They still are parrots. Just properly trained with a lot of data. Doesn’t make them not useful. But that’s what they are though.

I interpret the word 'parrot' to mean incapable of creative or original thought. Solving a major maths problem that has resisted the best mathematicians for so long seems to prove otherwise (even if it were just a matter of remixing old ideas, which is not the case here).

What do they need to do for you to consider them non parrots, and do you consider a lot of humans as parrots?

> Solving a major maths problem that has resisted the best mathematicians for so long seems to prove otherwise (even if it were just a matter of remixing old ideas, which is not the case here).

I don't think we know enough about how they work to claim that. OpenAI said they had 10 THOUSANDS agents working on the problem, testing all ideas they found in the literature (including, it seems, the breakthrough of the guys who had it for the hypo viscose case).

Yup. They have much more bandwidth to test things, but no original thoughts (and tbh, not thoughts at all, actually).

>creative or original thought.

If this can only answer questions, then it fails this test. Because at least the question has to come from somewhere...

Did it create the path to the solution, or just grab it from conversations with a researcher working on the problem?

Good question. I think we will know very soon, perhaps not for this particular math problem, but they just need to solve another one independently and we'll know for sure. My bet is that they can.

Yeah I have Infuse only, and am happy with it. No need for jellyfin or whatever else. Honestly Infuse may be one of my best app purchases of these past 10 years…

ssshhhhhht, AI is intelligent now, no need to read any of its output! /s

“Good news” yeah…

> why not just do an initial setup step to gitignore the usual files?

Or even better, have a proper global gitignore file on your computer…

The repo should define rules for the repo, no? You have to hope other contributors have a similar local gitignore?

For files like `.DS_Store`, technically yes. Usually the people do not have a proper global gitignore, so we put these files in the gitignore of the repo, but it’s not repo-related, it’s OS-related… Same goes for editor files. The editor is something user-related, not project related (except e.g. for iOS development where the IDE is kind of more or less imposed).

Once again, “AI is bad at things I’m very good at, but good at things I am not very good at (or don’t care about).”

See first footnote

Thanks, I had not spotted that. I guess "better SQL" claim makes it seem like it is something more novel.

I’m sorry but the “If SQL were built on YAML” part is actually better than SQL.

I’m pretty sure they actually can actually. On an iPhone with a “ask for no tracking” configuration (no IDFA), I’d wager it’s probably even easier on the web than it is in an app.
