- hellojimboThe no tools part is impressive, with tools every model gets 100%
- Theyre higher value than actual seniors because they have more domain knowledge, more neuroplastic, probably willing to work harder, etc
- Yes
- The real problem with hiring juniors is that tech does not have flexible pay. Realistically, hiring juniors is high risk high reward so they should naturally be on some kind of probational pay.
- Hungarian jews are also extremely smart anecdotally.
- Is this like the prince or art of war where we are supposed to draw some lesson from very specific critiques and extrapolate it to every scenario.
- The only real point is number 5.
> Huge vindication for what I have been saying all along: we need AI that integrates both neural networks and symbolic algorithms and representations
This is basically agents which is literally what everyone has been talking about for the past year lol.
> (Importantly, the point of the Apple paper goal was to see how LRM’s unaided explore a space of solutions via reasoning and backtracking, not see how well it could use preexisting code retrieved from the web.
This is a false dichotomy. The thing that apple tested was dumb and dl'ing code from the internet is also dumb. What would've been interesting is, given the problem, would a reasoning agent know how to solve the problem with access to a coding env.
> Do LLM’s conceptually understand Hanoi?
Yes and the paper didn't test for this. The paper basically tested the equivalent of, can a human do hanoi in their head.
I feel like what the author is advocating for is basically a neural net that can send instructions to an ALU/CPU, but I haven't seen anything promising that shows that its better than just giving an agent access to a terminal
- Conventional "dev" wisdom says that LOC and PR count don't matter but I think its very easy to combine this data point with the nature of a dev's work to come up with a great heuristic on productivity.
- All of these peer to peer apps have the same fate; it works in the high trust parts of the country, but the moment you scale, the quality of service decreases, fees increase, etc.
- The good thing about trading the livelihood of future generations for the livelihood of the current generation through reckless spending is that the future generation doesn't get a vote.
