Since I love collecting questionable analogies for LLMs, here's a new one I just came up with: an LLM is a lossy encyclopedia. They have a huge array of facts compressed into them but that compression is lossy (see also Ted Chiang).

The key thing is to develop an intuition for questions it can usefully answer vs questions that are at a level of detail where the lossiness matters.

This thought sparked by a comment on Hacker News asking why an LLM couldn't "Create a boilerplate Zephyr project skeleton, for Pi Pico with st7789 spi display drivers configured". That's more of an lossless encyclopedia question!

My answer:

The way to solve this particular problem is to make a correct example available to it. Don't expect it to just know extremely specific facts like that - instead, treat it as a tool that can act on facts presented to it.

Chemists recreate how RNA might have reproduced for first time Chemists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have demonstrated how RNA (ribonucleic acid) might have replicated itself on early Earth – a key process in the origin of life.

How did life on Earth begin? 🌍🧬
New #LMBResearch from Phil Holliger’s group, including James Attwater (now @uclchemistry.bsky.social‬‬ @uclnews.bsky.social) shows how pH-freeze-thaw cycles enables RNA self-replication, overcoming a key evolutionary hurdle.‬

That's what I'm saying, probably expressed in a bad way, of course should be no shame in poverty but that exists and that's one of the reason ghettification happens, I think the same you wrote about public housing and affordable housing, hope it can be done!

Also to avoid ghettification of public housing, you should not be able to tell the income of a person by his neighborhood or his house, but this is a deep problem in the US nowadays, Austria model is an example of a great public housing that keeps rent prices down while giving the choice to own home

It’s not a difference of opinion. It’s not a nuanced scientific debate.

What RFK Jr. is doing is ushering in the complete destruction of US public health infrastructure.

A.I. Hallucinations Are Getting Worse, Even as New Systems Become More Powerful A new wave of β€œreasoning” systems from companies like OpenAI is producing incorrect information more often. Even the companies don’t know why.

The newest and most powerful A.I. technologies β€” so-called reasoning systems from companies like OpenAI, Google and the Chinese start-up DeepSeek β€” are generating more errors, not fewer. As their math skills have notably improved, their handle on facts has gotten shakier.

If the device is an 🍎 watch (or any king of smart watch) of course NO you need an EKG and hospitalization for the first episode, you need more testing before giving any kind of medication, after a correct diagnosis of atrial fibrillation you have to give anticoagulant unless contraindicated

LLMs Are Still Full Of Health Misinformation ... but so are traditional search engines.

Yep, LLMs will absolutely give you bad information – about 20% of the time, as demonstrated in this study.

Of course, looking for the same information using typical search engines is just as bad.

There's garbage everywhere!
