More to the point, what if the button gives a 10% quarterly boost in productivity for the next 100 quarters. But 80% of the professionals get fired and the other 20% have harder jobs that feel more managerial. Then,…
Bankers did not exist in 10,000 BC
Is there any meat to this or is it just one anecdote after another? I came to comments to find out and got hit by just more anecdotes
When you read the article you’ll see it gives numerous examples. Eg “The Rust version doesn't maintain 100% backwards compatibility, for example it drops the CSRF token so that caching is easier”
Ironically this piece makes the same type of error that it is criticizing! The piece: "Anthropic COULD stop their models from doing what they are doing, and they are actively choosing not to" As if _Anthropic_ could…
My university math teacher considered his job done when he showed me the proof. He literally said "I gave you the proof, what more do you want?". That was the end of my math education. So, now he can join the club. The…
The podcast "The Rest is History" did a series in the past year on Elizabeth I. Highly recommended, and their take is highly compatible with this research take -- Elizabeth seems to have been quite masterful and…
Uh I was literally on math team
Some people are in business to get paid by creating actual real value all the way down the chain to the ultimate customer. Those people are the ones you'd rather work for, and those are the ones who will care about…
True. So you're talking about allocating resources (teams) across priorities. Which have to be prioritized. Which is the reality the article doesn't wrestle with at all.
There's more to making an argument than stating your conclusion forcefully and repeatedly. EDIT. In particular the author hasn't acknowledged the prioritization problem, hasn't explained what factors might go into the…
Customers speak with their wallets, and OP doesn't like what they're saying.
Decisions are about tradeoffs. 2% of users staring at a broken screen is bad, of course. But what is the _cost_ of not using nested CSS? The responsible way to make a decision is to consider both sides of the tradeoff.
Those who pay no attention to history are surprised when things change. It's the temporal equivalent of never leaving your home town. Very provincial. Then one day change comes and they're all shocked pikachu face.
I feel the opposite. Interacting with humans, I definitely pay a social tax - I have to negotiate the feelings of the people involved. With LLMs there is no social tax, I can be as blunt as I like. But there are other…
If you allow a likely guess with no evidence to play the role of fact, you're just as bad as the AIs
it's "trivial" in the sense of "I can launch the app in 2 minutes," but "non-trivial" in the sense of "I have a working, synced password manager across my devices with good security practices."
> Interestingly, there were no consequences for the execs that made this 'mistake' The article makes no such claim. What is your source? Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Or, are you just making things up…
This is good, however that first sentence needs to be removed, it's too factual and orients the reader too much.
This is very jumbled argumentation. Is his claim "nobody has proven LLMs are conscious" or "I can prove that LLMs aren't conscious" ? He goes back and forth. Proving a negative about consciousness would require a…
There are no countries that come close to actually paying for it. There are countries that pay for 5% of it, and in those, indeed they don't have significantly higher fertility rates.
Yes. Societies have been using their women's children as a positive externality for generations, but now the logic of capitalism and societal freedom has caught up, and now societies would rather collapse than support…
I don't understand, why post to HN a link to a Khan academy class that's at least 13 years old?
That's why I write my own assembly language. Compilers just atrophy your skills!
don't hate the player, hate the game
