In the future you can use a vector embedding database to pull relevant bits of documentation from version specific documentation. With GPT4's 8k context it should be enough to get most things in there

The irony is Karpathy presents the limit/epsilon definition of derivatives in the first half hour (quite well IMO and he never actually says “epsilon”) which is very much a nuts and bolts kind of explanation in calculus. That said, whe

Resilience and healthy coping mechanisms are orthogonal factors. Someone who is resilient and optimistic is far more likely to do well regardless of their attractiveness because they’ll be able to adopt an IDGAF stance, as you say, to compe

Same with the Aztecs of Tenochtitlan, who kept meticulous bureaucratic records. We know quite a bit about them thanks to the friars who got to see a lot of the records while Cortes' expedition were guests (/captors) of Montezuma

Why not just eliminate the middle man and call it simulated intelligence? That at least implies that there are different levels of fidelity as quantified by number of parameters and training data set size.

It's a wonderful peak into how languages might have evolved in the past. One day a bard is passing through some village or other and, having recently traveled to the far east, tells stories of the reclusive hikikomori of Japan. A young

It's way too early to tell. I'm betting that projects will be able to fine tune LLMs against their code bases and documentation, making it easier to adopt new open source projects because mini-GPTs will help new users get set up

If the AI could extract advice to give people from his life experience, wouldn’t that be an advanced enough AGI not to need his personal experience to begin with? It’d just analyze the inputs and dispense personalized wisdom.

ChatGPT’s “voice” changes dramatically in diction and prose when you ask it to generate text in the style of a popular author like Hunter S Thompson, Charles Bukowski, or Terry Pratchett. You can even ask it to generate text in the style of

The oldest homo sapien fossil is about 300,000 years old. 3 million years ago would still be in the latter half of the reign of the Australopithecus genus. Homo habilis hadn't even appeared yet to kick off our genus.
