Almost no part of that is due to people using machines they do not understand.

Because it’s cheaper to pay for the tokens than to pay their engineers to worry about a worse, homebrewed setup.

Are you American? I used my American drivers license for verifying a personal account and it was approved with no problem. I wonder how they decide.

To say that students don’t benefit from getting good grades using LLMs is incredibly naive. Learning is only about the third or fourth most important “benefit” for students, after getting a degree, getting good grades, and making connections.

The only pseudo-intellectualism I see is from you. You’re missing the whole point.

It’s just a matter of perspective. Procedures and memory are the same, and they’re also different, depending on how you want to look at it.

Prayer does work, through the mechanism of putting your thoughts in perspective and context and sharing them outside yourself. Whether or not people understand the reason “why” it works doesn’t matter.

I’ve noticed this too. Any idea why modern language books get this so wrong?

It’s always funny to me to see people in tech, who have largely been employed to put other people out of work for the last 50 years, change their stance on tech as soon as it starts to affect them.

Code has always been a bottleneck for any product which involves software.

What bizarre advice. It completely misses the point.

You’re right. Maybe a statement with something like “Never bet against America!”

You’re still living in the past. It will be an LLM working on it in the future.

Give me a break.

Right now, you’d use skyscanner directly for finding flights. Maybe Expedia for hotels. What if instead of needing to know about what app to use for every different type of thing you wanted to book, and dealing with their own separate UIs and dark patterns to upsell you, you just ask ChatGPT to curate a list for you, and then tell it to book once you’ve chosen?

In 20 years, we may not be writing UIs for apps anymore. We may just be writing tools for AI agents to consume.

Anyone who’s trying to make money through stuff like this (versus just experimenting) is using one of the many paid captcha-solving APIs, which cost a cent or two per solved captcha.

We have all hurt our fellow man, just as we all hurt ourselves. We even have a word for it: sin!

It it was the case, Iran underestimates how vindictive Americans are.

What is good code now is only good code because of the bad programming languages we’ve had to accept for the last hundred years because we’re tied to incremental improvements. We’re tied to static brittle types. But look at natural systems - they all use dynamic “languages.” When you get a cut, your flesh doesn’t throw an exception because it’s connected to the wrong “thing.” Maybe AI will redefine what good code means, because it’s better able to handle ambiguity.

It’s a useless skill to keep sharp. It will never again be important. It’s like the electrical engineering professors who insisted we needed to understand how the circuitry worked in order to be good programmers. We didn’t.

They have unlimited, free money.

It’s not a helpful comparison because it’s too early. If the first iPhone went away, no one would care. Once software is rearchitected around AI, it will look a lot different. Your phone won’t need UIs that are as complex, because we can just tell AI what to change or open or do.

The submitter could decide and curate what is useful to be shared, whether that’s exact message logs, or the subagents and skills they think made the difference.

AI reduces the thinking time, too. And most of my time is spent either thinking or coding.

It’s not cargo culting, it does make a difference and there are papers on arxiv discussing it. The trouble is that it’s hard to tell whether it’ll help or hurt - telling it to act as an expert in one field may improve your result, or may make it lose some of the other perspectives it has which might be more important for solving the problem.

Because to a 20 year old who is worried about getting a job, the value of getting all A’s and learning less is higher than getting all B’s and learning more.

When asked by The Hill if Gallup had received any feedback from the White House or anyone in the current administration before making the decision, the spokesperson said, “this is a strategic shift solely based on Gallup’s research goals and priorities.”

Why bury the lede? Why not just say “it’s got nothing to do with Trump, we’re doing this because X isn’t a priority for Gallup anymore.”

16 year olds get better at driving.

Are you just mapping a text file of status codes to a single template? None of them are any different? Why make all of them instead of just showing the 404 page?

Even the OP was ChatGPT - he couldn’t even be bothered to remove the quote at the end.
