Thanks for sharing. Have you prodded the model with various inputs and written an article that show various output examples? I'd love to get an idea of what sort of "end product" 4x4090s is capable of producing.

I'm not sure what it's called (abstraction vs. indirection) but I dislike when everything needs a class/object with some odd combination of curried functions. Some programming languages force this on you more than others I th

Using EEG to predict thought is like looking at the clouds in Mumbai to predict the clouds in Austin. The electrical signal from individual neurons are lost in a sea of large-scale oscillations, which are further blurred by the layers of bo

Very excited to see what Sam & Greg are up to in the coming months! Guys like this don't just run away with their tails between their legs. They will be back.

Agree, moving the weights inefficiently will end up working the muscles you don't necessarily target in your main workout. It's less efficient, but probably gives a (very slightly) more well-rounded workout. If you're pressed

Deep fakes were always a huge concern for me in AI. That's just one way AI can be weaponized, and this example is very clear on the damage caused. Thankfully Twitter quickly corrects the issue, but sadly only because it became viral. S

Neat and probably works on most dishwasher models, but not enough temperature precision for my comfort level. I wouldn't trust it. Rather just pan fry or bake myself a salmon. I don't have a sous vide, but I imagine this is not a

Engineer who implements correct, comprehensible code but doesn't manage ticket statuses is more valuable than one who manages ticket statuses but scatters the codebase with technical debt and confusing abstractions/code. If "

Vindicated and excited. Gradient descent is likely not enough. I love it when we get closer to something but are still missing the answer. I would be very happy if "add more parameters and compute" isn't enough to get us to A

That's not how it goes down in practice, where a Chief Diversity Officer's job is to control diversity, rather than to let it flourish. The only "rules and arrangements" that trickle down from the top are the biases, a

Having a Chief Diversity Officer to fix a lack of diversity in my mind is no different than having a Chief Culture Officer to fix a poor company culture. Those sorts of problems can only be solved as the collective sum of every individual e

1. Does Google inform you that you have asked a bad or unproductive question? 2. Does Google guarantee the links it provides you with contain high quality and relevant information? 3. Does Google ensure that the #1 link contains the corre

This is a great way to formulate the difference. In my mind, Google does search, which is not the same as synthesis. ChatGPT is a synthesis engine. I think there is room for engines like ChatGPT to also return links to the training document

The key thing to understand about Google (the search product) is that it does search somewhat well but it is extremely bad at synthesis. When it comes to big data, synthesis is just as important as search. The UX with traditional 2000-era s

by anonytrary 4y ago
I don't think anyone who has played enough with ChatGPT is championing the notion that ChatGPT itself will replace Google. They are more so steel-manning the argument that Google might not be the best interface for search.

This is why I sleep with a box fan on low at night. Does wonders for sleep and tranquility... People tend to lump all sorts of noise into "white" noise, including fans, but fans are much, much closer to the more tolerable brown no

I'd wager that 90%+ of "tech" companies are hiring software engineers to "solve" technical problems that have already been solved in order to solve business problems that have not yet been solved. Very rarely do you

This is a simplistic reduction of what many senior programmers do. In my experience these so-called "jiggle programmers" are ones who actually ship code and meet business needs. Sometimes that's what we're looking for. W

Honestly reading the title, I assumed the article would argue the exact opposite since that's already one of the most authoritarian things Twitter et al. is doing right now.

Unsound business models can only exist for so long -- are all restaurants closing, or just those with extremely small operating margins? If a restaurant is operating on such small margins that they can't raise wages to keep their bus

Free market at work: 1. Restaurant workers quit 2. Restaurants raise wages 3. Restaurants get workers back Minimum wage seems to be out of this equation. Natural market dynamics will self-correct and the wages will naturally rise
