I was in a meeting presenting a whitepaper. And I went - “And this is the load-bearing part of the paper.”

I think I need a break from Claude.

What does making the world a better place mean?

How do you define “a better place”?

If I know the truth value of p and I also know p=>q, then an LLM would be able to deduce the truth value of q - even if the statements aren’t exactly in this form. Generally, LLMs are good with logical inference.

But logical inference itself is limited. You still have to find out if p is true or not - the ground truth.

How do you find that? You would be able to define in the prompt that if resume has p, infer q and do this. But determining the truth value of p is something LLM cannot do.

It’s not a limitation of the LLM. It’s the limitation of logic itself. You take 10 humans and give them the resumes with the same rubrics as the LLM. You’ll get a similar range of scores because everyone would assign different values.

The issue is not in logical inference. It’s in determining the value of p, which takes much more than logic. And current LLMs are limited to being logical.

New comment by achalxyz in "Using an 8K TV as a Monitor"

I have used a Samsung 43” 4k smart monitor with my mac mini for sometime as a replacement to multiple screens and it was a productive experience. However, I had to stop in 2-3 months as my eyes would get dry and itchy at the end of the day. Using such a large screen at such a short distance isn’t great for the eyes I think.
