Yes. How else could the LLM even begin to do what it did otherwise. Not a criticism of you, just a place for a rant but I still find it incredible when people think they're doing something novel when really they're just reassembling existing work.
What really reinforced this for me was that I recently vibe coded a home assistant addon that, as it turns out, there was a github project that did almost the same thing. The initial implementation that came out of the LLM was essentially the same just with just some small tell in things like the logging that came from what I prompted it.
It was a very small project (maybe 500 LOC) so there's a greater chance of coincidence but it really felt like the office junior had just ripped off someone else's work and tried to hide it (badly) and really, that's exactly what they do
I had performed a quick GitHub search and not found any code. It certainly didn't have these decoy notes documented on its own. It only found them because I provided it a known Erik Satie piece, which has a specific number of notes, and it dug in to figure out what the excess notes were.

Are we really still having the "LLMs can only regurgitate what was in their training data" argument? Where did the counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture come from?
They're still washed, otherwise they would have all kinds of crap on them (literally, chickens only have one hole), they just aren't subjected to chemicals and scrubbing etc.
Having very low salmonella rates in the flock makes it really unnecessary

The eggs I buy in my supermarket don't have literally crap on them, but it isn't uncommon that they have bit of dirt or hay/grass on them, and those are bought from a mainstream supermarket chain. I do realize they obviously do a quick cleaning pass regardless, just wanted to clarify that many eggs aren't pristine when bought :)
Rich people can invest relatively small amounts in hundreds, if not thousands of startups through preferentially treated retirement funds and pay no (or little) tax on the ones that make it big.
This is what has made it so easy to secure funding in the US.
Should Europe do the same? There's definitely an ethical dilemma in making the rich, richer for the sake of innovation.
>There's definitely an ethical dilemma in making the rich, richer for the sake of innovation.
What do you mean? The European rich have always been getting richer via inheritance regardless of innovation. That's a monetary and legal policy hack that's been in place for decades/centuries here which is how the richest families are centuries old.
Investing in innovation instead would be a much needed breath of fresh air and give current generation of youth some skin in the game instead of a defetist mentality that there's no point in working hard because the zero sum game is rigged. So I don't get your point.
We must be buying different things if you think Amazon is cheap in the EU.
I find almost everything can be had cheaper elsewhere these days, except the Chinese junk like you find on Temu, the enshitification has well and truly sunk in.
I always paste products I find right back into Google and more often than not find them cheaper elsewhere
I guess people just buy different stuff and have different experiences then.
The last physical thing I bought on Amazon was a Brita glass carafe.
44.99€
The cheapest I can find elsewhere is 49.9O€ with 4.99€ of shipping.
Otherwise it's mostly 54.99€ and it's even 59.90€ on Brita's own store.
The other physical stuff in my order history of the last three months are orders made for relatives because they found that it was cheaper on Amazon and wanted to take advantage of my Premium subscription.
It's probably within an order of magnitude but it's really just hobbyists, casuals and indies using it.
If you compare it to React Native there probably are more Flutter apps published but if you drill down into the top 1000 on each app store you would be lucky to find more than a few in most countries using Flutter whereas React Native definitely makes up more than 10%, maybe as high as 30% of non-game apps. I know on my phone I have zero Flutter based apps installed and almost 20% use React Native in some way.
Source: I'm an app developer so I keep an eye on these things.
Bolt Food is on the showcase page, not Bolt itself, which would be odd not to add both if indeed they were both RN, so seems like one is RN and the other is not, which is basically what the above commenter was saying initially. None of what you said really invalidates their point, because again if you search for RN jobs for Bolt, why would you not also assume it's for the one on the showcase, ie, Bolt Food? Bolt is the company name after all, not just the app name.
You were right. After your comment, I went back to my friend at Bolt and asked again. Bolt Food is on RN, Bolt is native. The conversation we had about Flutter back then was about his other project and not Bolt Food.
