- Sad that obvious AI slop like this gets to the front page
- It’s kinda funny that the “not …, but…” + em dash slop signifiers translate directly to Chinese “不是。。。而是。。。” and double-width em dash
- It’s not like people are piling into AI at the expense of other jobs, tech hiring and wages on general seem down relative to a couple of years ago. Hard to see the link between either effect and AI
Also weird that Dutch disease wasn’t mentioned at all, it actually seems more relevant.
- But what about an ML person roped into writing an AI assisted blogpost about security
- Driving a massive truck in the city is stupid too and most short flights should be replaced with high speed rail. And AI wastes a monumental amount of resources.
- They all have optional ide integration, e.g Claude knows the active vscode tab and highlighted lines.
- TDD is testing in production in disguise. After all, bugs are unexpected and you can’t write tests for a bug you don’t expect. Then the bug crops up in production and you update the test suite.
- LLMs are notoriously bad at reflecting on how they work and I feel like humans are probably in the same boat
- Wow, dragonfly terminated relatively quickly for Claude but sent ChatGPT into an infinite loop that was even worse than seahorse
- Yes it turns out the article’s conclusion is in fact contained in the conclusion paragraph
- Probably the only overlap between AI slop and actual journalistic writing is the obsession with em-dashes
- Amusing that people like you get downvoted into oblivion and still think their opinions are unequivocal.
- My impression of LLM “reasoning” is that works more like guardrails. Perhaps the space of possible responses to the initial prompt is huge and doesn’t exactly match any learned information. All the text generated during reasoning is high strength. So placing it in the context should hopefully guide answer generation towards something reasonable.
It’s the same idea as manually listing a bunch of possibly-useful facts in the prompt, but the LLM is able to generate plausible sounding text itself.
I feel like this relates to why LLM answers tend to be verbose too, it needs to put the words out there in order to stay coherent.
- The minDelay extension feels contrived and also the solution sucks. None of the pending requests are actually added to the queue until the timeout is finished, meaning you have no knowledge of all these delayed requests until the timeout passes and they all enqueue themselves
- I don't get it, how is analysis of fictional characters relevant? Nobody is committing a logical error, fictional humans can have fictional motivations and we can talk about them. I think it's still very clear that AI "motivations" and "reasoning" are not real in any human-centric definition of the terms (see recent Apple paper), hence anthropomorphizing is an error
- Envoy has a latency-based adaptive concurrency feature: https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/configuration/ht...
Netflix has a blog post for their implementation: https://netflixtechblog.medium.com/performance-under-load-3e...
- I think this is one of those things that's way easier if you start early. Not sure if schools still have typing classes now. I vaguely remember mine in the 90s, but I didn't really get fast until I started playing MUDs and typing was a matter of life and death!
Now that I think of it, they were also really helpful for learning how to scan a wall of console text and look for the useful bits, and also realizing the value of configuring shortcuts and syntax highlighting. I see someone already had the idea of using a text adventure to learn Bash: https://gitlab.com/slackermedia/bashcrawl
- "Saving" in the accounting identity is just money not spent on consumption. Cheaper imports can increase domestic saving because people now spend less for the same goods. That could then increase domestic investment due to the increased savings.
Or the same situation could reduce savings, if people increasing consumption because the imports are so cheap.
The accounting identity doesn't explain anything other than the mathematical truth that the money needs to add up in the end. Savings are not inherently good, deficits are not inherently bad
Apparently one of the other linked posts shows how you can also gain RCE, since the docs are statically pre-rendered and there’s no sandboxing to prevent you from evalling arbitrary JavaScript.
