To say any specific LLM can reason is a somewhat significant claim.

To say LLMs as a class is architecturally able to be trained to reason is - in the complete absence of evidence to suggest humans can compute functions outside the Turing computable - is effectively only an argument that they can implement a minimal Turing machine given the context is used as IO. Given the size of the rules needed to implement the smallest known Turing machines, it'd take a really tiny model for them to be unable to.

Now, you can then argue that it doesn't "count" if it needs to be fed a huge program step by step via IO, but if it can do something that way, I'd need some really convincing evidence for why the static elements those steps could not progressively be embedded into a model.

> People can communicate each step, and review each step as that communication is happening.

Can, but don't by default. Just as LLMs can be asked for chain of thought, but the default for most users is just chat.

This behaviour of humans is why we software developers have daily standup meetings, version control, and code review.

> LLMs must be prompted for everything and don’t act on their own

And this is why we humans have task boards like JIRA, and quarterly goals set by management.
I do contract work in the LLM space which involves me seeing a lot of human prompts, and its made the magic of human reasoning fall away: Humans are shocking bad at reasoning on the large.

One of the things I find extremely frustrating is that almost no research on LLM reasoning ability benchmarks them against average humans.

Large proportions of humans struggle to comprehend even a moderately complex sentence with any level of precision.

It might be useful to check how linear regression, the first form of "AI" has eaten the world. Lets call its modern incarnation LLR (Large Linear Regression) for kicks.

In LLR you fit a massive chunk of data, you do an interpolation and you use the result with care, or, you fit the data, you do an extrapolation and you live dangerously. So its all good fun, but how to you eat the universe with it?

You might try to become the Matlab or SAS or Excel that brings Large Linear Regression to the world. Godspeed, a giant Python has already swallowed C++ and they will be coming be after you.

You may try to eat all the world's data so that nobody but you can do Large Linear Regressions. Good luck with that pharaonic quest as well.

Or you might try to print silicon that does LLR quickly, hoping that nobody else can master that dark art. But silicon is as plentiful as sand and keeping dark secrets dark is not easy when you want to eat the world.

Thats about it. No melodrama, no medieval moats, no megazillion dollars. LLR will be everywhere and yet nobody will care.

The bandwagon will move to the next big tech thing. Quantum Coin maybe?

Assuming the deteriorating reality of our actual condition does not catch up with this clown circus. Because the end condition of the world being serially eaten by the tech bros is... the world being dead.

None, I would instead recommend monitoring file paths and alerting when they change. Known as a tripwire system.

In this case for example the attackers tried to hide their files by disguising them as other known file paths on the system.

If you use a tripwire setup you will get an alert when a file appears that is not supposed to be there. Of course this requires a more hands-on approach where you create excludes for all your applications.
The number of tailwind classes is so large now that copy/pasting the whole set into your project would mean a huge bundle size.

I've had some success getting models to recognize simple electronic circuits drawn using ASCII art, including stuff like identifying a buck converter circuit in various guises.

However, as you point out, the way we feed these models especially make them vertically challenged, so to speak. This makes them unable to reliably identify vertically separated components in a circuit for example.

With combined vision+text models becoming more common place, perhaps running the rendered text input through the vision model might help.

When we've spent time with it and gotten novel code, then if you claim that doesn't happen, it is natural to say "you're holding it wrong".

Yes, this fits my experience as well.

Oftentimes I've heard people who are not and have never been software engineers ask "When we want to built a bridge, engineers can tell how long it will take and how expensive it will be, how come with software engineers it's never the case?" (often implied: you software engineers have it easy, slackers! -- I believe we put this blame on ourselves with our immature culture, but that's another discussion)

What I usually answer to that is that, to begin with, that if they had actually dealed with big construction projects like bridges then they would not idealize those so much. And secondly, that this is not the right analogy. Bridge construction is a much stabler science, it had no "complexity explosion". A better analogy would be geophysical prospection : the theory it's based on is sound and mature but the unknowns dominate everything in predicting the outcome.

"Even human super-GMs have a really hard time "scoring" or "solving" extremely weird positions. "

I can sort of confirm that. I never learned all the formal theoretical standard chess strategies except for the basic ones. So when playing against really good players, way above my level, I could win sometimes (or allmost) simply by making unconventional (dumb by normal strategy) moves in the beginning - resulting in a non standard game where I could apply pressure in a way the opponent was not prepared for (also they underestimated me after the initial dumb moves). For me, the unconventional game was just like a standard game, I had no routine - but for the experienced one, it was way more challenging. But then of course in the standard situations, to which allmost every chess game evolves to - they destroyed me, simply for experience and routine.
>Rent? The town does rent control. There is nothing to rent. You can't outprice the locals with their queue time.

IMHO, this is one of the biggest issues holding back EU labor mobility in places with strongly regulated rent controls. You're an EU citizen and wanna move somewhere else for a job but you get fucked on the housing market because the locals have privileges you don't have, so either employers need to take a hit and compresate foreign workers more for the trouble, or they don't and so you either get fucked if you choose to move to work there, or you don't bother moving at all because it's a shit deal so the employers are starved of labor and go bust. And that's besides the legal, linguistic and cultural hurdles you have when moving to a new country where you don't know the system and don't speak the language.

The EU fixed a similar issue like this when universities gave special privileges and conditions to local students but not to students coming from other EU countries who were being charged money for things the locals got for free, so the EU forced them to have to give the same benefits and treatments the local students were getting to all EU students coming to study there, ending this discrimination.

IMHO, the same needs to be done on the housing side if we wish to have actual labor mobility that improves the block's economic potential, and not just one that's on paper and holds back economic development by wanting to screw foreign workers of more money to prop up the local housing bubble.

If a skilled EU citizen moving to another EU country for work, the new host country is already getting a huge break for getting a new taxpayer paying into the welfare system out of the box for free, without having invested 20+ into their education like it did for the locals, so then why double dip and also screw them over with unfavorable housing rules that only serve to enrich landlords?

What do you mean by "understand chess"?

I think you don't appreciate how good the level of chess displayed here is. It would take an average adult years of dedicated practice to get to 1800.

The article doesn't say how often the LLM fails to generate legal moves in ten tries, but it can't be often or the level of play would be much much much worse.

As seems often the case, the LLM seems to have a brilliant intuition, but no precise rigid "world model".

Of course words like intuition are anthropomorphic. At best a model for what LLMs are doing. But saying "they don't understand" when they can do _this well_ is absurd.

> It seems simplicity is just something everyone wants to abandon.

I think this very much depends on your perspective. "Simplicity" isn't a single dimension, you'll always face trade-offs at some point.

While the language did get slightly more complicated with the introduction of property hooks, they also simplify a lot of real-world code. Instead of handling all getter/setter logic inside two big functions, there's now a direct relation between each property and its getter/setter logic. There's a lot of value in that!

Of course you can say that's not good practice and therefore shouldn't be made simpler, but then you're still offloading complexity onto the individual program and developer. They are using these features in production code, and keeping the language simpler means that every class using getters/setters has its own custom logic. That's not simple at all!

To give a real-world example, Typescript supports many things that probably wouldn't be necessary if the language were designed from the ground up. But it's meant to add type safety to Javascript, so it has to support adding types to patterns that aren't best practice. But this also simplifies adding types to the existing ecosystem by a large margin, which is arguably the reason it has become the de-facto best practice for writing frontend apps.
Looks like you are not really familiar with how Tailwind works. And if you don't understand it of course Vite or a build step will look weird. But I suggest first getting familiar with the thing you are discussing to avoid adding misguided comments to the discussion that really don't add any value.

Depends on the training data I think. If the data divides in games by top chess engines - and human players, then yes, it might make a difference to tell it, to play like a grandmaster of chess vs. to play like the top chess engine.

Usually the release is fine, but dependencies can be lacking in proper support/testing of the newer versions, so it takes a couple of months.

Also external tooling, like for example NewRelic extension, takes some time to release a version that supports the new release.
Casual players make illegal moves all the time. The problem isn't knowing how the pieces move. It's that it's illegal to leave your own king in check. It's not so common to accidentally move your king into check, though I'm sure it happens, but it's very common to accidentally move a piece that was blocking an attack on your king.

I would tend to agree that there's a big difference between attempting to make a move that's illegal because of the state of a different region of the board, and attempting to make one that's illegal because of the identity of the piece being moved, but if your only category of interest is "illegal moves", you can't see that difference.

Software that knows the rules of the game shouldn't be making either mistake.
