The way around this I've seen so far is to have an LLM write software that is verified, both in answers and instruction. The problem is who does the verification; ideally that doesn't require a teacher...

As the author noted, I see libraries becoming more and more centers of community, notably in the Bay Area (California, USA). Just check out the events at all of the Santa Clara County library system (8 libraries that share books): https://sccl.bibliocommons.com/v2/events?_gl=1*11u0hec*_ga*M...

Many events aren't even book related-- see events for Lego building, homework help, even Dungeons and Dragons events.

I wonder if there's a resurgence across the world where libraries are places of community sharing.

why though? I doubt subscribers are moving the need for ARR, even for OpenAI

I see. Though if you follow the argument set forth by Dario, it seems you'll not only have your concern to worry about (i.e., personal risks of your data used against you), but many more as well on top of that.

As far as AI is concerned, it looks like you will need to pick 1?

I do think this question comes up a lot-- I can understand why.

For some well-explained reasons, check out https://darioamodei.com/essay/the-adolescence-of-technology and search for "CCP".

90%+ cache hit rate is common, and so you'll see on places like openrouter that Deepseek cache cost is indeed a magnitude cheaper than the rest.

Agreed on hoping books will be rewritten. It seems to be happening, but slowly. E.g., Harvard Machine Learning Systems: https://mlsysbook.ai/vol1/

Thanks, missed this and will try to remove

Thank you! Not sure why it's so hard to find (still don't see where you got this from), esp if it's using exe.dev's platform.

I'd like to try out the settlers-style game, but can't find them? Nothing here, either: https://github.com/raffael-hickisch

I'm also curious, as this could pay for a trip out there, especially if buying for friends.

Anybody have experience with https://github.com/chopratejas/headroom? They seem to have similar goals in token reduction, but headroom appears to be broader in scope.

That's fair. There are even many dimensions to define 'quality' which include use case (coding? writing? multimedia?) and prompt. I suppose if you ask testers to provide benchmarks with their analysis, that might hamper their desire to share.

always have a backup plan (:

Wonderful idea to document, share and even have positive outcomes.

The author would probably love this YT channel which is all about helping others come to the same realization as he did: https://www.youtube.com/@socialanimal

TinyProgrammer is a Raspberry Pi on my desk that autonomously writes little Python programs forever. It types code at human speed, makes mistakes, fixes them, and has moods.

Unless you prevent them from being successful in the first place.

As a side note, I wonder if there's also a bias that human minds are more easily controlled than forces of nature. That may also come into play here.

Both good and bad responses to successful terrorist attacks threaten government credibility, simply because they were successful. The key is for a government to prevent them from being successful in the first place.

Only bad disaster responses make administrations look pretty bad.

>There's a reason people end up in these ruts to begin with.

Perhaps there is the lack of self-awareness that dopamine comes into play. This is where the (effective) simplicity of this article comes into the picture.

That's an interesting idea with WeWork.

I'd think that despite variations in environments in a home, there are either 1) enough accommodating tools to normalize (e.g., lights that have a variety of settings) or 2) the majority of the processes required to handle the variations are figured out (e.g., in consistently poor lighting, you need package B instead of package A).

I see some hardware packages for home studios going on sale, but nothing to the level of hardware/software integration necessary for the most effective online instruction/discussion.

This begs to normalized and sold as a package for both providers and consumers.

>but that is part of life

Makes one wonder whether technology can help here. Seems that, so far, there is no substitute for direct experience.

The context of the comments matter. Just saying...

survival != (winning a competition || getting titles || getting awards)

But time != energy + motivation. Also time != money. I realize it won't be as eye-catching, but showing time wasted rather than money is more direct and truthful. Then I suppose the problem is that apps like that already exist...
