Interesting post. Did the difference in wall clock training time take the reduction in cold start time into account? Seems like that could be a significant factor for small jobs and negligible for large ones.

Does the IRS get to decide that? Seems like something that the a judge should rule on.

Seems relatively benign, seeing as he'll continue leading design on Apple Watch for some time. Also, I had no idea that COOs did design work.

I hover somewhere between AI doomer and boomer. For a long time I thought all the economic gains and power produced by AI would be concentrated in a company like OpenAI and that the quality of our lives would hinge on decisions made by its

This is an excellent question. My very unscientific suspicion is that the decreases in average attention span and ability to concentrate zero out the theoretical possible increases in productivity that computers allow.

Definitely not the case for coding. I'm a capable senior engineer, and I know many other very experienced senior engineers who are all benefitting immensely from AI, both in the code editor and chat interfaces. My company just redid ou

New PII redaction library that's SOTA and runs locally on a variety of devices. Kind of slow when I tested on my M3 Max macbook, but works pretty well!

I don't believe they used an LLM to gather or transform information ahead of generating this map (used https://wikinearby.toolforge.org , a database of geotagged articles), but the ease of processing the necessary informatio

We've looked into this tool a couple times, haven't adopted it yet. The main issue is compatibility with prisma, which we use for defining our db's schema and automating migrations. If there were a slick integration between t

I remember hearing about Dragon when I was in elementary school. It's cool to reflect on how far things have progressed in the last decade and a half.

Mastodon is a good example. Facebook could become less opaque by revealing their decision-making process for what posts are shown/suppressed, making analyses like the one linked unnecessary. It’s a bad sign when third parties are neces

Perhaps the feminists in question believe that their voices are more likely to lead to a change in the stance of the US and the behavior of Israel than a change in the past behavior of Hamas. What Hamas _did_ was wrong. What Israel is _doin

This argument is logical and I’m glad you laid it out. Stating obvious truths is a good strategy for revealing willfully ignorant posters.

Thanks for the source. Shakir’s perspective makes sense. Stanford shouldn’t be supporting Israel’s strikes on Palestinian civilians.

If HRW has lost all credibility, then giving Meta the benefit of the doubt and ignoring this report makes sense. However, if you think there’s a chance that HRW might be telling the truth, then it’s worth examining your existing assumptions

I want to believe that the Russian economy is suffering negative effects as a result of their leaders’ decision to invade Ukraine, but the authors come off as overly politically motivated. I’m also surprised by how limited even the claimed

It was bound to happen. I think we'll have to start determining the credibility of photographic evidence from the source that claims to have captured it. Then we have to hope there's enough backlash whenever a source lies that the
