Ok I was the the tech lead and a flight controller at NASA with the team that released this telemetry as part of Isslive which this api (used by ISS mimic) used - we spent a number of years educating the public about the space station prog

just like layoffs, this just part of the tech culture, as long as we reward managers with promotions for riding their teams (and no doubt I'm sure those middle managers are working their ass of too) this culture doesn't change. in

Well to state it somewhat pessimistically: 1. Thoughts about the future always reflect the anxieties and the ambitions of the present. 2. Today's world has become immersed in the dreary and often dystopian reality of that technology. T

I absolutely think this is a spot on analysis btw and ties well into my own experience with LLM based coding. However one difference between these tools and previous human developed technologies is these tools are offering direct intelligen

Well the other issue is that many of 90s nerds turned out to be just as fascistic and bullying and horribly un-empathic themselves -just look at Musk as an example. I mean not having social skills, not identifying with women or not treating

Reviewing these conversations is like listening to horse and buggy manufacturers pooh-poohing automobiles: 1. they will scare the horses. a good team of horses is no match for funky 'automobile' 2. how will they be able to deal wi

I don't think the articles point is about auto-moderation of harmful content instead its about being empathetic of the human suffering this work entails and finding ways to treat their contractors as humans instead of 'far off res

Gossip of course rises to the top I was an ISS Flight Controller for 6 years and worked in NASA mission planning and the idea that a us astronaut was “losing it in orbit and intentionally drilled a whole” is pretty ridiculous It’s obvious t

The problem with this article is that presupposes that the technology will remain the same and in its current state id agree it isn’t art - but even assuming the rate of advancement slows down, eventually it will be making Art…

I think Hoffmans path and the idea of consciousness being fundamental comes from a few conceptual Leaps - let me go through the high level of each one: 1. Current physics shows via quantum mechanics that spacetime has a definite limit in me

What’s wild to me is that Donald Hoffman is also proposing a similar foundation for his metaphysical theory of consciousness, ie that it is a fundamental property and that it exists outside of spacetime and leads via a markov chain of consc

So it’s not RAG as is currently popular -but an ML approach focused lightweight LLM framework that attempts to circumvent the over engineering of LangChain et al? I think it’s an attempt merge traditional RAG with PyTorch style The authors

What the hell does that mean fix your docs?? - companies have tons of document libraries and documentation that need sifting through and are generating more content regularly and => RAG and vector search is game changer with real value t
