Millions were invested in this project where they fired the expensive experts (me included) and replaced with a small army of cheap devs (which was actually more expensive and less productive than just retaining even one of the experts would have been). Couple years later the inevitable happened and the whole thing was thrown into trash. Code without anyone who understands it is just a liability.


If you don't human review anything and no human reads the codebase guess what I could do hundreds of PRs in an hour and appear the most productive while not doing any real work at all. These kind of idiotic companies sound like great places to work for as overemployed .


Intelligence is the complete opposite of an LLM. Usually the more you needed to memorize to do something the less intelligent you were considered.

It was also not considered to be a different route to the same thing, but more like fraud.

Also conceptually I could just write the weights on paper and do the billion multiplications on paper without any computer, does that mean I am the paper or the numbers or what??


> Intelligence is the complete opposite of an LLM. Usually the more you needed to memorize to do something the less intelligent you were considered.

Contrary to popular belief, training a LLM is not just about memorization (overfitting). There is some memorization happening, but well-trained LLMs also generalize.

Like I said, "without simply defining it with an axiom that predefines LLMs as lacking intelligence"


Yeah that's why all models are wrong and everything ultimtately comes down to intution like supreme court's I know it when I see it.

It's just that intuition doesn't scale and a lot of common cases can be handled with models, rules, definitions etc. People continue to be confused that just adding more rules eventually solves reality but it never has anywhere for anything so continuing to believe it will is wild


In frontend it's coupling everything to specific backend urls and it's literally billion times worse. People fire up a frigging headless browser and set up backend servers to test a few microseconds of logic. You don't get to test much at all before everything takes too long and becomes too flaky.

At best solid haters/unaware will "solve" this by mocking everything, which just has a different set of problems and is just as bad. The only way to truly have actual satisfying solution is DI.


If you live paycheck to paycheck and then get a 25% salary increase, if everything else stays the same, in a year you have already saved 300% worth of your original salary vs 0%.

That is even with your unwarranted assumption that all energy use is the same and doesn't cause different adaptations. This kind of simplicity is just not happening in biology.


Exactly, this is called a marginal effect and it's very relevant for our bodies which basically need their homeostasis disrupted to be prompted to adapt.


marginal effects are small, but it's where the integration and feedback add up or even multiply. the claim here is that the mitchondria are paying attention to their own marginal quantities which are quite small; the outsized effects if they are someplace will lie elsewhere. For example, sendentary life will lead to less muscle mass, which means fewer mitochondria overall, but that's not the individual mitochondria "noticing" anything.

Try picking a map from the map picker up on the top left drop down section, then click g-23 and you'll be matched against bots.


Who is creating business critical function on top of something that is for entertainment purposes only (all providers have equivalent clauses)? AI tools and shovel sellers don't count as they just can just push the entertainment downstream.


TVs for consumers are sold at loss and the TV companies are making money with data and ads.

I guess the real price is 5-10x of what you pay. So only 10-20x more expensive for more apples to apples compariaon.


I mean you probably cannot even do 284882 * 282817374 in your head, let alone billions of matrix multiplications so that argument doesn't make sense. If you used a trillion square feet of paper to do the calculations as extra steps to plagiarize something then it should be treated the same as doing it with a computer.
