As per the post, this mathematician has been working on this problem for 20 years. So either he was "just" about to breakthrough and this is a big coincidence, or Astra was able to push through the remaining block of 5-10-20-never

Can someone ELI5 how LLMs are manipulating environments like this? I have a similar question for when you see the blender examples online. AFAIU the models are multimodal, so you could screenshot factorio and let it come back with some mani

I agree, but I also long considered llm's stochastic parrots. Then this year happened. Opus/Sol are easily far smarter programmers than I, and this thing supposedly blows them out of the water. Once an LLM is a better doctor, rese

I think you misunderstood the emphasis there - yes Europeans love football. The point is that it's so blatant for such little gain, it's still a game. I.e. if he is willing to do that so openly for such low stakes, imagine what he

As a European... please no. I'm so tired of the US trying to fight a proxy political turf war by fitting their simplistic maga/democrat viewpoints over everything. The truth, it's pretty complicated. But since all things US b

People can come together on a project and not involve their politics in that project or their communal interaction. And then in their own private sphere they are free to express their opinions. The fact this is confusing to people beggars b

It must get exhausting keeping track of what everybody thinks to know if a project is worthwhile. In this case, I hate to tell you - the owner of the company you work for invested a million into this. So... you should probably quit your job

What a ridiculous strawman. OP wasn't proposing removing the police, and any charitable take would have understood that given the topic of the article.

If you think the premise and conclusion of Op's statement form a tautology then you agree with him strongly.

From the title alone I was going to comment that these tools we build are not about not procrastinating but about chasing some illusionary productivity. My own examples - Instead of learning a language, I can write a tool that generates fla

This is a silly form of no true Scotsman, you don't create a Messi if he had been kicking a coke can around.

That's good advice to stay employable. But I used to enjoy learning - I think most of us did. The existential crisis many are experiencing is about the lack of fulfilment in rolling an LLM slot machine all day in an already dopamine de

Or simple economics kicks in, price/demand all that. If hand coding pays better there will be plenty who can still do that.

The new solution is better. It’s so good we must get all the big players to mandate its usage. If ur making an appeal on a forum like this u could have gone with ur favorite feature, or anything else really.

I think reparations could be spent as they see fit. Reconstruction implies the money is going to exactly that. But I agree it's a weird nitpick at this stage, as it seems almost impossible to verify once in place

Taxpayer money project being tied to a dependency on Apple google is 100% counter what that money should be used for. You are copy pasting a “correct” argument against eu bureaucracy in the absolute wrong space

If there is a 15 move sequence that leads to a guaranteed win, stockfish would not call it a 1 pawn advantage (given the sufficient calculation time) instead calling it a won position. I think you may be mistaking your understanding of stoc

Eh, this is the kind of pithy soundbite that sounds vaguely deep and intelligent but doesn't hold up. In what domains have you had experience taking non programmers with domain knowledge and making them programmers?

OP did't like anthropomorphizing an LLM. And you tried to explain the whole thing to him from the perspective of a duck.

for what it's worth, it didn't seem odd to me. I guess the missing article and phrase indicate it's a verb. "So AI can ... developers" is begging for a verb, there is no room for an adjective there.

It's almost as if it depends on the context and there isn't a simplistic bumper sticker approach.
