I bet they are training their internal models on the data. Bet the real reason they are not training open source models on that data is because of fears of knowledge distillation, somebody else could distill LLaMa into other models. Once th

I think assembly theory is most useful to define a spectrum of complexity. Sure, a refrigerator requires intelligence, whereas loose carbon atoms do not. What about everything in between? Methane? Complex hydrocarbons? Pointy sticks? Things

Would that help at this point? Or has the culture fundamentally been changed?

I think the raw text inside Facebook groups is at least as valuable as Reddit data. Even if demographics data is restricted under European law, the raw text of people interacting is quite valuable.

Skimming through it I was confused. - No homegrown semiconductor industry: isn’t the recent hand-wringing over the new Huawei chips proof of the opposite? - No interest in training LLMs? Is that true? I thought Baidu was already on it? In f

What is the expected dealmaking rate for these folks? Her manager did not express dissatisfaction with her performance. She said she was ramping up for three months and properly working for one month, how many deals are they supposed to mak

Nah, if it ever starts to look like NYT might win, MSFT will just do a hostile takeover. Market cap of NYTimes is 8B, OpenAI is 80B, MSFT is 2.7T, you do the math.

I also discovered outdoor calisthenics over the pandemic. Massive upgrade in every way :)

Yeah the signup can be rough. I remember they insist on offering you a “free session” with a trainer—it’s a trap, one must adamantly decline it, insist on just wanting a basic subscription. They’ll want to ask you lots of questions to “try

The ones I have tried were mild, very creamy, like a light and mildly fruity yogurt.
