LLM

Classy Andrej is making shilling videos from Thailand (he leaked his location in the video ) targeting normies (the previous set of videos has been partially filmed in Japan. Andrej is living a truly digital nomad’s life). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWvNQjAaOHw Why would he shill? Well, he and guys like him made a lot of promises, not to us (who tf cares), but to the money guys, that this particular technology will completely transform the world, and that they are the very top guys in the field, so money shall be given to them (to the affiliated companies and entities)....

DESCRIPTION: Idiots, idiots everywhere. Now I can accurately summarize what coding using LLMs actually /is in just a few sentences. Recall how people usually describe a code maintenance job: we have this code to run, while the original developers are gone and leave us no design documentation. This hypothetical situation is exactly what you get when an LLM finished spewing out the slop: you now have some code, very cheap, even for free, but it is not yours, the underlying understanding (of the whys) is not in your head, and the original developer is already gone....

Well, I’ve watched it. There are a few things to realize. The code it generated ran without an issue with the simulation task. It, however, is incomprehensible without understanding of all the details (like any other code). This is, probably, so because they have feed in a lot of very similar internal code in the training phase. The gibberish from the “thinking” phase might be helpful or it may be equally cryptic....

slop noun Cambridge dictionary food that is more liquid than it should be and is therefore unpleasant liquid or wet food waste, especially when it is fed to animals Oxford Learner’s Dictionary ​waste food, sometimes fed to animals liquid or partly liquid waste, for example urine or dirty water from baths There is also a very related term “goyslop” from internet sewers (losers are always looking for someone to blame and hate [instead of themselves])....

Let’s do it again, because why tf not, especially given the magnitude of the current mass-hysteria about this AI meme (it is literally everywhere and even on Slashdot, which is the last bastion of sanity, there are 4 articles in a row with “AI” in the title). what are the roles of type-classes in Haskell and traits in other languages? This is supposedly a naive and uninformed question I asked Deepseek R1 14b....

AUTHOR: <lngnmn2@yahoo.com> When I was a kid they told me not to stare at the sun I had this vision, that the brain structures are sort of like trees, while the “branches” are just like patches thorough our yard after fresh snow. Some of them remain thin, just someone walked across it absentmindedly, some gets broadened by a heavy re-use. Who would plow through a fresh snow while one could take follow the path that is already here....

The shitstorm is of the highest category and pleasing to watch. The main issue is that there is models can be produced (trained) at a fraction of the costs by just good and hardworking graduate students who did their homework. It reminds me of legendary Andrew Ng, who was way above everyone else just by being smart, hardworking and systematic in building everything(deriving all the math) from scratch. The Deepseek success has the same vibes....

DESCRIPTION: Memes and mirrors. Nowadays things are moving way too fast. It is not just controlled trial-and-error, it is literally throwing everything at the wall (to see what sticks). It started with that meme “Attention Is All You Need”, when they just came up with an “architecture” that sticks. That “attention” and “multi head attention” turned out to be just a few additional layers of a particular kind. No one can explain the actual mechanisms of how exactly or even why the layers are as they are (abstract bullshit aside)....

This is the difference between a LLM and an expert. An LLM spews out a “propaganda” from the web. ### what are the unique properties of a Haskell program 1. **Statically Typed**: Haskell has a strong, static type system that ensures type safety at compile time. 2. **Purely Functional**: Haskell programs are expressions, and functions have no side effects. This leads to code that's easy to reason about, test, and debug....

I am being systematically cancelled on HN (as if I am a fucking russian – I am NOT – or something), but sometimes it feels ridiculous. LLM don’t “do maths” by definition (which in this context is the code). LLM “predict” the next symbol after “2+2=” and separately and independently (in principle) predict token-by-token of why that is true. There is absolutely no “reasoning” or “understanding” of any kind whatsoever, just as a parrot would do....
