@TEDchris @vkhosla Yes, I do. LLMs produce their answers with a fixed amount of computation per token. There is no way for them to devote more (potentially unlimited) time and effort to solving difficult problems. This is very much akin to the human fast and subconscious "System 1" decision

Are anybody else's notifications clogged with dumb crypto promotions and a series of @@@@@ for a bunch of random accounts? Could be the final straw for me with Twitter/X if this keeps up...

It's about time that someone designed a microwave which could handle heating metal objects. It's a failure of mankind that you can't heat beans in the tin in the microwave by 2023.

I've bought a lot of retro tech in my time, but today marks the first time I've received something so badly caked in sticky nicotine residue and stinking of tobacco smoke that I've had to return it. I do think ebayers should warn when something has come from a smoker's home

It was a great pleasure again to host this year's retrofest. A huge thank you to @HereBeDragons3 for organising and all the exhibitors for giving up their time to bring their special machines for our huge crowds to enjoy :)
