What was your latest bad idea?
I drink a cold brew this morning, because it was sitting on my desk from yesterday… Cold brew concentrate. Then after finishing my drink I went to the sauna… This was not a good decision.
The sauna exercises the cardiovascular system
Coffee stimulates the cardiovascular system (in a different way)
I did not feel good! I only lasted half my normal time. I wont be mixing coffee and extreme heat again.
Google symptoms.
It’s always bad, it never helps.
At least the LLMs are better here then searching for symptoms on google!
People hating on LLMs so hard I think they haven’t looked at how bad Google has gotten. I’m not saying either is any substitute for medical knowledge, but Google is fucking useless any more.
Shit, doing your own research on Google is what got us anti-vax and 9/11 truthers and such. Not downplaying the issues with LLMs, but I do agree with this statement right here.
People who blindly hate LLMs for search results but don’t hate old search algorithms would hate to see under the hood
Tokens map-reduced into a weighted matrix VS a weighted matrix map-reduced into tokens
LLMs used for finding KEYWORDS or TOPICS is just acting like a highly specific search engine, like google before they got SEOed to death.
Perplexity is my goto for web search. It says its summarized piece and points you to sources. its great
Absolutely not, unfortunately.
Nothing’s better with LLMs.
example
Probabilistic token generation based on large bodies of text is exactly where LLMs shine, its a narrow area, and is not “intelligence”, but its much better at the classic webmd search of “here are my symptoms” what could it be?
It fits perfectly into first pass diagnosis of symptoms.
