Isn't this a case of missing the trees for the forest though? The human brain is not an LLM, and an LLM is not intelligent in the same way as a human brain. However, an LLM is a prediction machine, prediction IS at the very least one (

Intelligence is compression, compression requires subtraction, and for some reason LLMs are not good at subtracting. To create a coherent model you kinda have to subtract correlations until only the essential parts are still there. What I d

Completely agree. AI is very impressive in many ways but there is something deeply wrong that is hard to put into words. The output is probable but never true, if that makes sense. I think this is also the mechanism behind why AI generated

I think the last one is by far the biggest reason for why this happens way less in humans. In every conversation, almost for every sentence, people gauge the response their words have on whoever is listening. If something didn't land a

Maybe, or maybe you are overly pattern matching on what you what to be true? I don't think anyone would mind having a competent manager or PM in a standup, someone that is actually contributing towards finding solutions and ways to mov

Isn't this only a transitionary problem though? Right now, during the transition there is no incentive for humans to write anything, it will get drowned in AI slop. As time goes on, more and more people will recognize this problem and

The end goal though (in my understanding) has never been for an LLM to regurgitate knowledge it ingested during its training. The end goal is to use the patterns and correlations found in internet data to generate an emergent prediction and

For well-scoped tasks I wouldn't say the code is bad, not brilliant for sure, but definitively good enough. For a lot of problems "quick and good enough" is all that is required. I've used it a lot for managing my Home A

Subsidized from a capex perspective maybe, but the profit margins for API-priced inference tokens are likely very high. Also, a lot of people get stuck on the idea that the main use case of LLMs is to generate more production code. I don&#x

A large part of the world population is poor, and they do not have the same level of health problems, nor are they similarly obese. Not purely diet related, but a huge part of it for sure.

The wage structure is very flat in my country, the average wage is only around 15% higher than the median. The median wage is very livable on. For essential or basic needs I would estimate you would only need ~70% of the median wage. I appr

I don't understand this data at all. All of the rich Western European countries has over 200h required work per month, but I don't know of anyone in my country (high or low income) working more than roughly 40h per week.

There is no electronic lock as far as I know, as many people seem to assume. It's a mechanical notch that you have to physically pull the switch past to operate it. The lock failures described in the air worthiness directive was about

That’s an interesting perspective, and it makes sense it works. Thankfulness is known to provide a lot of psychological benefits, such as greater appreciation of the thing you are thankful for. Where it goes wrong though is if we take it to

This is what I think a lot people don't understand when it comes to unruly IT systems in large organizations. Deutsche Bank does not have an IT or software engineering problem, they have a culture and corporate politics problem. Even i

That's a mind-boggling theory actually, that some general survival skills are encoded in the parent-child relationship. Basically you have to become a parent to level-up your survival skills. I wouldn't put it past evolution to en

I think it's more an indication of higher expectations in child-rearing. If you're struggling daily for survival and 7/10 of your children will die before age 6 I don't think can afford to spend hours every day experimen

Yes, if unions exist at the company (which they did at Klarna), a company is required by law to negotiate with ALL employee organisations present at the company. This is one of the reasons large companies adopt kollektivavtal, it allows the

On average over a longer period variable rates will always be lower, since the risk premium due to future rate uncertainty will be lower. If that period is a 100 years it won't help lenders much though.

It's the same case in Sweden, all new lenders have to be able to handle rates of 6-8%.

People are quite loyal to their grocery store. The shut down means all of their customers are forced to try out another grocery store, could hit them hard long-term.

Dressing appropriately does not mean "dressing up". It means dressing slightly above what is generally accepted as the normal dress code for the role your interviewing for, and the culture of the company. This is what makes it so

As others have pointed out, it depends on time of year and where you live. Far north, e.g. Canada, the U.K, Scandinavia the sun won't give you any Vitamin D at all for roughly six months of the year.

How is there a lack of supply and not of demand right now? Most of China is already back to work, and we'll see lack of demand in the coming weeks/months when people isolate themselves and not going out buying things.

I'm not saying everyone is rational, I'm just saying there is no reliable way of predicting when the market has bottomed out. DCA-ing on the way down means I will at least buy lower than a year ago. I have no way of knowing when w

The problem is separating the great recessions from less dramatic recessions. Was 2008/2009 a once in a decade recession or once in a century recession? In a normal recession you'll never get Ford for $1, and most stocks will neve

Are all bear markets the same? If there's a clear signal when to start buying why isn't everyone doing it? To me technical analysis of the stock market is the modern equivalent of a shaman predicting next year's harvest. It s
