Is it really that confusing? Heart rate is correlated with oxygen consumption which is correlated with metabolic activity. The wearable would see the increased heart rate when a person is moving with a heavy backpack versus moving without one.

Now whether we can do that accurately with today’s wearables and without calibration to each individual is up in the air as far as I’m concerned. But it seems strange to me that you’re confused as to how we could even directionally infer these things.

The past two days have been awful as someone who uses Railway.

I like seige tanks

What people espousing these kinds of opinions really mean is “I’m not afraid of AI taking MY job”

This is a nit but his name is actually Erik Satie not Eric Satre.

It seems like the entire thought process you’re trying to sell hinges on the idea that OpenAI reported the attack first. Did you forget that it was actually HuggingFace that reported it first, and OpenAI only stepped forward latter?

It’s just a boring and unhelpful complaint that afaict largely serves to soothe the commenters ego rather than point at anything insightful that’s useful or predictive. Point me to your favorite “next token predictor” comment that was actually insightful or predictive. You have years of material to draw from.

I just prefer HN comments to be better reflections of reality. There is an unspoken expectation here that people here know what they’re talking about especially when it comes to technical matters. The rise of LLMs has given way to a HN branded populism that willingly denies reality as well. “Next token predictor” truthism is just so dumb and completely ignores the reality of what these tool are able to do. Smash that upvote button every time it feels good if you want but it’s just a meaningless take at this point. It won’t help you predict anything that’s coming.

Since we disagree on the present let’s informally do a “remind me 2 years” to this discussion and see what’s happened then.

Fair so let me be clear. I’m whining because the “next token predictor” reductionist point of view has been wrong and is only growing more wrong with time. Clearly these things can do things that actually matter. Do you disagree?

Are they useful or not? Will they continue changing the world or not? People who choose one way or the other for describing them typically fall on one side or the other in these questions imo. What do you think? Will these next token predictors change the world or not?

Every day I wake up and open HN.

“LLM has made legitimate mathematical discoveries” —> Wow the rate of progress is amazing. Highly upvoted.

“LLM does something not good” -> Does everyone else not realize LLMs are just dumb next token predictors? Highly upvoted.

So tired of this discourse and this site.

There are articles with far fewer upvotes and comments ranking higher on the front page right now, despite being the same age or older than this one. HNs opaque ranking system at it again.

Everyday? Which 10 problems were solved by mathematics grad students in the past 10 days?

OK I’ll grant that it’s not your obligation to be my search function (despite you making the wild assertion in the first place), so instead can you just point us to the latest grad student solved problem of this level that you know of?
