This was a very helpful explanation. I appreciate it.

Often the games I’m excited to play run like shit and have timing issues that are difficult to measure but feel wrong and diminish the nostalgia. Free time is scarce, so I’ll gladly pay a couple hundred to not have to spend time fiddling wi

Although I find it disappointing, this is the truth. It is a function of supply and demand. There is always a gating function when you have an abundance of supply; sometimes it is leetcode, sometimes it is school, take home work, resume for

This is excellent and matches with my experience, especially the part about prioritizing deterministic outputs. They are not as sexy as agentic chain of thought, but they actually work.

This is the future, I can’t wait. I’m going to encourage my daughters school to take advantage of this in addition to helping my daughter use it.

Yes. I read a study somewhere yesterday, probably on here, that ChatGPT was only right 50% of the time. That sounds bad, unless your experience is searching stack overflow or some tutorial that omits the most crucial steps, and your success

They are powered by fusion, in a sense.

I agree, I know so many people who have done similar and more challenging things. GP probably does too, but they would be smart not to open up about it. I actually went and got my college transcripts and requested my highschool ones but it’

In the first I clearly stated that I used Khan Academy as a high school drop out and it helped me get into college. You didn’t bother to read it before commenting because you were too busy dumping on something that didn’t match your bias, w

No, but I work for a company with a very unique perspective on education and merit. They are a large privately held firm that does not care about degrees (for 95% of things). When I was a year in to my career I sat down with one of our seni

I should do that. Will post it to my twitter (in my profile) if I do. Honestly i wrote as many notes as I could in a way that someone else could pick up and understand and the main thing I stuck to was never using a calculator until I absol

It's difficult to have a conversation about 'agents' because it means something different to everyone. This article attempts to provide a loose framework, which I mostly agree with, but just yesterday I was determining how we

To be fair, I am not in AI research either. Sorry if I implied that. I am on the applied side building products using GenAI, we also do some more traditional ML development but I do not spend much time there. 100% what you said about being

I think this is mostly true. IT/Software in general are a lot less focused on proxies for success than other fields, I think that is largely because it is much easier for individuals to learn skills outside of a professional setting, i

I’m curious too. I kind of get it too though, sometimes it’s surprising for me too. I may post my transcripts and khan academy badges to twitter later. My LinkedIn is pretty easy to find. I’ve still got my Home Depot aprons too. Maybe if th

Lots of people have done it. I went to college but I resent the implication that the only way to make it into one of these fields is through college. It is incredibly difficult to learn advanced math outside of an academic setting, but it i

My info is in my profile, it’s not hard to figure out who I am.

Thank you! I would literally make sure my back was to a corner so no one could see what was on my screen haha. Needless to say, I spend a lot of time on math with my oldest (who just turned four!). She does not need to be great, she just ne

The EU has a system that allows people to get an education, at their own pace, even after they have been adults for some time? My situation was not a failure of our education system. I was just not in a situation that was stable and conduci

I got into a job in corporate IT at a good company and then moved through a bunch of roles, including putting together one of our first data science/ML teams. A couple years later when I was doing product work, gpt 2 came out, so I had

Latency of search isn’t much of a concern, I was speaking to quality but did not word it well. We have just found that vector search does not play well with numbers and does not provide consistent results, so we end up needing more chunks w

by 7thpower 2y ago
I mean from a retrieval quality perspective, not a latency perspective. Search latency is not a constraint because the long pole in the tent for us is always the user facing model. We also have a lot of numbers in our customer requests, whi

That is by design, no? Sherman act does not address a lot of modern anti-trust, as you mentioned. We need new legislation. Judges can just as easily find pet causes that don’t align with your interests, I don’t think that’s the mechanism yo

I do not but my twitter handle is in my profile and I am always more than happy to hop on a call and share what I know. For reference our subject matter is engineering specs for high precision electronics manufacturing. We have ~100k produc

This is a great intro. I am amazed how many people don’t use the LLMs to analyze the questions themselves and apply filters to avoid pulling back irrelevant documents in the first place. We run as many methods as practical in parallel (sql,

I do not think people understand or appreciate what a truly fundamental shift that access to zero marginal cost instruction has been (including YouTube, etc.). It is a tool that humanity still has not figured out how to take advantage of at

I definitely had advantages in that I knew tools like Khan Academy existed, was not battling depression, and also had talked to people who I admired and saw they were not so different than me. I also had a mother who loved me and a step-fat
