Turns out that a company that is not publicly traded and run by people that only care about stock prices, can actually care about their customers.

Why not do a CI pipeline from the beginning instead of relying on trust that no one ever forgets to run a check, considering adding CI is trivial with gitlab or github.

I find this hard to believe and have never seen that ever.

Considering all apps become more slow and laggy every year it seems on point.

Crazy that it took this long to allow parameter validation and transformation before calling super in the constructor.

That was something that always bothered me because it felt so counterintuitive.

Why wouldn't you factor in training? It is not like you can train once and then have the model run for years. You need to constantly improve to keep up with the competition. The lifespan of a model is just a few months at this point.

The macbook air doesn't even have a fan. I don't think you could built a fan-less x86 laptop.

Do people not use their own government as the entry point for visa applications? I just go to the website of the foreign office of my government which has a list of the requirements to enter every country in the world and what needs to be done and how. I have never started with a google search.

> ‘They’re not investing in a chatbot’ is a huge miss by apple

Why? Because everyone else is doing it (and not making a profit btw)?

Sure, it was never my intention to make it seem like a general statement, just highlighting that there is a large class of problems for which it is true.

As you point out there are many problems that higher complexity classes than NP.

At the heart of the P vs NP problem lies the observation that solution verification seems to be much easier than solution generation. If that applies in this context is another question but I think it is not unreasonable to assume that the judge needs to be less powerful than the performer.

Or in other words, I don't need to be a chef myself to decide if a meal is good or not.

Search will fold into AI. ChatGPT already searches for answers on given prompts.

There will no longer be a reason to interact with a search engine directly for most people, AI will decide by itself if it retrieves from memory or performs a search.

I think it is practical when highlighting text and then pressing " once puts quotes and the start and the end of the highlighted region.

But I agree that in normal input it is often annoying.

For me the usefulness of LLMs is proportional to how shitty google has become. When searching for something you get a bunch of blog spam or other SSO optimised shit results to pages that open dozens of popups asking you to subscribe or make an account. ChatGPT gives you the answer immediately and I must say I find it helpful 90% of the time.

For simple coding questions it is also very good because it takes your current context into account. It is basically a smarter "copy paste from stack overflow".

At least for now LLMs do not replace any meaningful work for me, but they replace google more and more.
