With all due respect: why does this need an LLM, and this much data? Surely a "classic" knowledge base with a more traditional search bar, running on top of the same data this LLM was trained on would be way smaller, and actually as trustworthy as the source material it surfaces for you?

The LLM weights are not tuned for truth, including citing sources, it's tuned for "doing as much as possible, as fast as possible, on your own". If you ask it for a source, it literally has to autocomplete one, it's not going to figure out which source is the most appropriate or authoritative as part of that text generation pass.

That's because they do, as well as in every other giant product, because security auditing has gotten quite a bit better.

You mean Saudi Arabia is shutting down Bioware?

Because you forgot to look at how many westerners move to other countries, too, and how many people in those countries move to western countries. You're asking a question based on an assumption that doesn't hold.

This could have done without the "I am a kitchen equipment nerd, you can stop rolling your eyes" immediately followed by "I thought induction tops used tempered glass but they don't??" intro undermining the rest of the article.

It's like a bit like someone opening their article with "I am a bit of a PC building nerd, stop rolling your eyes, so anyway I thought you could just plug an enterprise NVMe drive into any motherboard but it turns out you can't??"

Oh no question, biscoff is yours, I will give you that any day of the week (and then ask if I could have one, of course). Even speculoos is pretty much Belgian. But speculaas... come on author, you clearly did _some_ research, why get this wrong?

> traditional Belgian cookie speculaas

Pardon? You mean the traditional Belgian, Dutch, French, and German cookie? Because it's a cross-border (food) cultural good, it's not something invented by, or to this day cherished in, one specific country.

It would be nice to already see parts of the entire map coloured so you can see (extremely approximately) what's available.

Anything that's tied to hardware is one accident away from locking you out forever unless you set of "2 of 3" or some other "let's make life even worse when it comes to authentication" solution.

Someone never learned the "you don't fund this year's conference using this year's signups and sponsorships, you fund NEXT year's conference using this year's signups and sponsorships" rule that applies once your conference is an established yearly event. How the hell was there no contingency fund?

If I am an expert at using a hammer, no matter which hammer I buy, I know what the result of swinging it will be. If I am an expert at using an LLM, I have no idea what the actual result is going to be, and that's before considering a model update. Unlike being an expert at a tool like photoshop, where even 10 years of updates still lets me go "I know what is going to happen if I crop this image".

LLMs are not a tool, they are something else.

It does though, even if it shouldn't be blindly taken as gospel. Arguments help, but some folks have a better brand of apple box to stand on, and "I live and breathe git" helps quite a bit ;)

Yep. So was 1.46 x 10^48

For now. Turns out the pigeon hole principle still holds.
