One thing that irks me about this place is the great-confidence people make claims, when they have zero idea about stuff outside of their domain. I know ten people who work across Accounting and Finance in high-level…
We have moved far-away from the notion of a factory work who's labour can easily be traced to the output. I think in general we have to question what work one does - not in a negative way - I think its healthy to do so.…
Price and quantity go in pairs. As long as a pair exists on the demand curve, Apple can charge that price.
Lol thanks for your comment.
But a microwave does exactly what it says on the tin, every time, without fail. LLMs require a lot more effort.
"cooking with an oven is more of a special occasion thing" this is nuts! I use an oven every day dude - so its a special occasion is it? The default method for cooking is using an oven or using a stove. Microwaving is…
I immediately turn off when I read extreme points of view. It tells me they are people that lack traits such as nuance - essentially time wasters.
"AI has already won. It's taking over. " Man.. I suggest you touch some grass. You are living in a bubble.
"Now anyone can make something nobody gives a shit about." lol nice one
Ultimately humans are the judge of reality, not LLMs. How can you be a good judge? You must have very strong foundations and fundamental understanding.
Great post. So the people who are claiming huge jumps in productivity in the workplace, how are they dealing with this 'review fatigue'?
Link? Genuinely curious to check it out.
At the same time you have astro-turfing from LLM producers though, so...
Id argue the read-write procedures are happening simultaneously as one goes along, writing code by hand.
There's nothing more annoying than the feeling of "oh FFS why you doing that?!". Its amazing how right and wrong LLMs can be in the output produced. Personally the variance for me is too much... I cant stand when it…
TBH it kinda makes sense why personal projects are where productivity jumps are much larger. Working on projects within a firm is... messy.
Meta is doing something healthy - signalling that it is behind with its LLM efforts. Nothing wrong with that.
Exactly. I find it hilarious that the people down-voted my comment. Like yeah sorry... not everyone has to be a risk-taker. Many people like to observe and await to see what new techniques emerge that can be exploited.
Lol you may be on to something there.. 'a code janitor'.
" this team is incredibly cooked in the long term" they're not actually. People like you are making sunk expenditures whilst the models are evolving... they can just wait until the models get to 'steady-state' to figure…
A new way of operating is forced down your throat due to expectations of how the technology will evolve. What actually happens is highly variable - on the spectrum between a huge positive and negative surprise. The…
To me its just a natural evolution of the search engine. And now looking back its an obvious outcome. The search engine of the time was the best way to find websites. But those websites grew in quantity and volume over…
Except a power tool works as it should each and every time. 100% reproducible. That's what's so great about it. Can we stop with the lazy analogies? Everyone's read some variant of this on here by now. Come up with…
Nailed it. The design part is hard because you have to envision the object. Once you have a good idea and conceptialisation of the object, form is easy.
Why do you make such statements with confidence and bluster?
