Personally, I dont think so. I can understand a mathmatical axiom and reason with it. In a sequence of numbers I will be able to tell you N + 1, regardless of where N appears in the sequence. An LLM does not "know" this in the way a human does. It just applies whatever is the most likely thing that the training data suggests.

I find the use of the word intelligence to be a bit of a misnomer. Is something intelligent if all its doing is pattern matching? Is the evolution that led to owl butterflies appearing like an owl intelligent? Im not sure.

As an aside, its amusing we simulatenously have this article on the front page as well as [Generative AI coding tools and agents do not work for me](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44294633) also on the front page. LLMs are really dividing the community at the moment and its exhausting to keep up with what I (as a dev) should be doing to stay sharp

Interesting - your story of ME/CFS mirrors mine. Mine was triggered by a really mild cold a couple of years back, likely COVID. Thankfully a lot more research is going on into this, and im mostly back to full health now but the brain fog made me doubt myself at work a lot more than usual.

Not sure I fully agree - sometimes maybe, but I think in the majority of cases it's used when people feel they dont need to explain exactly what they mean because it should already be obvious to most people.

Example. "Always look when you cross the road" is a snippet common sense, with lack of heeding to that sense resulting in you potentially being hit by a car. Even a 4 year old wouldnt need the latter explanation, but most people could articulate that if they needed to. Its just a way of speeding up communication

Is there? I feel like google has optimised heavily for the caveman input rather than the enlightened search warrior nowadays

Maybe a slight bug: the overlay doesnt appear to be locked to the map - when I scroll around, the overlay moves. Currently the northern lines' southern terminal is hovering over Kingston rather than Morden!

thank you for your considered response

Does this extend to restraunts that now sneakily adding service charge onto a bill by default in order to prey on customers feelings of awkwardness? I always find that one stings and really irks me

Is creativity not just the application of a pattern in an adjacent space?

They even have almost identical logos...

How do you mean? How does youtubing a lecture differ from sitting in the lecture hall itself for example? I'd argue both arent great learning experiences, but lectures seem to be viable enough to make up the bulk of contact time at university

Seems farfetched to believe that you happened to have the exact moment you discuss on video

Thats not really a fair comparison. Youve compared an entire industry to one entity within an industry. Id be interested to see what the numbers would be if you shutdown all commercial UK airports for a day. Still smaller I'd imagine, but at least comparable

£10/month pay as you go SIM for 30gb here in the UK and im sure there are better offers

> The greater good

Arguably the lesser bad in this case!

> Brexit was the most stupid thing a country ever did to itself

From an economic standpoint, brexit was indeed a big L, but I dont think brexiteers were largely voting on economic grounds - a point which is lost on most remainers.

and all of them are horrendously bad for the environment, the end.

"An erotic dream bringing the sleeper to orgasm" - this was what I was confused about.

did you mean to say "wet"-dreaming in this context? Seems an odd addition to simply "dreaming"

Interesting - does this also manage my app window placement like a tiling window manager? I personally hate having to organise windows rather than just have them fill half my screen without thinking

Id be very interested to break that data down by age. I'd hypothesise people who grew up during the dawn of social media (late 00s, early 2010s), will be strongly aligned with whatsapp whereas younger generations might be more iMessage/snapchat whatever else is out there these days. The most interesting generation would be gen X'ers. I guess theyll be a jumble of all solutions, including SMS

Tonsils are a good example of this. New studies are finding that they may be part of the immune system. Anecdotally, I had mine removed as a child due to frequent tonsilitis. As an adult, I suffer from a number of airborne allergies. Most likely a coincidence, but it does make me wonder!

Indeed - see "Goodnight Mister Tom" for an example of a poor child that was evacuated

yazi for me!

great until I add something to my digital calendar when im out and I forget to update it, or my wife adds something to her calendar and doesnt use the shared calendar :/

Exactly... theyd be associating it with quartermaster rather than slavemaster...

If you have to charge overnight, you miss out on all the benefits of sleep tracking which personally, has been essential in managing recovery and also illness

Id wager we could do the same with the word "quarter". Whats your point exactly?

It actually has the same origin as the parent poster of your comment:

Late Old English mægester "a man having control or authority over a place; a teacher or tutor of children," from Latin magister (n.) "chief, head, director, teacher" (source of Old French maistre, French maître, Spanish and Italian maestro, Portuguese mestre, Dutch meester, German Meister), contrastive adjective ("he who is greater") from magis (adv.) "more," from PIE mag-yos-, comparative of root meg- "great." The form was influenced in Middle English by Old French cognate maistre.

The thing is, most non-Americans dont connect master with slavery at all. In the same way we wouldnt connect cotton with slavery. It was a term used within the context of slavery, but wasnt created _for_ slavery. In fact, it long predates african-american slavery:

_late Old English mægester "a man having control or authority over a place; a teacher or tutor of children," from Latin magister (n.) "chief, head, director, teacher"_

So if we dislike the user of master, do we ban whip? Or any other term negatively associated with slavery that actually predates it? I think the actual answer is contextual, and in the context of git, there is no relation to slavery whatsoever for most of the worlds populace
