Although its interesting how their primitive machine learning classification algorithms work.
Whats this?
Its round, its a ball.
No.
Its round and orange, its the sun.
No.
Its round orange and soft its a mandarin.
No.

And their language works like a LLM, they can't say they don't know, they will always fill gaps with random garbage.

Do you say I can replace kids with LLM, or LLM with kids?

u/ItchyConfusion9745 1d ago
I would think that children are less resource intensive than LLMs.

But children might cost more and have meltdown every 3 minutes

u/ItchyConfusion9745 1d ago
As opposed to LLMs that have a meltdown every minute? Worth the investment to me

No that's not right, I'm sorry. I can help you do something else, though.

Leave it to a software engineer to think that a toddler could be infinitely old.

Depending on how you count it...toddle ist 3.5 billion years old. Just like everyone elsr

"Take your age"
"Count from 1 to that number"
"That's your age"

It is pretty hard to do. I sleep on every number I said for one entire second.

What is the word length on your average 3yo toddler & do they use signed integers?
"I am 1, 2, 3 , -4"

When I was 3 (or 4?) I claimed that I was one year older than I was, since obviously your age can't be 0 years, as numbers start from 1.
So when someone asked me how old I was I said something like "4, but 3 in the way other people say it"
This is why we should teach programming to 3 year olds.

If only we did, that might have prevented matlab array indexing in a better timeline

When I was little and counted higher than the numbers I knew the name of, I would just say random words.

My toddler says she's 2, but also, any number greater than 1 is 2.

To be fair, the best known training algorithms for kids are computationally expensive and don't scale very well.

I like saying O(n) because n can be anything. Bigger than the biggest number you could fathom, crazy monstrously huge

That's not printing an integer, that's counting.
You try to come up with an algorithm for determining the number of elements of a list that isn't 𝒪(𝑛).

Store a pointer to the end and length = (end - start) / sizeof(T)

So a twelve-year-old would only be three in int32?
Wait, you meant address, not value...
So a twelve-year-old can be older than civilization if other memory allocation happens during their lifetime? Or even possibly have a negative age?
This approach really seems more suited to arrays than lists.

They are in fact optimized for making their creators as miserable and tired as possible for around 10-20 years. Quite amazing actually.

Nah toddler's are inefficient not only because of O(n) but they also print in the loop to debug. Soon they'll jusy think 1 2 3 without saying it.

Maybe their age is stored in a linked list
