Related story, while applying a firmware update to my Kawai CA49 piano, I bricked it due to flashing the wrong file (The process was broken, and I got desperate and tried something stupid, which bricked the piano). Claude walked me through

If you have independent copies of the network learning gradients, then you’re effectively making the batch size smaller— unless you’re doing an all collect and making them sync, in which case there’s a lot of overhead When you take a batch

I want to also mention that the previous model was 3.7. 3.7 to 4 is not an entire increment, it’s theoretically the same as 3 -> 3.3, which is actually modest compared to the capability jump I’ve observed. I do think Anthropic wants more

He's not saying that all non fiction is bad, just that the incentives are misaligned, and to be fair at least in my experience, there are a lot of popular non-fiction books where each chapter is repetitive, and I feel the whole thing c

Wow, you can refocus the direction after the audio is recorded! This would be cool to mix with VR, so you could hear different conversations as you move around a virtual room

I assume it’s easier to find an engineer who went to engineering school to learn how to build airplanes that are safe than it is to find an MBA who went to business school to learn how to build planes that are safe. (It’s not about the know

I think planes can still fly with the rudder loose? If the bolt falls out and it loses control, wind will push it into the neutral position and then flying will still be possible with other control surfaces? But I guess if the pilots don&#x

If we have intelligent AI that can automate programming, then making really good robots will not be a problem. While not trivial, actuators and power systems are not the reason why we don’t have robots that can do all manual labor for us. S

Recommend passing the speech-to-text narration through a round of GPT4 API to correct for any transcription errors (use some prompt giving context that it's speech to text)

Suggests there's other variables involved, like time of day taken, other supplements taken simultaneously, metabolic processes, diet, and maybe even the placebo effect.

Well, assuming they likely have some PFAS already in their system, you might just be giving them blood with the same concentration of PFAS that they already have.

They need to be dimensioned and finished quite accurately. Most plywood has a slight bend to it. At the speeds and accelerations needed to be competitive, any imperfection would mean your car will fly off the track or hit a wall.

Do founders return the salary they pay themselves if their company doesn’t double in size? The answer is no, so I don’t see why software engineers should be held to higher standards.

When you change a product page, you lose all reviews, but you get a "New Product" link on the old page to link to the new one, giving you exposure. Amazon can make the "New Product" show up for queries for the older one,

At the end of the day, you're still responsible for reading the email before you send it. I don't think it matters how the email was written. I think the final content matters more. There's many ways to prompt an AI, both car

I think for academic conferences, they typically choose a venue that changes every year. This could be used to aid in selecting a venue.

Theoretically, one could compile whisper.cpp to run in the browser using emscripten, maybe made faster with webgl... I think this would be quite a heavy page load time for a website, but if the model file gets cached, and the user has a dec

Is it extra protein, if they lived only off the rice in the bag? Presumably all the protein inside of them came from rice that would have otherwise been there. I guess it helps digest and synthesize some of the proteins for you.

I think there's a lot of hate in the comments, and while I agree (stop hijacking my scrollbar), I'd like to inject some constructive positivity: 1. They put the disclaimer right in their motto. Get smooth or die trying. They'

I think it's actually normal for teams to have duplicate functionality. The requirements are usually never actually identical and when you try to merge them it results in services with complicated configuration that have N^2 edge cases

I'm not anti-connectionist, but if I were to put myself in their shoes, I'd respond by pointing out that in E=MC^2, C is a value which directly correlates with empirical results. If all of humanity were to suddenly disappear, a fu

I just did the math, and it looks like this is correct! Assuming 2.5mm per month (quick google search), that's 2.5e+7 angstrom/month Divide by the number of seconds in a month (30 * 24 * 3600) and you get about 10 angstroms per se

It seems like this only affects areas where tech workers make up a lot of the population, like the bay area. Also, it assumes that non-tech workers won't just move to cheaper areas.

It's good enough that I wouldn't really call it a code generator, and I wouldn't put it in a category with other tools due to the performance different from anything else like it. Often, it creates code that follows the style

The notion of a "deep enough stack to keep the pointers to those context handy" depends on the complexity of what you're learning. If the task at hand has a large enough memory demand, then you might find yourself "swapp

Yeah but it has the advantage of everything being 100% sustainable from the beginning. All water and oxygen will need to be recycled, etc.

You're not forced to use your cellphone. But society might hypothetically get to a point where it's extremely inconvenient not to.
