You're absolutely right but this is HN so any criticisms of the great us of a will earn you a storm of down votes.

It's popular and somewhat fashionable these days to be offended at anything, hate men or be racist towards white people. I think she's just trying to tick all the boxes.

I don't agree at all. The australian experience for women in field work fly-in-fly-out mining is that there is semi constant harrassment from low level nudes in the locker rooms. to invasive approaches and even door busting in the dorms. It's a massive problem. Writing this down to fashion misunderstands the problem. Sorry, but I think you're just wrong.

It's the oppression olympics of 2024. Some people just like to get offended recreationally.

You are absolutely right. Most men don't want to be a nurse just like most women won't prefer to be a car mechanic.

HN is in complete denial of this simple fact. It's hilarious how seemingly intelligent people can be so badly influenced by identity politics.

> thanks to all the knowledge they contain

This is what's problematic with modern "AI". Most people inexperienced with it, like the parent commenter will uncritically assume these LLMs poses "knowledge". This I find the most dangerous and prevalent assumption. Most people are oblivious to the fact how bad LLMs are.

I know excatly how bad the output they give is, because I ask for output that I can understand, debug and improve.

People misusing tools don't make tools useless or bad. Especially since LLMs designers never claimed the compressed information inside models is spotless or 100% accurate, or based on logical reasoning.

Any serious engineer with a modicum of knowledge about neural networks knows what can or can't be done with the output.

This comparison makes no sense. If this was in good faith, you'd compare Manhattan and the square mile or westminster.

It was in good faith. Not knowing much about the UK, I took the largest city to be the densest. Seems I was off.

London is the densest, but the comparison was between the central area of one city and the entire area of another, perhaps even including suburbs beyond the formal city limits of the second. When you're leave out enough detail and just post two numbers, you're apt to make such mistakes while posting and thereby post something meaningless.

One good way to avoid posting meaninglessly is to write meaningful sentences and explain your conclusions/inferences explicitly.

I'm struggling to believe London Brigde area and the square mile get 5x less congested than New York. What areas of London and New York are we comparing?

Greater London compared to Manhattan, apparently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_London. I don't see what conclusions can be drawn from that comparison, which is why I asked GP to be explicit.
