The entire point of an academic paper is to add to the sum of human knowledge. How can an LLM trained on a subset of human knowledge possibly even begin to accurate evaluate such a paper?

I trust an LLM to review that the language used in the paper is grammatically correct, but not to evaluate new information for accuracy.

One imagines that they're trying. I work at not-a-frontier-lab and my company still ended up hiring someone who apparently wasn't aware that we track system access. He was turned over to the federal authorities after trying to exfiltrate a lot of user+system data to North Korean IPs.

Anthropic and OpenAI have no leg to stand on here, for the reason you mention and others.

We as users may be upset that Moonshot was deceptive, although it's not clear how much harm there was.

Anthropic wanting us all to be upset on their behalf? No, thank you.

If Moonshot sold Claude access at Kimi prices? Seems like a win for users, albeit a deceptive one.

Polls use sampling to avoid the sort of social bias suggested by your question.

Ask the right person, like someone who protested, and they could tell you that literally everyone supports the protests. Why, everyone they know participated in at least one, and most of them went to many of them!

Regardless, I'm not sure why injustice should be subject to a popular referendum. If greater than 50% of polled North Koreans praise their current political leadership, does that make their current leadership good?

Hong Kong is one of my favorite cities, and I was there in 2019 as it happens, though not for the full year. I knew people who participated in protests, and people who sniffed and said they were stupid, although when pressed, that was more out of a belief (correct, it turns out) that they would be ineffective, and were dangerous to participate in.

It is still true that something of value has been lost, while it remains a fantastic city. It is still true that multiple political prisoners are being held on charges most of us would identify as unjust.

It is also true that protesters were upset about many varied things, including the outrageous cost of housing. But it's not clear what you're trying to say with that and silly arguing about polling sources. That Jimmy Lai, Joshua Wong, and many others deserve their imprisonment? That nothing of value has been lost as China has suppressed dissent and the free press in Hong Kong?

I'm really happy that we live in a world in which people who don't know how to use the tools they have (and can't be bothered to find out) can use a coding agent to make their own tool that does what they want the way they want it to!

I'm really sad that those people keep releasing those tools to other people via cookie-cutter websites filled with misinformation instead of just enjoying them privately.

I think you're learning that Toast exists due to "skill issues."

I'm sorry Finder hurt you. Please refrain from taking it out on me.

That's progressive disclosure, and it's usually considered to be a good thing for usability.

Let's be clear: if you save something in macOS, by default you get: 1. a text field with something like "Untitled" already selected, but not the extension, so if you just start typing, the extension isn't replaced. 2. a text field for tags to make organization easier 3. a Where drop-down with recent locations, favorites, drives, etc. 4. a button with an arrow pointing down next to the "where" list. 5. depending on the app, probably a format drop-down.

Friends and family who depend on "you're good with computers, right?" people like us, they get overwhelmed by too many choices. Here, macOS gives them five, only five, and the complaint is that most people ignore four of them!

Give them the larger menu by default, and it's more options to ignore. If someone is saving every single file to their Desktop (/me shudders), then they are ignoring every bit of even a small, simple UI, so giving them a more complicated UI accomplishes nothing good.

I said they're ignoring four of the five UI elements, but now I wonder how many of the files on the desktop are named "Untitled (38).pdf" or whatever. They could be ignoring all five!

Finder is fine: not the best, not the worst.

Your list seems very preference-shaped, not pointing to actually-missing features I can see. You could make a case about discoverability, but it's hard to see how letter combinations that only work within one application and no others are easily memorized. If your habits mean you spend a lot of time working with files in a UI, then memorizing double-tap C and C+F might be easy for you. Otherwise, using the same Cmd+C and Opt+Cmd+C would have the benefit of doing what it does in nearly every other program. Or, as the other responder said, dragging auto-escapes appropriately.

I spend most of my time using a CLI, and I'm not claiming Finder is the best keyboard-driven file manager out there, but I will say that it's consistent, and works the way macOS works. Key combos work the way they work in every app, and holding down Opt updates the Edit menu to make it clear what would be different. You can do the most common things pretty easily and clearly, even if sometimes you have to use a mouse and right-click. There are also third-party apps for focused file management for pros, including some that use tuis, like ranger.

The word "most" is doing a lot here. Europe guarantees consumer rights by law, while the US relies on companies adopting the practices voluntarily. Most do, but larger companies more universally than smaller, and it's by no means universal.

It may be only a matter of time before all devs remember to append ", and make no mistakes" to the end of their LLM prompts, but I don't think we as an industry will ever reach a point at which every release of every package/library/application is scanned with the most capable model available.

I mean, we've had tooling like fuzzers available for a very long time, and most devs haven't run one against their software ever, let alone before each release.

It's the human factor I think will keep this a problem essentially-forever.

Sorry for the late response; it's been a busy week.

As a user, I don't care how complicated is the means of displaying images in a terminal session. I would only want to do so when I'm deep in a text-oriented context and there is a suddenly a need for an image. Not a chart or a graph, but an actual image. As a user, whatever contortions are necessary at that point are fine, because it's an unusual circumstance.

I hope that makes sense.

This will alarm you, then.

I set Siri to a masculine voice, because I disliked the gendered assumptions I felt with the default.

I gave my Claw Discord bot a feminine identity (Ada, with a pfp of Ada Lovelace) for the same reason. But then I set up a separate Discord bot for an LLM outside of Claw, and gave it a masculine identity so I could easily distinguish between the two mentally and expressively.

All still clankers, but "it" is too general for my dual-bot config.

Sure, of course sometimes an image conveys things better than a thousand words. But a very large percentage of what most people do with computers is primarily text, with more images in ads than useful content. By and large GUIs don't use images to convey information better, they just make text worse.

Modern terminal software supports displaying images, for what it's worth.

I use actualbudget.org to track all spending, but only update investment accounts ("off-budget" in Actual Budget terms) once a month. Completely deterministic, as all things related to numbers should be.

I have pointed my LLM at the SQLite DB and asked it to tell me what it could see from my last five years of transactions, and I was impressed with the things it picked up, and what it reminded me of, but I'm not sure I saw any value in the sense of anything I would change.

I'm going to have it review things monthly to see if that helps me, but I'm not sure it will. I'm generally already aware of how my finances are going because of my budget updates.
