People on here have zero consistency in their worldviews.
Ask any capitalism zealot (ie hners) whether markets are zero sum and they'll wax poetical about "creating value". But then talk to them about Chinese competition and suddenly everything is a rivalrous good lolol.
I hate to break it to you, your so called rival won this game decades ago when you undercut the working class to make a buck and laundered cheap Chinese labor as productivity. So if you believe the Chinese are rivals um welcome to "reap what you sew" <shrug>.
A deeply ironic comment which associates <THING YOU DON'T LIKE> with <GROUP YOU DON'T LIKE> due to complete ignorance about the group. An MBA would never approve a technique with basically unlimited capex. So I hate to break it to you but "bigger weights" is 100% the computer scientist's view of winning because everything is an "abstraction".

Ya sure let's just posit another random hypothesis about evolutionary biology in order to substantiate the claim that LLMs are intelligent.
Or (bear with me) you can recall your (likely) experience proving stuff like SAS triangle identities and reflect on whether that required intelligence or just computation.
The funniest thing about LLMs is the cognitive dissonance they cause people. People clearly recognize (and bemoan) the fact that LLMs produce derivative breathless prose ie they fundamentally fail at "unstructured creativity" (something the might accurately labeled intelligence) but are then shocked that the same LLMs can do math.
It's reasoning from a flawed premise that math universally requires intelligence and creativity. It does not. Anyone that's proved things via "diagram chasing" can affirm that. The conclusion you should draw is that math (at least the kind they excel at) isn't actually a creative endeavor.
It's because it's humid af in the northeast (and all through the East Coast). I moved to CA last year from FL and 75/78 here feels perfectly fine (I can sleep just fine) because it's completely dry. We literally have our windows open all day every day except today when it was like 90 (and tonight it'll be back down to 70 so we'll be able to sleep without AC).
yes but i'm not going to link it here in order to preserve my anonymity

<X to doubt> not because i'm not aware there aren't lots of people with PhDs in tech, but because generally the comments on hn are from outsider wannabes
I have a PhD in ML compilers (one of my papers is cited on the site I linked) and as I mentioned in the previous "discussion" I currently work in FAANG as an ML compiler engineer.
