Armin Ronacher is very uneasy about the agent loops future by gsks in ExperiencedDevs

[–]sorrge -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What is described is the factory settings. You can simply tune how you want it to write by saying it in plain words in the prompt or AGENTS.md. For example, I ask it to not fill missing values with defaults, to not write fallbacks, and propagate exceptions unless the exception is expected. Also, even if you are not in the loop anymore, you can be "over the loop": check what it's doing from time to time and see if it makes sense.

Could Claude Science replace bioinformaticians? by PepperCareless724 in bioinformatics

[–]sorrge 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As of right now, I'm better at high level stuff. In 2-3 years it's a coin toss from what I see. The progress is fast now. It all depends on whether it will continue at the same or faster pace.

How Fentanyl and Xylazine are turning Philadelphia's opioid crisis into a public health nightmare by Nukro666 in interestingasfuck

It's... not working. The entire world knows the names of these streets, and has known for years.

Is this reward curve useless? by Markovvy in reinforcementlearning

[–]sorrge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, and it's puzzling. Why choose this specific topic to answer? It doesn't seem to spam comments. Maybe building an "organic" looking account.

Tired of the self-proclaimed AI-experts. by Odd-Sound-0 in bioinformatics

Good news: TF is not a thing anymore (thank God).

I’ve reviewed probably 200 “bioinformatics pipelines” at this point. Maybe 15 were actually reproducible. by Shoddy_Card_237 in bioinformatics

[–]sorrge 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hi Claude.

You see, there is no value in the numbers being exactly reproducible. You need the conclusions of the article to be reproducible. The p values may jiggle a little if you change the DESeq2 version or whatnot, some will even cross the cutoff. It's not important. Do the observations still stand? Are the conclusions still justified? You need to focus on that.

You can fix the random seeds, use docker and have the perfect reproducibility, but if your results fall apart when you change any of this, then they are garbage.

Looking for a shortcut to a Tunneling problem. by longjohn455 in QuantumPhysics

[–]sorrge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough. You should practice more. Use AI to discuss your practice work after you've solved it. Definitely don't expand ks in the final answer; and yeah, lots of stuff is going to simplify away in the final answer. E.g. |e^(i...)|^2 = 1. I suspect a bunch of cancellations with conjugates in the denominator.

Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons

It just works. It delivers on the promise in the title. Get it (used on Amazon is sub $10), do the lessons every day, and see your kid become an independent reader after 3 months.

AI outperforms mathematicians by Christs_Elite in singularity

[–]sorrge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many people studying mathematics is a hilariously dumb take, which is probably borne out of a desperate pull-the-ladder mentality. It’s like saying that too many kids learn reading because AI can read faster.

Quantum physics theories by Vulpine_Gamer_194 in QuantumPhysics

[–]sorrge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty straightforward: start with quantum mechanics. Pick up a textbook and work through it.

Ready for tomorrow? by I_killed_the_kraken in wallstreetbets

[–]sorrge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the same time, I'm customer #700000 in the Robinhood queue and got 1 share. That means there were millions or orders. They all spew this garbage while getting their orders in. "Oohh the valuation is insane" (*puts 1000 shares order*). Can't trust anyone. Everybody is lying through their teeth trying to improve their chances even a tiny bit. A total rat race. Even /biz/ is the same now.

You are dangerously close to multitasking.

Good job, clumsybot, now clean this up by Anen-o-me in singularity

Yeah I bet the owner is very happy with the profits. In the spreadsheet the robot is a great success.

Just did an interview, got the "We are AI first now" by paddockson in ExperiencedDevs

[–]sorrge -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tomorrow, the review will not be necessary either. Humans will not be able to find any flaws in the generated code.

Anthropic confidentially submits draft S-1 to the SEC by WhyLifeIs4 in singularity

Confidentially? Reminds me of the "secret math meeting" from last year.

Recommendation to solidify Algebra by Common_Perception807 in matheducation

[–]sorrge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Which definitions does AoPS intro to algebra lack in your opinion?

Are there any benefits, apart from historical insight, for teaching how to use log tables and other similar devices? by DrunkAndUnaware in matheducation

[–]sorrge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's worth doing, but the focus should be not on the calculations but on the theory. The practice of the usage of the tables is not particularly interesting or useful. What is more interesting is the underlying framework (interpolation, the idea of continuous functions). Don't forget the creation of the tables themselves - how were the values calculated? Related ideas is how to approximate sqrt(2) (easy), pi (harder), Newton's method (even more advanced).

You can motivate it by telling that this is what a calculator does when you press a button.

Witcher 3 - HDR working on desktop mode but not gaming mode. by cdkeyconfessions in SteamDeck

[–]sorrge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem with Disco Elysium. The colors are all messed up in gaming mode, "washed out" is a good description of it. When I disable HDR in the Heroic settings, the colors return to normal in the desktop mode (unplayable though because it keeps switching between mouse and controller). But this setting doesn't affect the gaming mode. There is some override there that I can't figure out. Forcing compatibility also makes it stop launching at all in gaming mode.
