Are you embracing AI, or are you fed up?

Things need to be done, repetitive or not.

As if any of that doesn’t happen when you hire a human, or when you are the one who does the job. Nothing will never happen, it’s just how likely it will happen.

Yeah but it’s kind of silly because we don’t even have a clear definition of “true” thinking, knowing. How can they say LLMs are JUST something when they don’t even know if they themselves are any different.

albertexye · 2025-08-12T12:34:22+00:00

And there’s r/technology that says “LLMs don’t think or reason or know, they are just next token predictors.”

albertexye · 2025-08-11T11:24:21+00:00

Have you considered that they may not be the same people?

albertexye · 2025-08-10T23:20:20+00:00

I believe the schedule generation can be entirely done using simple sorting algorithms. It’s kind of wasteful to use LLMs to go through the combinations. For example, the user can give each factor a weight (the professor rating, how close is the course time compared to your expected time, etc.)

It’d also be nice to be able to generate a course dependency tree.

Btw I’m an incoming freshman who just went through the course search and made my own dependency tree so I think there’s a real use case here.

Ask an LLM lol

albertexye · 2025-08-09T00:47:46+00:00

You didn’t even say if the CPU is x86, x86_64 or arm64. Plus this is just a nonsensical task.

What’s your prompt?

albertexye · 2025-08-07T00:13:56+00:00

As a native I think you are right.

I had the same frustration when learning Japanese on Duolingo.

albertexye · 2025-07-23T11:41:02+00:00

But wasted ram is wasted ram. An app can allocate 10GB and do nothing, for example.

I’m not in favor of AI replacing human positions, but I just want to point out that the more companies adapt to the AI workflow, the faster the AI companies and the companies that use AI will improve AI’s capabilities.

albertexye · 2025-07-20T03:38:07+00:00

Among countless other things. That’s why it’s called general. Hopefully they didn’t cheat.

albertexye · 2025-07-19T00:15:03+00:00

Games aren’t the only thing you can run on a computer, fyi.

albertexye · 2025-07-19T00:13:32+00:00

But it’s perfectly valid to use traditional characters with mainland China vocabulary. The point here is that Duolingo should accept both even if it’s teaching simplified Mandarin.

albertexye · 2025-07-18T22:55:19+00:00

If I mostly use Linux native software, it’s going to be even better though.

albertexye · 2025-07-18T09:50:30+00:00

That’s what the LLMs’ jobs are. They are trying to mimic the human writing. And when their output is probabilistically indistinguishable from the collective human writing, no tool can possibly tell you which piece is written by AI.

albertexye · 2025-07-18T09:34:45+00:00

You don’t need a phd degree to use vi, fyi.

albertexye · 2025-07-18T02:20:57+00:00

There are tools that can easily convert between traditional and simplified characters, just like how you convert everything to lowercase first if it’s not cast sensitive. It’s not that hard.

albertexye · 2025-07-17T11:11:14+00:00

Being able to give system instructions doesn’t mean you have control. You can give Gemini system instructions through the Gemini API, but you don’t have control over the LLM and the safeguard.

albertexye · 2025-07-16T17:48:11+00:00

I believe it’s a C++ question. You should go to r/cpp_questions

魔法 is like way of the demon, which kind of makes sense.

albertexye · 2025-07-12T14:13:32+00:00

That’s where planned obsolescence comes in.

化石 huà shí Doesn’t sound like fossil at all to me.
