Last time I checked, he miserably failed the Azure Sphere after years developing with a massive team.


So, it's like taking off your pants to fart.

In most cases, LLMs has the knowledge(data). They just can't generalize them like human do. They can only reflect explicit things that are already there.

I don't think that's true. Consider that the "reasoning" behaviour trained with Reinforcement Learning in the last generation of "thinking" LLMs is trained on quite narrow datasets of olympiad math / programming problems and various science exams, since exact unambiguous answers are needed to have a good reward signal, and you want to exercise it on problems that require non-trivial logical derivation or calculation. Then this reasoning behaviour gets generalised very effectively to a myriad of contexts the user asks about that have nothing to do with that training data. That's just one recent example.

Generally, I use LLMs routinely on queries definitely no-one has written about. Are there similar texts out there that the LLM can put together and get the answer by analogy? Sure, to a degree, but at what point are we gonna start calling that intelligent? If that's not generalisation I'm not sure what is.

To what degree can you claim as a human that you are not just imitating knowledge patterns or problem-solving patterns, abstract or concrete, that you (or your ancestors) have seen before? Either via general observation or through intentional trial-and-error. It may be a conscious or unconscious process, many such patterns get backed into what we call intuition.

Are LLMs as good as humans at this? No, of course, sometimes they get close. But that's a question of degree, it's no argument to claim that they are somehow qualitatively lesser.


Seems they also want some AI money[0]. Guess, I'll keep using Valkey.

> they

I'm not sure antirez is involved in any business decision making process at Redis Ltd.

He may not be part of "they".


I'm not involved in business decisions and while I'm very AI positive I believe Redis as a company should focus on Redis fundamentals: so my piece has zero alignment on what I hope for the company.

In any case, what would be the problem? The page you mentioned simply illustrates how the product can be used in a specific domain; it doesn't seem forced to me.

Conflict of interest and disclosure posts are frequently downvoted.

You mean flagged.

Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.

Ah, so you just went through my history and downvoted everything in sight! Thanks for confirming.

I don't follow? I didn't flag you; you were remarking on a previous comment alleging shillage from 'antirez, and I'm pointing out that the behavior you say is "downvoted" is actually a black-letter guideline violation. People flag those posts.

Another one, though:

Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.


I can't help you if you repeatedly misinterpret me. Once you made the first response in this subthread, 4 or 5 of my comments went from 1 to 0 or -1. Cum hoc ergo propter hoc? Maybe.

I'll design a system for the senate that enables outside voters to first turn down the microphone's volume of a speaker if he says that another senator works for company X and then removes him from the floor. That'll be a great success for democracy and "intellectual curiosity", which is also in the guidelines.


It seems the public is getting tired of these AI slops. No one wants "AI powered" products. How long will the bubble last?


They've been doing deforestation for thousands years. The "Yellow" River is one of the results.


Isn't Trump a much bigger problem?


Circular trading is a common technique used in Ponzi schemes to create the illusion of trading activity and to attract more investors.


It's basically a Ponzi now. They simply profit on new investments. It's just no investor realizes he's the last one until it's too later.


A bubble isn't a Ponzi. You can't just call every case of financial mismanagement a Ponzi.


Correct. Using new investor money to pay out old investors would make it a ponzi.

At this point, from what I can see, it's all money going in, nothing coming out yet. So hence, not ponzi.

It may be a bubble. Or it may be smart investing. At this point it could go either way.
