What is preventing these crossword solvers from not looking at the advanced crossword solutions?

Mathematicians and academics in their ivory towers are forgetting that everything is getting automated. They want to carve out fun problem solving niches that's fine but who's going to fund that? If they want to be funded by the society/civilization their argument can't be leave advanced fun problems for their hobby.

> stop testing advanced mathematical problems on proprietary models

I don't know but this phrasing comes off as gatekeeping.

Because they asked the model what it wanted to be called?

Is this for setup for agentic coding? Why not also run the IDE compiler etc... on the same machine to use those CPU cores as well?

Like far right isn't going to vote in mass surveillance the moment they have any chance. (Not disputing that there are other frustrations that are fuelling the rise of far right, correct or not. But isn't one of those)

I blame Corbyn as much as Cameron if not more. Corbyn was supposed to represent the working class but because Remain could have benefited some Tories he backstabbed the working class and at least a whole generation if not 2 and for what?

I am pretty sure the Luddites did more than just print manifestos.

And the human beings who use them to produce code don't produce deterministic results either. Current harnesses have come a long a way to make non determinism not be a problem for quite a few areas. And the scope keeps increasing every day.

That's a strange hill to die on. It's like saying we will never use an IDE or static linter or syntax highlighter etc...

Also there are already non-VC subsidized hosted open weights LLM providers which should give you a very good sense of the marginal cost.

I forbid my agents from adding any comments. I review the code and add comments manually. If I can't understand something despite having the context then I throw away the code instead of having an LLM generate comments to explain what it did. This way the code stays readable/debuggable by humans.

Yeah that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. This gives me some ideas on some 2 data center setup with tolerance for 1 DC failure within VR or Paxos that I didn't think was possible.
