When I have a multi line message to send, I always redact and edit it in my favorite text editor, so no accidental send can happen. Plus I have all my shortcuts
I have a very naïve and maybe dumb question coming from someone who is used to scripting languages. It's about the `auto` keyword, while being a nice feature, why is it necessary to write it down ? Isn't it possible to basically say to the compiler : "Hey you see this var declared with no type ? Assume by yourself there is an `auto` keyword."
When I read this title, it sounded like "if you travel further with your vehicle, you will consume more gas". Wow, people get paid to make this study ?
It is sad people study "brain rot" for LLMs but not for humans. If people were more engaged in cognitive hygiene for humans, many of the social media platforms would be very sane.
What do you base your claim on that people don't study that? I do not follow the research in that area but would find it highly unlikely there was no research into it.
I did not express myself correctly, but you are kinda right. Expressed more correctly, the point I was trying to make is that the cognitive hygiene seems more mainstream/important for LLMs than for humans. There are studies of course of human "brain rot" such as this one : https://publichealthpolicyjournal.com/mit-study-finds-artifi...
What I am sad about is that some people spend time/worry about balancing some random weights of some LLMs for the sake of some "alignment" or whatever "brain rot". Aren't humans more important than LLMs ? Are we, as humans, that tied to LLMs ?
English is not my native language and I hope I made my point clearer.
And it fits the category of "rewrite it in rust for the sake of rewriting it in rust. Is it at least as good as the original ? No, but at least it's in rust".
It reminds me of the recent article on hn talking about rewriting sqlite in rust. Simply put, the point is that even if sqlite is written in C and may have small memory leaks, it works perfectly, being tested and fixed over 20+ years. By rewriting it in rust, OK you'll be memory safe, but you will have logic corner edge cases nasty bugs that will appear, and no one wants that. So sqlite will stay in C.
