I always tell people to trust the LLM to the same extent as an intern. Avoid giving it tasks you cannot verify the correctness of.

When I was at Amazon (pre covid), Eider could've been used for that.

(Hosted notebooks with IAM integration.)


I do agree with you in that I say "shampain" instead of "champann" (champagne) when I'm speaking English instead of French. Language is a tool for communication first and foremost.


Same thing, but ASR is the 'official' term for it.


I was thinking in a different direction. Maybe we can fingerprint the turns or other jerks/shakes along a route. Accelerometer Shazam.


At my uni, you could prepare a written answer. The professor would read your written answer and ask follow-up questions.


As a student of the previous generation, I much preferred exams with an oral defence component. Gave an opportunity to clear up any miscommunications, and I always walked away with a much better estimate for how well I did.


this was Soviet system as well, where student draw a random card with 3 exam questions (out of all curriculum) and had to prepare and answer question in person verbally in from of a panel of professors.

This system truly forced students to grind the hell out of science


Hard to see, though, how to do that with hundreds of students in a room, and be reasonably uniform and fair about it.

An argument perhaps that there should not be hundreds in a room.


I used to search in English to get more results. Short-term, I might start searching in my native tongue to get less results.


Depends, shipping part of it (just an encoder or decoder) could still work.


Even if bandwidth weren't an issue and all users had compatible hardware: You'd still be offloading a (semi-)trusted computation to user hardware, which is usually completely untrusted.


I get not wanting to redesign everything for portrait mode, but a simple "This page was mainly designed with desktops in mind, please turn your phone to landscape" would've done the trick just as well.


Phone people don't read, that's nonsense. Just put a series of next and I Agree buttons that does it for them.
