Fair point. Here is some data on the fraction of caloric intake: * During August 2021–August 2023, the mean percentage of total calories consumed from ultra-processed foods among those age 1 year and older was 55.0%. * Youth ages 1–18 year

But how do you define, or indeed assess, novelty? It's not that difficult to take an existing mature codebase and morph it such that it looks quite different but is functionally unchanged. This is a very different task than building so

To clear up potential confusion, you seem to be talking about the Gemini app ( https://gemini.google.com ), the chat app formerly known as Bard. The article is about AI Overviews, a feature of Google Search (the LLM-generated box

When I lived in London, I once came across a criminal operation that was producing fake documents, in what looked like substantial quantities. British & foreign driving licences, National Insurance cards, passports, ID cards etc. Not

If one goal is to reduce the variance of output, couldn't this be done by controlling the decoding temperature? Another related technique is constrained decoding, whether the LLM sampler only considers tokens allowed by a certain forma

This is an area I'm very interested in. Do you have a particular application in mind? (I'm guessing the recipe example is just illustrate the general principle.)

I think the GP's point is that this requires a 12V-capable USB power supply. I have converted pretty much everything I have to USB-C, from toothbrushes to old laptops, and am very happy with the results. My solution is to only own hig

I think this simply suggests the same (or very similar) training corpora.

Not the GP, but I have a TCL 65C845. I've removed all the crap from it and installed a third-party launcher. I LOVE the result, both in terms of picture quality and usability. The UI is clean, snappy, functional and there's zer

In investment banking, VP is not a senior title (speaking from personal experience :)). The exact level hierarchy varies from bank to bank, but typically runs something like Analyst - Associate - (Associate VP) - VP - Director/Executiv

I just finished the audiobook. Didn't have any particular expectations but couldn't put it down (so to speak). The audiobook is narrated by the author, which adds an extra dimension to the story. Would highly recommend.

The study you referred to sounded super interesting, so I looked it up to read later. To save others a search, here is a blog post and the paper: https://metr.org/blog/2025-07-10-early-2025-ai-experienced-o... https:&

Managers with fewer than three direct reports were either let go or forced to find new roles (typically as individual contributors, given the overall push to have fewer layers of management).

FWIW I was L5 manager (on the SWE ladder) in two PAs. The L6 requirement did exist but in my experience was quite soft. All that my management had to do was justify to the VP that I was capable of doing the job and would soon be ready for

Thanks for mentioning scarf seams. They seem like a very neat development that I didn't know about. This was an interesting read: https://www.printables.com/model/783313-better-seams-an-orca...

Some possibilities that come to mind: 1. not care about seam placement; or 2. place seams manually in the slicer; or 3. add a tiny V-shaped notch specifically for the slicer to put the seam there.

Would you mind expanding on what you mean by this? I'm struggling to follow. Thanks.

I still have the Cog DVD lying around somewhere! Also owned that exact Accord. Had no end of reliability problems with it (which were also quite expensive to repair).

Am I understanding it correctly that the gist of your argument is that OpenAI, Google etc have run out of available data to train LLMs? What's your estimate for how many tokens that represents?

Oh yeah, that old chestnut. Thanks for pointing out. Fixed.

If true, does this imply the end of the scaling laws? I'm guessing all these players were expecting a certain level of model improvement for their compute budget. If they're now disappointed, this suggests their estimates were off

My math is a bit different. Assuming a 20 Cal/hr difference, a 40 hr working week, 52 weeks/year, 7700 Cal per kg of weight loss: 20*40*52/7700=5.4 kg/year Surprisingly large. Did I mess something up?

I guess that depends on how this whole thing plays out over the long run.
