As a hacker, I enjoy reading a few hundred words on some new optimisation method or an exciting new file system.

But I find it almost impossible to read thousands and thousands and thousands of words on wishy washy social ideas backed up by a few personal anecdotes and some tenuous links to reality.

Just "explain like I am 5" to gpt and sit back.

Comments are closed in the article, and it's from 2019... But... How do you explain Google Reader then?

It was a super proof-of-work-oriented. The ones who used it where like gods of article sharing. I hade the best newsletters by persons I knew. And then one day... Poof. Whyyyy?

I will miss you forever Google Reader.

Am I the only one thinking through the reading of this: "Wait a minute... isn't this article some kind of weak X then Y also? Observation of many cases, with generalized causality concludes that he just feels like x should cause Y? hahaha. Love the article btw.

This is just blatant self-promotion. I'm not a fan of Google either, but running my last 5 searches through Exa I'm not even getting DuckDuckGo-quality responses. And you're advertising yourself in the corner, patting your own back in blogposts, ushering me towards a pricing page and telling me scary stories before I go.

Maybe we should stop super-washing things and sell products on their literal merit. Google isn't the premier search provider because they're "super" anything, they're successful because they're free and get out of your way.

Also, the current AI advancements result from walking away from knowledge-semantic-logic AI methodologies into more statistics-generative approaches. This is also a result of those methodologies not working properly because of the unsolvable problem of infinite knowledge = infinite space (a HD/compute unsolvable problem) // Infinite divisibility / synthesis of knowledge (also a physical/compute/HD unsolvable problem. Right?

When I used it with ollama in the terminal (first try prompt: "create a snake game in HTML canvas", nothing else) it went forever rambling. It started with the right answer in HTML code, but then it started explaining, and started repeating itself, and then it started to put things like random code snippets and random explanations that were nonsense like:

```python def solve_quadratic_equation(a, b, c): """Solves a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0."""

  discriminant = (b ** 2) - (4 * a * a)
  if discriminant >= 0:
    root = (-b + math.sqrt(b ** 2 - 4 * a * a ** b**

  0.5 #
  1.

  # Return None if the quadratic equation has no real roots
  if (b ** 2) < (4 * c):
  return None

  # Calculate the roots using the quadratic formula
  b = -b
  b


  # a, b): Solve for the discriminant.

  # Handle the case of a complex discriminant
# Print the solution to the equation if (b * 2)

print("The quadratic equation is: " + a * x* 2 + b "x" + c) ```

Just realized that Gemma2 is pretty bad in programming tasks. Lol.

"One thing I like in an initial question is outrageousness. I love questions that seem naughty in some way — for example, by seeming counterintuitive or overambitious or heterodox. Ideally all three. This essay is an example. Writing about the best essay implies there is such a thing, which pseudo-intellectuals will dismiss as reductive, though it follows necessarily from the possibility of one essay being better than another. And thinking about how to do something so ambitious is close enough to doing it that it holds your attention."

This is pure gold.
