I've worked with LLM's for the better part of the last couple of years, including on evals, but I still don't understand a lot of what's being suggested. What exactly is a "custom annotation tool", for annotati

I actually think major components supporting consciousness are already present in LLMs, and some of the 'requirements' like "perceiving time fluidly" are anthropomorphism: perception of time is streams of discrete signal

We have 4 kids and I relate to them really well I think, not to the level where I’m engrossed in descriptions of the latest Roblox game but they’re just younger humans, not some alien species… I’m in my mid 40’s and our youngest is 10. I al

Interesting design choice, and makes me think of "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Kahneman. (I thought of it quickly, not slowly, so the comparison may only be surface deep.)

This aligns with my experience (specifically with langgraph). I actually find it a depressing sign of the times that your prototype was in Java and the "production" version is going to be in python. My experience with langgraph

Yeah I recall reading this works in industrial contexts too (lots of small optimisations accumulating into significant gains).

This is an incredibly scummy and devious implementation of user tracking. I think META shareholders should hold onto their hats with this one. @dang maybe add a $ to the 32B? I see B so often with AI Models that I think the currency symbol

It's not the same though: * when used domestically, it's under the Minister of Justice and Security * there's also no Dutch equivalent of the U.S. presidency with unilateral executive control over the military I'd argue

IME picking a good startup is extremely difficult, because even the ones with PMF and growing customers can so easily fail at execution: the human factors are so huge there. You can definitely narrow the field (use common sense: evaluate th

Possibly related to that period having two world wars and the Cold War? If I look a lot of the inventions in that timeline, they're related to or directly funded by warfare. Consider radio and radar, rocketry, space flight, the Interne

Do you mean AWS? They're competing with half a dozen or more hyperscalers now. Cloud infrastructure components are so heavily commoditized now, many of them have open source solutions with compatible API's. (Think Minio)

To try and give examples: an autonomous agent that can integrate with github, read issues, then make pull requests against those issues is a step (or maybe two) above an LLM API (cucumber seller). It doesn't take much more of a stretch

Haha, yes, I used to work with PHP, and we would occasionally use Notepad++ or something like it to live edit files on the servers. I also don't endorse this way of doing things, but there's no faster way to hotfix something.
