his company (eagerly) enables the work ICE is doing to disappear people off the street, the genocide perpetuated by the IDF against the Palestinian populace, among other atrocities and in general is pretty open about keeping “Wesrern suprem

aren’t outputs literally conditioned on prior textual context? how is that lacking interdependence? isn’t learning the probabilistic relationships between tokens an attempt to approximate those exact semantic relationships between words?

somewhat simpler but paid (but pricey at $10 month) solution i’ll shill for is Opal. only app i’ve used that can actually lock app, set time limits, etc w a pretty great UI and config setup https://apps.apple.com/app/id

not being fair to 3d artists when i say this but the loss of american ability to produce high quality animated movies feels like it plays into our inability to build maglev trains or non-highway transit

isn’t the problem of not enough data just a problem of not having grounding in the world? world models and everything feel like they’re just dancing around the problem with thin veneers of human-in-the-loop and the verifiable domains we alr

keep an open mind esp if it challenges your biases and as you age, and sometimes it worth being “just ok” with something if it’s a group context?

yeah like another commenter said, if you can get synthetic data with some some sort of easily verifiable grounding (math, games, code) models can do very well. this is one of the underpinnings of reinforcement learning that has helped some

i don’t this article really says anything that hasn’t been already said for the past two years. “if AI actually take jobs, it will be a near-apocalyptic system shock if there aren’t news jobs to replace them”. i still think it’s at best too

those are really good points, but LLMs have really started to plateau off on their capabilities haven’t they? the improvements from gpt2 class models to 3 was much bigger then 3 to 4, which was only somewhat bigger than 4 to 5 most of the v

i like text files for day to day lists that are easily discarded. what am i trying to do for work today, who do i need to call, other reminders for longer term planning i’ve found todoist to be indispensable. UI and features haven’t changed

on paper this reduces no competition between landlords? this is collusion which sort of breaks the whole supply and demand part of the housing market also housing is a pretty necessity so the prices can keep going up and people will continu

there’s a sort of self-answering irony in having a academic paper try to answer the age old question “what exactly do you do around here?”

by ausbah 1y ago
that’s the wrong framing. simpler way is just looking at what the US doesn’t have compared to equivalently well off nations. childcare, parental leave, medical care are all things that are taken up by the comparatively larger wages US famil

this is sort of wrong though, there is a measurable increase in positive economic activity with increased density. you can increase housing in an area in a way that doesn’t mess with people’s existing home evaluations, at least in urban eno

did OP literally just post AI output covering their personal notes with no additional commentary? no reflections on if it was useful, accurate, or fair? just passing off an article that’s 99% AI slop as something insightful, amazing

there is a nonzero amount in the sphere of antivaxxers. if not for the exact reason, but because engineering types are more likely to lean libertarian or believe their position in a dominant field gives them a superiority complex over other

yeah seriously there isn’t enough housing in major cities so the little new construction that isn’t rentals has a good chance of turning into an “investment property” via someone buying the mortgage and immediately turning it into a rental

with this and the recent Windsurf “acquisition”, what’s even the draw to startups anymore? 25% base pay increase for 80% more hours (not even considering overtime) with equity that is tantamount to useless (with or without Windsurf being th
