I find it fascinating. Jet engine combustion isn’t what you’re mostly hearing near an airport, when it’s really annoying. It’s mostly the aerodynamic pressures coming from the flaps, the landing gear, and the angle into the airflow of the c

You can know that someone has built a brand when I didn't have to check that this was Jeff! However, I also saw his youtube video about it over a week ago. Given his progress and dedication, I fully expect a stack of A100's "

It seems pretty transparent, as I think you might be implying in part, that attempting to leap-frog without directly copying training data or model weights is a temporary optimization for “bootstrapping” teams. I see this pretty directly in

Wouldn’t you say that this is how evolution and the spread of information works, in a system that has the spark of some life chemistry? Of course… The hole in that theory is that evolution never found the wheel. The steel man in that theory

Guys. You got my joke (y) ;)

Maybe it makes me weird, but the idea of being determined, but still having to follow those emotional and cognitive tasks to moral conclusions is some kind of “work” we still have to do, to get good outcomes. That’s still the hole in my the

Not that I disagree. It just seems like some of society’s reaction is to slow down on researching the very question.

We just can’t accept that we might solve ourselves. People are understandably desperate to understand their experiences as more than an encoding of a thing that might be explained. And all of our surprising wins and awful mistakes had expla

I can’t really argue with that, good line of thought. See, my reaction has been, “perhaps our reasoning and actions are pretty much just a biologically-encoded statistical model too, it just doesn’t _feel_ that way because of some other fac

That example is wild. But I’m still pretty awed by the fact that we make similar verbal mistakes. The temporal reasoning in these models is getting better than me. As a non-AI model, I notice this every single morning while I have my covefe

This will be really useful for me to stay focused on learning PHP 3, and how to make a visitor spinner <img tag with a counter.cgi, and maybe even a few java applets with my spare cycles! (Nah, I see how clever this is :p Nice work!)

Well then. You haven’t read the REAL version ;) (The above has been light-hearted gesturing to a story about naming things, and does not constitute actual theology. Please consult your local serious person for further commentary; suggestion

Here’s one for ya. The very first thing ever named in [one biblical version of] history was “apple.” Unlike other disputes that people claim are ancient… the Apple dispute is still being fought, from Newton to the Beatles to genetically pur

I know this doesn’t apply to now concerns. But hasn’t everyone already pretty much vacuumed up our code…? And in a few years, we’ll kinda be like the guys who optimized assembly code (leading to optimizing compilers), printed BASIC out in

A TPS report, but I guess that would only work if there were many distributed copies.

That was the era when my systems felt “most stable.” Ok, I was also slipstreaming my installation CD-Rs and really putting time into it. Yet. The things that used the most memory and power were probably flash player and counterstrike. Those

Yep. My problem with a managed cloud is that kubernetes drivers are vendor specific. I hit this landmine too when the ingress I was using got a breaking update (as far as I could tell). Still worked on my test cluster. It was a throw away s

Yep. Yep. and Yeah… I didn’t quite succeed at making that sound like I was still a fan. I’d still work on these things given an opportunity. For sure. I guess around the time some of these crunchtimes have been reported, I was in some other

You are right, and expecting the first launch of a rocket platform to be anything but a bomb is a little unrealistic. But wouldn’t it be amazing if it did make max Q, then coast, then ORBIT on the first try? It’s never happened before. But

A real-life reusable rocket that lands back on the pad was an exciting project to be a part of, no matter if you were doing it in a virtual sweatshop. I could see being part of that ultimate goal as being a motivation to work for the alien

In the context, a new team had been organized to convert a legacy product *from PHP to a new containerized python stack. It was a good idea, but it turned out that there was so much friction with the business requirements we had to keep liv

Well. It’s a good joke because it makes us wonder if the latest innovation is actually the best tool. Keep ya on your toes a bit. I’ve seen a project revert from python to php. That would sound like a joke to me if I didn’t know why they di

I am using it in exactly the same way. I have access to ideas and code that I never would have tried before. These other well-documented experiences that sound super perfect don’t match mine, though I’m a fan! Here’s how it goes for me. I a

Sometimes I feel like all we’re saying is that we’re surprised that all of our capabilities might just be a statistical model. From everything we do know, what else would it be? The arrogance of consciousness is our blind-spot sometimes. Ev

For reasons of experience, all I ever want from a system is that it’s reproducible. I had a vanity website running k8s in a managed cloud. I thought I was backed up by my provider and original ansible deployment, which was of course develop

Great name! They used to say that “naming things is the hardest problem in computer science,” but now that we’ve settled on the Llamas sketch and other woolen domesticated quadrupeds for puns… I believe we have a closed-form solution. I cal

One of the things I hadn’t considered in the beginning is that it is also a large conversion of resources and power into computation and heat. Fundamentally, that’s a kind of transfer of wealth in and of itself. My favorite examples were pe

It gives me pause to realize that the GOOG has been my internet, my video clips, my wallet, my phone, my operating system, my cable TV alternative that costs arguably more— and now it finally wants to commit to our eternal friendship! I’m a

They even capitalize the R like LoRa, but I don’t think we’ll be running this model on an ESP32 to much profit. Perhaps someone will release a llama I can run at home… how about “llama-homekit”? ;)

This is respectable, and how I use it. But I do think parent has a point too. There is a goldrush for the best large language model, and the companies with the resources don’t have a more appropriate product to create with it. I share the c
