<p>I used to part time for the (Danish) mail service.
The only sorting that was done automatically was the post codes. That was enough to get the letter to the right post office. The rest was done by the mailmen/women early in the morning.
It was a lot of fun trying to figure out what was meant by some of the addresses. The older people in particular often knew the story of why certain places were sometimes addressed in certain ways, or could guess the addresses based on the names of the people living there.</p>

<p>> Ban it from the dataset, add it to the analysis. You can choose your own flavor of noise.<p>Not sure exactly what you're proposing, but if the noise is added independently to different people, you can just buy multiple copies to reduce it.<p>There are a lot of ways to do this wrong, which is why so much analysis has gone into differential privacy.</p>

<p>I recently built a very large test bench for System Verilog.<p>I ran a bunch of different compilers on it, including some open source ones.<p>Some of them failed some tests, and it was natural to have my LLM (Claude Fable 5) root-cause the issues, and to double-check my test bench wasn't to blame.<p>But now I stood with all these patches that I couldn't just throw at the upstream maintainers all at once.  I ended up just filing a few issues and moved on to other things.<p>It felt weird to just file issues when my LLM had already spent a lot of time root-causing and fixing the issues. But then, maybe they could just have their LLMs do the same.<p>Still not sure if it was the right call?</p>

<p>> The rate of fundamental, broad-based breakthroughs lifting all LLM applications has clearly slowed with many of the most impactful recent discoveries being in scaling, optimization, tuning and productization toward specific domains.<p>To me it definitely feels like it's still accelerating, with the most impactful recent discovery being RL training reasoning models (late '24, early '25).<p>There's an interesting article called "sigmoids won't save you" <a href="https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-sigmoids-wont-save-you" rel="nofollow">https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-sigmoids-wont-save-you</a> which argues that (unless you have privileged information) you should always assume a process will continue about as long as it’s continued already. (Lindy's Law)<p>With that in mind the current disruption should last another 10-15 years (assuming it started in '10 or '17.)</p>
