What is truth, but defined by our sensory input? LLMs care about truth insofar as truth exists in their sensory input.
They also can be massaged for financial incentives when controlled by private corporations, which can result in prioritizing things other than truth, much like humans.
The biggest mistake I see people make when criticizing LLMs is that they take the best possible modes of human thought from our best thinkers, and compare that to LLM edge cases.
Accuracy vs consistency isn't really a delineator. There's so much low-hanging fruit atm, like world models for LLMs improving drastically if you just train them longer. I'll believe the naysayers if say in 5 years GPT-4 is still near state of the art. Until then, there doesn't seem to actually be any theoretical limitations.
"Arguably competitive" is just plain wrong. I know it's fun to be dismissive of things, but making silly claims doesn't help comments like this read seriously.
You're seriously overestimating how hard this is, especially with poetry2nix. I like docker just fine and have used it in a development workflow and it's a pain in the ass and should never be used for that. It's great for packaging stuff up for prod, though.
Also, one man's "DESIGNED" is another man's hacks. I don't see anything wrong with how nix works. Potato/potato, I guess.
nix is far simpler for consumption. My coworkers don't like fancy new things, and they haven't had any complaints. They don't have to dick around with half a dozen different commands to get everything set up, or bother with docker volumes/port mapping/etc. They just run nix-shell and it all works. That's all you have to do with a shell.nix file, it's very simple.
It is harder to write on average atm, but it's very much worth it to me when it comes to sharing code for development. Also, LLMs help quite a bit when writing nix.
Yep, it can lock down exact versions of those libraries as well, which is great for not mucking about with lib versions between even different Ubuntu versions, not to mention distros or macOS.
Sure, that works. Or I can have it all in a single shell.nix file that covers everything and is super simple to use. It's great for handing off to coworkers that don't usually use Python.
Not really. I introduced it to our Python projects at work and it's been great. Partially because of poetry2nix, and partially because it makes it easy to include other stuff like a specific version of Redis for testing purposes. Everybody gets the exact same dev environment, reducing a ton of "works on my machine".
Does only direct sensory input count, or does experience mediated through tools count? How much do you or I really know about the Oort Cloud?
