He may not be a brilliant researcher, but he is a brilliant teacher. I am glad he is joining Anthropic so he can stay up to date with the next round of things that he will teach :)

Well whatever debt they took on to refill it would have been paid off quickly. Buy at $60, start a war with Iran, sell at the new price, profit. I guess the reason they didn’t do this is they thought Iran would fold quickly and oil would be

It’s interesting to me that it says that in some versions of second brain: “Second brain grows, but first brain doesn’t get smarter.” Something I remember Tiago Forte said, which turned me off of his partículas brand of a second brain, is t

It’s quite common these days to treat an LLM as a policy in the sense that it takes as a “state” the previous context, and its task is to choose a continuation, as an “action”. It gets a “reward” from a reward model that was trained on huma

The Twitter post doesn’t even document some of the most psychotic things that are happening.

This is not about banning cheating, it’s about banning inaccurate information.

I think you’ve got it backwards. MIT used to be brain-draining China, India, Iran, Europe, etc into schools like MIT. The lower numbers mean this is happening less. There are likely multiple factors: becoming less attractive, their domestic

I read this as saying that MIT is becoming less competitive? Means if you just finished your BS, applying to a PhD program at MIT may be a 20% better bet than before, especially with the job market in its current condition…

i think the best in this case is to be solidly in the middle of the pack. don't want to be near the bottom, don't want to be a tall poppy when the backlash comes

lol what? Are you seriously suggesting the miseries and abuses of the gig economy are a suitable comparison for the future of displaced SWEs?

Not sure about other tech cos, I think Meta and Amazon currently do stack ranking. It seems to be a thing that comes and goes as the job market is weaker or stronger

> the difference between 200k/year and 800k/year didn't feel much day to day (other than the ability to buy a house or something, and feel safe with a retirement nest egg) I can’t believe I read this sentence, lol. 800k i

I will brave the downvotes and say: I don’t like Costco. It’s not out of snobbishness, their quality is excellent at excellent prices. My problem is that I find I spend more at Costco than at conventional grocery stores like Trader Joe’s. T

I really liked Calvin Lou’s tutorial. It’s quite old at this point and probably not up to date, but I felt it was awesome for understanding the concepts

What’s the endgame here? - just better ad targeting? (lol if so) - policing accounts for various possible infractions? - training data for ML models?

The thing that I find difficult about adjusting to AI tools is the roulette-like nature. When they produce correct output, they produce it much faster than I could have, and I show up to meetings with huge amounts of results. When the AI to

I don’t understand, and I hope it’s just bad writing. Certainly you can build a branch of mathematics without an axiom of infinity, and that’s fine, it’s math over finite sets. However, an axiom of infinity is independent, it doesn’t contr

The best way to not be in a digital cage is to opt out of the current digital products. Would that be such a bad thing? Frankly I would welcome a world in which kids are not using Instagram or TikTok. They don’t have to live in a cage if we

Ok but: - why now? What has changed that made the lack of limits more attractive than it used to be? - despite no limits, the strait is blocked, so they still can’t sell anything?

by Ifkaluva 6mo ago
Can somebody knowledgeable help me understand why this is in the interests of the UAE? Also, seems like a moot point since the strait is closed. Why do they think it’s in their best interests, and why now?

What are you talking about? Dude is literally describing a break, just not a type of break that feeds the attention economy. Are you opposed to that?

Right :) I was trying to write the bleakest possible version, and in the bleakest, your own unpublished idea is not actually original, it’s just a failure of the system to record negative results.

by Ifkaluva 6mo ago
I think it’s the opposite—you start out bright eyed and busy tailed thinking you will do something big over the next five years… You find out your idea has been tried, five different ways, all of them failed. Two of your follow up ideas wer
