I don't know how one would build anything without knowing. If it was true, I would be building a competitor to Anthropic right now.

Careful with using these small models. The other day, I asked it "Can dogs eat avocado" and answer was emphatic Yes.

This is not meant as a criticism, but people should be aware of their limitations.

Why is the system "card" 140 pages long! Was it generated by LLM too?

Reference?

Was it written by one person?

I thought about this first when chatgpt 3.5 came on the scene. Yes, you _can_ at some time in the future, replace programs with AI which would be slow to an extent - if AI can write and manage the code, it _could_ be even faster.

But there is a kicker here. It is upto LLM to discover the right abstractions for “thinking” while serving the requests directly or in the code .

Coming up with the right abstraction is not a small thing. Just see what git is over cvs - without git no one would have even imagined micro services. The right abstraction cuts through the problem, not just now, but in the future too. And that can only happen if the LLM/AI managing the app is really smart and deal with real world for a long time and make the right connection - these insights don’t even come to really smart people that easily!

Yep, Apple was a significant early investor in ARM. https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/09/05/apple-arm-have-be...

Highly recommend watching Dwarakesh interviewing Reich: https://youtu.be/Uj6skZIxPuI

You will learn more about human prehistory in that 2 hours than anything else.

What do you call GPT 3.5?

Which one did you use and when was this? I mean, no body gets anything working right the first time. You got to spend a few days atleast trying to understand the tool

I doubt there is much art to getting LLM work for you, despite all the hoopla. Any competent engineer can figure that much out.

The real dichotomy is this. If you are aware of the tools/APIs and the Domain, you are better off writing the code on your own, except may be shallow changes like refactorings. OTOH, if you are not familiar with the domain/tools, using a LLM gives you a huge legup by preventing you from getting stuck and providing intial momentum.

Yep. It is a [Keystone species](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystone_species)

Does it mean repeated scans of the same objects show different bumps?

Did they purposely ignore dinosaurs? Feathered dinosaurs are known to be colorful

Hard to believe their claim fish are the first to evolve color for mating displays 100 million years ago.

Well said. Though 20 year old me would have judged you on this comment for being "greedy" ;) Such is the cycle of life - you think you are beyond earthly affairs only to discover earthly affairs matter until you are above the earth

True - but you learn better when young and make use of it longer than if you learnt it later

Article from 2021

Idk. Outsource thinking to bots - we become its senses - even if only it is only about interacting with other people. There are things about humanity and ourselves we don't know much about, and I doubt machines do either, because all its "knowledge" comes curated from humans. I guess we become only the knowledge creators for a while, or guide knowledge creation with machines, have machines put guard rails around the knowledge creation, so we don't chase dead-ends as often, take care of ourselves better, health and relationships wise. We can now dream bigger, address intractable problems like recycling trash 100%, because we have little agents with intelligence that do our thinking for us. May be one day, we can edit DNA to have our own little bees with programmed intelligence flying around, pollinating flowers in the winter, making the earth truly human serving (and any animals we like - don't hate me, that's humanity as it acts). May be then we reach for the stars and go on doing more stuff. Its the beginning of infinity, dammit ;)

lol

Hahaha

Yeah, I don't think people understand what transgender person is. They understand being born like that, but not why someone chooses to change their gender. It simply is not in anyone's experience nor there is any analogous thing to bridge understanding. It is NOT like being GAY, because I know and read about gay animals, and say ok, this is not specific to humans. There isn't anything like that for TGs, because animals obviously don't dress. They just are.

I also understood one thing. Most people were paying lip service to TGs. This includes people like Mark and PG. And we like, good employees, are just following what HR says without rocking the boat. I now doubt head of HR knows or understands what this is about.

Also, there are not many people who are TG. Should society adjust itself for everyone on the margin is a question one should ask themselves? Does it adjust for everyone who has kidney disease, or other ailments? I know western countries do a good job of addressing handicapped people in several ways, but the last 1% is very hard and expensive to reach. And I feel we are paying the price. Is TG issue big enough to put Climate Change activism at risk, which it is now? I am not against TG, I am against not prioritizing what's more important.

Enantiornithes is a huge family. Kinda suprising why they didn’t survive the meteor but birds did

Excellent point. But it works for bacteria I guess, because viral dna is small.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be patronizing. I simply said that because, roe v wade didn't bother the women (who are more affected by it) who voted for him.

Beautiful site. Love it

It was suprising to me when I heard it. How could we not know it would happen before hand? Doubt explanation of it needs new laws of physics, item is common place and yet we were all caught off-guard. Wonder who different other planets even in our own solar system are, even if we know all the laws of physics and chemistry that guide those reactions; never mind planets in other solar systems

He really loved his country, even if the government basically destroyed his career.

I think the harsh conditions in Australia, where there a thousand ways to die, put the onus on truth and preservation of it in the oral tradition. Unlike most other cultures where it's kind of ok to gradually deviate from the truth. It is worth paying attention to the aborigine stories.They have also made astronomical observations that are pretty accurate to the date. https://cosmosmagazine.com/space/australias-indigenous-peopl...

Singing/Ballads are also popular way of preserving information fidelity. Homer's works were based on ballads. We don't put premium on memory now, but before the invention of printing press, memory techniques were widely studied and used.

But are they different because of the infection, or they are different and hence the infection. That is the question
