I was going to say, AI has really enabled my hardware projects recently. I've found incorrect output is less common with the newest models - and they're capable of drawing decent diagrams too which can really help me sanity check

The Physiology of Climbing. I can mail you a free copy once I get back home this weekend - I’d love any feedback! To be clear, I aimed to avoid prescribing certain routines through most of the book. I wanted to basically provide a knowledge

Shameless self promotion but this is exactly how I ended up writing a book on strength training for climbing, just pursuing every rabbit hole I could. I was ready to self publish but found a publisher who was interested. I had to make some

The title seems a bit hyperbolic compared to the article. It does briefly mention cardiovascular risk, but I was able to immediately find a meta-analysis showing no correlation. If the gripe is with processed foods containing protein, then

Really appreciate you sharing your perspective. I recently wrote a book as a passion project and have been sitting anxiously on a contract. I'm not concerned about the money (I don't think my book will be a huge thing). My main mo

Not published yet sadly. I'm close to signing a contract with a publisher that would see it get released in the summer. I've contemplated self-publishing though so it can see the light of day sooner

Yeah, I think the least controversial takeaway is that you can afford to have a large protein shake immediately after workout. I personally don't think you need to. But this study and some others indicate that muscle responds best to

Wow, I've only read the abstract so far but this basically goes against all conventional research on this topic AFAIK. I read probably ~50 papers on this topic (maximal protein dosing) and emailed a few researchers about it as I was wr

That's not what it means. This is a style of writing common in some academic fields where when they measure multiple qualities, they'll present them in the abstract next to each other in parentheses rather than repeat full sentenc

I haven't read the paper beyond this one section - but I plugged this question into GPT-4 and got a similar response. However, if I used military time (replacing noon with 12:00 as well), then GPT does get it right. Granted, it still h

Embarrassing / dumb q, but how do you actually get to talking with them in a meaningful way? I can imagine with repeats, it's easier to build up rapport, but I don't think I've ever hit it off so strongly with someone at

Thank you for articulating this. I remember similar problems and arguments arising after RNNs and CNNs became massively successful. People argued that training larger models would be infeasible for several reasons that all were made moot by

I shared the code in a comment below ( https://github.com/purpleladydragons/ai-sanity ) but - scraping is relatively dumb and straightforward. I use playwright to login and just scroll my timeline for the first 100 tweet

Sure thing - but just FYI I really only care about AI tweets in my timeline, so YMMV if you want it to summarize your timeline in general. I tried a generic "summarize my timeline" approach before and it didn't work well. Fil

I’ve been fiddling with midjourney recently. There’s definitely a learning curve to it, but ironically gpt has been helpful for generating prompts. I expect the edge that artists have in this regard to erode further with time

If you are a manager, this will output your productivity ten fold on the upcoming years. Now you don’t need to hire senior devs and can just build the product of your dreams with very limited capital. If you are a CTO, this will output your

FYI these are links to an interview with Ackman from March 2020 when covid was starting. He claimed "hell is coming" amid the initial 20 - 30% decline, right before the sharp bounce up. So essentially, maybe don't over-index

I'll offer some different advice from all the "quit" people (9 comments so far and all advise quitting). My first job out of school was at a really top-notch place. I grew a lot early on but growth started to slow a bit alrea

Yes, there's a lot of hype around AI right now, and yeah sure it looks like some crypto grifters rotated into AI - but overall, I really don't get how people can look at all the progress and think there isn't something import

GPT has been great for exploring new frameworks too. Copilot is amazing when I know what roughly what I'm doing, but GPT is like personalized framework / API documentation at times

I'm pretty sure the GPT model is huge and does not fit on any conventional GPU. Even if they open-sourced the weights, I don't think most people would be running it at home. Also regarding the text limits, AFAIK, there's just

Similar situation as you. I stopped keeping up around 2015ish. I just read Francois Chollet's Deep Learning with Python and found it to be a fantastic high level overview of all the recent progress. There's some code, but not a lo
