Seems very cool, but IMO you’d be better off doing an open source version and then hosted SAAS.

Nah, I don’t miss at all typing all the tests, CLIs, and APIs I’ve created hundreds of times before. I dunno if I it’s because I do ML stuff, but it’s almost all “think a lot about something, do some math, and and then type thousands of lin

I just had Claude Code finetune a reranker model to improve it significantly across a large set of evals. I chose the model to fine tune, the loss function, created the underlying training dataset for the re-ranking task, and designed the e

Attitudes like this one are why people prefer working with AI to code lol.

As a former artist, I can tell you that you will never have good or sufficient ideas for your art or writing if you don’t do your laundry and dishes. A good proxy for understanding this reality is that wealthy people who pay people to do al

The twins I have known are the same. I would assume it has something to do with a desire to differentiate themselves from one another, but they always seemed far more dissimilar in personality and affect than my siblings.

Try using the brainstorming and execute plan loops with the superpowers plugin in Claude Code. It encapsulates the spec driven development process fairly well.

Almost nothing aside from children’s books is written exclusively in hiragana or katakana. You have to also memorize the variable readings of about 2000 kanji and many texts are nearly unintelligible without them. Pretty much everyone can m

I teach and mentor lots of folks in my world. What I don’t do is feign expertise to rub shoulders with the people doing the actual work so I can soak money from rubes with ad rolls.

Dwarkesh has a CS degree, but zero academic training or real world experience in deep learning, so all of his blogging is just secondhand bullshitting to further siphon off a veneer of expertise from his podcast guests.

Japanese actually has a much smaller set of phonemes (~half as many as English), resulting in extensive homophones. When combined with its greater tendency toward ambiguity, correct use of pitch can actually have a larger impact on intellig

No, he’s an overblown hack who is pandering to the elements of his audience that would share those views about Nazism and China. Should many someday see through the veil of his bullshit or simply grow tired of his pablum, he can then pivot

To be fair, it could’ve been post-trained into the model as well…

His recent conversation with Sutton suggests otherwise. Friedman is a vapid charlatan par excellence. Dwarkesh suffers from a different problem, where, by rubbing shoulders with experts, he has come to the mistaken belief that he possesses

The solution to this if you want less specification in advance is to simply ask Codex a series of leading questions about a feature of fix. I typically start with something like “it seems like X could be improved with the addition of Y? Can

That’s how the game is played. We should be grateful for all the competition that is driving these improvements, not whinging about the realities of what companies have to do to contest each other’s position.

Makes me wonder what strings were attached to that Allen AI NSF grant. I noticed that they were suddenly using more hawkish language around China.

The granite Dockling models are unfortunately quite far below SOTA. dots-ocr and PaddleOCR were best here.

by bugglebeetle 1y ago
Looks great, but looking at the benchmark, can’t help but think about how crazy good dots-ocr is as a model. Too bad they’re not as open as the Deepseek team because its so crazy good and would love to know how it was trained.

You should be more concerned that Chinese labs can train models that are just as good for 10X less because Americans treat the USD’s status as the global reserve currency as the ultimate bitter lesson. Who needs better math and engineerin

Yeah, it’s hilarious to be having this conversation about MLEs while attributing the bad outcomes to anything other than poorly designed reward functions, i.e. management. If an engineer burned millions on failed training runs because they

Gemini just eclipsed ChatGPT to be #1 on the Apple app store for these kinds of apps. The 2.5 pro series is also good/SOTA at coding, but unfortunately poorly trained for the agentic workflows that have become predominant.

Listen not to what people say, but instead watch what they do.
