Human-driven research is also brute-force but with a more efficient search strategy. One can think of a parameter that represents research-search-space-navigation efficiency. RL-trained agents will inevitably optimize for that parameter. I

I feel like the dropping cost of using AI doesn't tell the full story - I feel like I'm using agents easily a hundred to two hundred times more than I used chat interfaces. The build-out seems entirely reasonable if we believe tha

Probably not, they’re like four years old and they’re 2500 people at the company. My guess is that there are but a handful of PMs.

100% All of the people who are floored by AI capabilities right now are software engineers, and everyone who's extremely skeptical basically has any other office job. On investigating their primary AI interaction surface, it's Mic

Not at all, the limitation is software to get the model on the chip and executing correctly. My bet is that they had a FDE who specializes in the chip implement Spark’s architecture on device.

I think it's a beta so they're trying to figure out pricing by deploying it.

I grew up on a rural farm in California with a dial-up connection that significantly hampered my ability to participate in the internet as a teenager. I got Starlink installed at my parents' house about five years ago, and it's re

Calling AI an unproven market is a wild statement. My mother and every employed person around me is using AI backed by Nvidia GPUs in some way or the other on a daily basis.

When you say “in” them, are you referring to their training data, or their model weights, or the infrastructure required to run them?

Isn't the struggle of sifting through a labyrinth of physical books and learning how and where to find the right answers part of the learning process? I would argue a machine that short-circuits the process of getting stuck in obtuse b

Just a moment to reflect on how much freaking leverage computers give us today - a single permission change took down half the internet. Truly crazy times.

Yes exactly, my theory is that the novelty of a new generation of LLMs’ performances tends to cause an inflation in peoples’ perceptions of the model, with a reversion to a better calibrated expectation over time. If the developer reporte

knowledge cards at the top of Google results have been around for at least 12 years, I'd interpret the LLM-based responses as an iteration of a feature that's been around for a while rather than mimicking a competitor.

Author advocates for building general purpose systems that can accomplish goals within some causal boundary given relevant constraints, versus highly deterministic logical flows that are created from priors like intuition or user research.

Thank you, that was a wild thing to learn!

> This is likely because LLMs are typically trained for only a single epoch over massive datasets, which is in contrast to the multi-hundred-epoch training regimes for which dropout was first introduced. Wait, is this true? That seems li

Au contraire, ANNs are precisely the decomposition of larger problems into smaller ones.

the point is that minimizing 4 months as an insufficient timeline along which to prove out ones ability to predict a sequence of events is dumb when the rate of progress is incredibly fast.

The idea of chatbots existed before ChatGPT, does that mean it's purely marketing hype?

I disagree that there isn't an innovation. The technology for reasoning models is the ability to do RL on verifiable tasks, with the some (as-of-yet unpublished, but well-known) search over reasoning chains, with a (presumably neural)
