This integration is way more limited and frictioned. Whereas with search Apple's fully outsourced and queries go straight to your 3rd-party default, Siri escalates to GPT only for certain queries and with one-off permissions. They seem

The trendline is definitely toward increasing dynamic routing, but I suspect it's more so that MoE/MoD/MoDE enable models to embed additional facts with less superposition within their weights than enable deeper reasoning. In

I think it's reasonable as an early-ish stage startup to say to a candidate that ~"eventually, with scale, there will be cool and impactful ML opportunities here" as long as you're realistic and upfront about the facts t

Seems like permanent remote-optional is rapidly becoming the competitive equilibrium in tech. As tooling improves, there is some point at which gains from expanded recruiting pool + real estate savings outweigh coordination/culture cos

Approximately once per week I observe a comment on HN saying approximately "search doesn't work anymore." Why is this? Why do I only observe such complaints here?

+1 As with so many things, it seems like incentives are at the root of this problem: manufacturers want to sell more foods, and adding sugar (whose addictive properties are likely to increase consumption x retention) is an easy tactic to pu

Sure, not releasing the full trained model probably delays it, but sooner or later a bad actor will do their own scraping and train their own model and share it around and the genie will be out of the bottle. Then what? I think we need to b

My biggest criticisms of Google News are: 1) low signal-to-noise ratio - i.e., lots of duplicative stories, publishers are commoditized, and there are no mechanisms to distinguish (and reward!) high quality content 2) paywalls and/or

I find the ethical boundary between colorizing old footage and 'deepfakes' to be fascinating to consider. The former is celebrated here while simultaneously the latter is an object of increasing apprehension, abhorrence, and calls

I don't think there's any cause to abandon p-values and NHST if you're running experiments with high power and intelligent, deliberate priors. With power = 0.8 and p(h1) = 0.6, p(h0 | p < 0.05) = 0.04. Even if power = 0.8
