Practical applications for LLMs such as?

Translation and voice-to-text (and vice versa) applications to name a couple.

Personally, I have been using LLMs to help me code. They are not perfect, occasionally generating nonsense, and some are downright awful (looking at you, VSCode Copilot). But when they get it right, they saved me so much time.

I know LLMs are associated with tech oligarchs currently, but to dismiss all LLMs as ~~useless~~ impractical is downright unfair.

I was hoping the article would tell us more about the technique he developed.

The model I implemented can be used for other time domain studies in astronomy, and potentially anything else that comes in a temporal format

All I gathered from it is that it is a time-series model.

TLDR: it doesn't make (or save) money for companies in the short-term.
