range (10) for y in range(10)] It's not often, but occasionally there are moments where I'm writing code in Kotlin and wish I could use a li

I think both languages have their strengths. I love Kotlin for its functional programming (map, filter, etc) and strong static typing. But Python has some nice features as well, such as list comprehension, the 'yield' keyword, and

I tried it out about a week ago in a VM. I like what I'm seeing so far but the alpha state is very apparent. Simply trying to configure things is still quite buggy. Then, within 5 minutes, something happened that the whole desktop is b

I'm not commenting on the practicality or viability of this. Rather, I see a lot of commenters talking about cost. I understand some projects or technologies would literally be too expensive, but realistically, we need to move away f

My problem is it's overpriced for what you get. I do own an IKEA dresser, was good enough for the price I paid a few years ago, but it's more than doubled in price since then. I have a little $25 bookshelf from Walmart that's

IKEA furniture quality has dropped severely in recent years. Even their solid wood pine furniture has dropped in quality. You can find better quality furniture at Walmart these days. IKEA was never top quality, but used to be good enough fo

The bigger problem I've seen is high turnover rates in the industry. The people who built and know the system leave. There wasn't a sufficient window for KT (knowledge transfer), so you're left with a bunch of new devs who on

So? What's your point? It doesn't change the fact that LLMs hallucinate bullshit all the time. It doesn't change the fact that I don't trust anything coming out of an LLM.
