How are you going to do that math? I'd say it's at least twice or three times as effective as any free option. So at $10 it's an absolute bargain. But hackers will say that $10 is an infinite multiplier of zero, so you should always be "rational" and use the free service.

I'm not at the stage in my life where I don't have to count pennies for my food budget, and neither do most people. You're also comparing supermarket food with a vacuum of a person who is about to starve to death. I mean in real life, assuming you're not suffering from atrophy, what can you buy in the super market that brings the same value? This is of course assuming that you have an interest in better search quality – which not everybody has.

You could also argue that a wooden log is worth more than $10, because you can keep yourself from freezing to death by burning it. Then the value is infinite.
I've worked in robotics for a long time. In robotics nowadays you always end up with a distributed system, where each robot has to have a view of the world, it's mission, etc, and also of each other robot, and also the command and control dashboards do too, etc etc.

Always always always follow parent's advice. Pick one canonical owner for the data, and have everyone query it. Build an estimator at each node that can predict what the robot is doing when you don't have timely data (usually just running a shadow copy of the robot's software), but try to never ever do distributed state.

Even something as simple as a map gets arbitrarily complicated when you're sensing multiple locations. Just push everyone's guesses to a central location and periodically batch update and disseminate updates. You'll be much happier.

With experience at both a financial exchange and a high-frequency trading firm, I have spent the past two years specializing as a low-level C++ developer while also working as a part-time mobile and full-stack web developer. I am highly confident in my ability to develop robust, large-scale solutions that can support hundreds of thousands of users.

I have built and contributed to various complex projects, including external market-making bots for Binance and an Intel 8080 CPU emulator—where I delved deep into the 8080 instruction set and CPU architecture. My expertise spans high-performance systems, networking, and scalable web applications, making me a well-rounded developer capable of tackling challenging technical problems.
There's a dystopian short story in your comment about AI that can't self-bootstrap without ground-truth from humans, so they keep us around just to mark images, music, etc. Lives wasted annotating things. I like to think they'd drag us from solar system to solar system for this purpose.

The differentiator is whether or not your company operates with domain specific data and subject matter experts that those big companies don’t have (which is quite common).

There’s plenty of applications to build that won’t easily get disrupted by big AI. But it’s important to think about what they are, rather than chase after duplication of the shiny objects the big companies are showing off.
In theory people should consider electricity cost when selecting where they live. Maybe there is an issue with getting that information. But I think this is the same with all renting, not just apartments.

A lot of imports are basic components; low-level industrial inputs. So there are lots of products which are genuinely made in America -- with, e.g., Chinese aluminum or Canadian steel -- yet will nevertheless probably go up in price.

It almost becomes an across-the-board thing. Practically every American-made product that contains aluminum is going to go up in price, for instance, as there's not nearly enough US aluminum production to satisfy demand. (And, even if there were, US aluminum tends to be considerably more expensive than foreign aluminum, even with the 25% tariff applied...)

I believe Ramanujan did the same with various maths problems. The Cambridge undergrad course sprinkles a few unsolved problems in the practice questions just in case someone does this again.
I imagine one reason people have a hard time with the monty hall problem is that they have learnt a rule that seems to fit but really doesn't. A person not trained at all in math might do better as they haven't learnt that rule.

There's probably a name for that cognitive bias, but I don't know it.
This is like being asked how to solve a (legal) Rubik cube configuration and then considering how close you can come to a solution if given an illegal configuration. It is not relevant since it is not what was presented. You can always make things more complex by considering variations that are not relevant to the original problem.

>one could potentially train an LLM on musical notation of millions of songs, as long as you can find a way to express each one as a linear sequence of tokens.

That sounds like an interesting application of the technology! So you could for example train an LLM on piano songs, and if someone played a few notes it would autocomplete with the probable next notes, for example?

>The underlying algorithm is itself reductive in a way that can create problems

I wonder if in the future we'll see some refinement of this. The only experience I have with AI is limited to trying Stable Diffusion, but SD does have many options you can try to configure like number of steps, samplers, CFG, etc. I don't know exactly what each of these settings do, and I bet most people who use it don't either, but at least the setting is there.

If hallucinations are intrinsic of LLMs perhaps the way forward isn't trying to get rid of them to create the perfect answer machine/"oracle" but just figure out a way to make use of them. It feels to me that the randomness of AI could help a lot with creative processes, brainstorming, etc., and for that purpose it needs some configurability. For example, Youtube rolled out an AI-based tool for Youtubers that generates titles/thumbnails of videos for them to make. Presumably, it's biased toward successful titles. The thumbnails feel pretty unnecessary, though, since you wouldn't want to use the obvious AI thumbnails.

I hear a lot of people say AI is a new industry with a lot of potential when they mean it will become AGI eventually, but these things make me feel like its potential isn't to become the an oracle but to become something completely different instead that nobody is thinking about because they're so focused on creating the oracle.

Thanks for the reply, by the way. Very informative. :)
Fair enough, yes if you hand-crank it in bottle (and no reason why not).
> The problem as stated has the host open an incorrect door and offer the player a chance to change his choice.

Correct, in this one particular instance. You cannot conclude from this particular instance that the host always opens the door and offers a change.

> Inferring that another possible variation might exist

is totally reasonable, while denying the possibility that the host might be able to choose his actions specifically to benefit or screw you
over is an unwarranted leap.

The problem statement does not put constraints on the host. You cannot solve the problem by assuming that those constraints exist and then attack those like Diaconis who point out that those constraints don’t exist and that the thing that is unconstrained matters.
Anecdotal, but this is the exact consensus I saw among my non-tech peers. They find it fun for a few days or weeks, then basically never touch it again once the novelty wears off. The only normies I know still using LLMs are students using them to write papers.

Actually I have interacted with multiple translators in multiple industries and I haven't seen any disruption (although I agree with your statement that it was never well paid)

- Synchronous translation at political/economic events still needs a personm as it ever did
- LLMs are nowhere near the level to be able to translate fine literature at a high enough quality to be publishable
- Translating software is still very hard, as the translator usually needs a ton of context/reference for commonly used terminology - we partnered with a machine translation company, and what they produced sucked balls.

I have friends who work as translators, and we make use of translation services as a company, and I haven't seen the work going away.

Expect nothing but the best with….JBEE SPY TEAM , just yesterday I was here looking for who to help me get into my spouse phone fully, then I saw 2-3 reviews talking about how JBEE SPY TEAM helped them. So immediately I contact JBEE SPY TEAM on their instagram page and told them what I needed, then WOW! the outcome was great all access was given to my greatest experience ever, They got me into my cheating husband phone. I’m so happy I went to them. and the fact that it was all done remotely is the big deal. JBEE SPY TEAM is the main man or email : conleyjbeespy606@gmail.com
asking others to flag an article is not about sharing an opinion, but an attempt for a flag to actually have consequences.

this was removed from the front page, spot 3 when i saw it, yesterday due to these flags.

so to defend the claim someone didn't do exactly what they did - and worked - is a bit awkward to me
Now we have faster data structures we can fill that extra time by writing less efficient code, and loading more pointless libraries. This is the march of computer science.

Original thought or additional intuitive improvements such as this discovery is what we should be looking for.

This can come from anywhere in the world. The best part is, it did NOT discovered from an AI program.
> Two names, two ids, two countries????

Yup. Quite common with kids with one parent from a country using, say, the roman characters and another from an asian country (like say a France / Japanese mixed kid). If the (french) father goes to the french embassy or to France to declare the kid under one name and then the (japanese) mom goes to declare the kid with a japanese name, the kid literally has two identities. Not just two passports (which is highly common) but two identities.

In less common case it can happen with just the given name being different in two countries: I know a dude who as a Portuguese given name on his Portuguese passport and the french version of that name on his french passport. They're considered by the authorities to be two different persons and he already got into trouble (administrative stuff) so now he's careful.

Also note that it's a documented fact that for fraud there have been people caught declaring a kid that wasn't their: kid born at the hospital, quickly "rent" the kid to friends from the community, declare the kid as if he was born at home (by having a doctor come). Profit from welfare (in the EU) money due to the fact that you now "have" one more kid. One such case was uncovered when the doctor who gave birth to the kid was then sent later in the day to witness a "born at home" kid.

I'm sure there are other cases: the world is big.

I was very interested in the improvement. That is the crux of the subject if you ask me.
DEC influence was definitely all over the north east! The first multi-user system I dialed into was a VAX/VMS box. I went to a college that had almost all DEC systems - mostly DECstations (MIPS) and Alphas. I later worked at software company full of tons of ex-Digital folk, running most of their software on Alphas running VMS and Tru64 (aka Digital Unix.)

Appreciate your response! It makes sense to me that testing LLMs with OCEAN would "work" because OCEAN is rooted in linguistic dimension reduction, but the inference that this reflects an underlying personality (however we want to define that) rather than just being an emergent property of any coherent language model seems like a bridge too far. Whether the phenomenon has real psychological significance is the interesting question that I wish got more attention in general.
But sometimes when humans make things up they also don't have the knowledge they may be wrong. It's like the reference to "known unknowns" and "unknown unknowns". Or Dunning-Kruger personified. Basically you have three categories:

(1) Liars know something is false and have an intent to deceive (LLMs don't do this)
(2) Bullshitters may not know/care whether something is false, but they are aware they don't know
(3) Bullshitters may not know something is false, because they don't know all the things they don't know

Do LLMs fit better in (2) or (3)? Or both?
On reflection, I think I'm mixing some concepts up. Regardless of the sex exogamy pattern (or related patrilocal/matrilocal pattern, where I think female exogamy correlates with patrilocal residency--living with or near the husband's family) I would think women would be doing the "emotional labor" regardless, and for the stereotypical biological predisposition reasons. As for why modern culture might be skewing matrilocal, once reason might simply be because it lessens the burden of emotional labor. In patrilocal systems the woman is dropped into an alien network of relationships, yet bears the burden of managing those relationships and adhering to any divergent customs and norms. As with the Chinese female exogamy example (patrilocal is maybe a more apt term, but I was introduced to it in terms of female exogamy) where the woman was forbidden from contact with her birth clan, patrilocal cultures might tend to impose even stricter norms and taboos to keep the woman engaged in managing her husband's family's relationships, as opposed to finding comfort in her childhood relationships. As sex and gender norms are loosening in many respects (but not all, and not as much we like to think), it might be that the pressures for marriages to fallback to matrilocal patterns are overcoming the pressures for patrilocality. But we're like hundreds, if not a thousand plus years, into major upheavals in these dynamics wrt Western European marriage dynamics in particular, so....

In the literature the motivations behind these systems is more often discussed in terms of avoiding incest, managing intergenerational wealth, exchanging labor (can cut both ways in terms of exploiting men or women) and other biological and cultural needs. The interplay between these seem pretty complex, but especially as we get further away from traditional hunter-gather, pastoral, and agricultural communities these dynamics may be weakening relative to other, more individualized factors, like convenience.
I'm helping a neighbor to run a small e-commerce website with reviews. Review forms are being spammed by bots that get even through CAPTCHAs, and the owner needs to clean them up constantly. Without CAPTCHAs, it becomes unsustainable.

They don't get a lot of bots trying stolen credit cards, but mostly because they are pretty niche.

The problem statement does put constraints on the host, by specifying that the host opened an unselected door with a goat behind it, only to ask if the player wants to change his choice. The answer to the question of whether the player should change the choice is well defined. Other variations are irrelevant since they are different problems.

Your argument is equivalent to denying that 2 + 2 = 4 is correct because the author had the option to write something other than a 2 as an operand.
