Start out with Typescript and have it answer data science questions - won't know its way around.
Start out with Python and ask the same question - great answers.
LLMs can't (yet) really transfer knowledge between domains, you have to prime them in the right way.
I’ve also found it’s very good at wrangling simple SQL, then analyzing the results in Bun.
I’m not doing heavy data processing, but so far, it’s remarkably good.
However, asking it to implement "that thing that groups data points into similar groups" needs a bit more context (I just tried it) as K-means is very much specific to machine learning.
initial prompt: Start a new typescript file. It will be used for data science purposes
second prompt: Implement that "that thing that groups data points into similar groups"
The output was a full function implementing K-means (along with a Euclidean distance function).

Doesn't this ruin / ignore the point we're discussing? I don't think anyone thought otherwise?
Every day tech broism gets closer to a UFO sect.
Obviously how exactly they work still isn’t fully explained, but calling basic principles magical is too far in my opinion.
maybe to gp but i thought no one knows how they work.
