I also noticed Gemini's habit of getting stuck on things I said. It became evident quite quickly. I haven't noticed this in the same way in any other model. Something's wrong with that boy

Infantile take. Here's a positive: creates incentive for people who want to compete to actually make something new. If we could just freely clone generational hit games and make millions off them, only idiots would make new games.

You're not using the good models and then blaming the tool? Just use claude models. Copilot's main problem seems to be people don't know how to use it. They need to delete all their plugins except the vscode, CLI ones, and di

Not my experience at all. Copilot launched as a useless code complete, is now basically the same as anything. It's all converging. The features are converging, but the features barely matter anyway when Opus is just doing all the heavy

Gambling sites probably do have it in their user agreements. Further, "insider trading" in prediction markets is probably fundamentally illegal under existing commodities fraud laws in the US (I am not a lawyer,) but there's

Your own wiki link disagrees with you, most of the article uses landlordism as the base-level example. You've just discovered how "rent seeking" is used as a more broad term to describe many phenomena, but they're still

I think they were referring to the costs of training and hosting the models. You're counting the cost of what you're buying, but the people selling it to you are in the red.

In my experience owning private stock, you basically own part of a pool. (Hopefully the exact same classes of shares as the board has or else it's a scam.) The board controls the pool, and whenever they do dividends or transfer ownersh

Postgres nationalists will applaud the conclusion no matter how bad the reasoning is. Don't get me wrong, the idea that he wants to just use a RDMBS because his needs aren't great enough, is a perfectly inoffensive conclusion. The

That's how I've always characterized them. But if you think about it, it's not really true. The LLM is "lossily" containing things an encyclopedia would never contain. An encyclopedia, no matter how large, would nev

the quality is definitely not better, not since the early 2000s when everything was fully digital and everything is single tracked, rhythm shifted to metronome grid, autotuned--the really big budget producers like max martin will put a litt

SQL has this problem since it wants the SELECT list before the FROM/JOIN stuff. I've seen some SQL-derived things that let you switch it. They should all let you switch it.

The LLMs do have "latent knowledge," indisputably, the latent knowledge is beyond reproach. Because what we do know about the "black box" is that inside it, is a database of not just facts, but understanding, and we know

I claim it's normal to hate public transport. Online, there are some loudmouthed public transport enthusiasts. To them, everyone who isn't doing public transport is a racist, boomer, redneck, luddite, and whatever aspersion you&#x

I think it's because software engineers are the only group that can unanimously operate LLMs effectively and build them into larger systems. They'll automate their own jobs first and move on to building the toolkits to automate th

It's the other way around. The model is impeccable at "understanding text." It's a gigantic mathematical spreadsheet that quantifies meaning. The model probably "understands" better than any human ever could. R

Wrong, wrong. Opposite of everything he said. All his examples are backwards. The article is basically inversing the Single Responsibility Principle. First of all, consistency does not matter at all, ever. THat's his main thesis so it&

The phrase 'mental illness' has expanded as a category a thousand-fold this millennium. I see no evidence he has any mental illness, other than a particular kind that is fully voluntarily and reversible.

Same, had to call around a lot to find primary care, and was being given multi-month waitlist estimates for seeing an ENT specialist. I've had more luck recently as I was able to get into see an ENT in less than 30 days. It's also

Could Biden have actually changed the Afghanistan thing? That was actually Trump's decision--and my favorite one he ever made--but he put the timetable into the next presidency just in case of bad press.
