You don't need Max Verstappen to drive your armored truck, but you sure do need Steph Curry to sell basketball tickets. The level of competition between companies--the level of talent needed to win--is what drives the salaries.

Interest rates have many 2nd order effects, including VCs getting more funding from their LPs, and future-looking stocks becoming a more appealing investment class. Its not just about loans.

They're claiming that the runtime will figure it out for you. It wouldn't be too surprising if this is the sort of thing that an optimizing compiler or query planner could do better than a human. If not, you're probably at th

Doesn't MCTS imply that you'd have to generate a whole tree of tokens? Instead of maybe a 200 token response, you'd have to generate several thousand tokens as you explore the tree?

This looks like a llama2 finetune, so the dataset (inclusive of llama2) isn't fully open as claimed, and I'd still have to accept the Facebook and possibly OpenAI licenses. Let alone that clearly the base model was built on non-so

My estimate is that a typical staff engineer who'd been at OpenAI for 2+ years could have sold $8 million of stock next month. I'd be pissed too.

There's much I don't love about Rust, but I feel golang could steal the ? operator and keep the spirit of go. Effectively, instead of result, err := doSomething() if err != nil { return nil, err } you&#x2

Do you think you're smarter than the rest of the team combined? You can't make the "correct" decision by yourself. And then everything gets more complicated.

Something like https://tilt.dev/ where you spin up a subset of the service graph in a cloud environment that hot-reloads based on local edits.

There's a saying: closer to the ceiling is closer to the door. The higher up you get, the more likely that you're blamable for problems, and the less likely that you are repurposeable for some other project.

What if replica mom was in your life for ten years before someone told you? I suspect you'd have a brief moment of shock and betrayal, and a few days/weeks later continue on as if nothing happened. (at least with respect to love

CGI was the OG serverless, because it was a process-per-request model until e.g. fastcgi came along. Put scripts on an S3 backed filesystem, and as you grow, wrap them in a container, then an auto-scaling group. It might even work today! I

Yup. Also tickles me that I might have had better equipment than this team, though we still had to source sample carriers from McDonalds. The multi-million-dollar measurement apparatus required us to put samples in disposable tubes that co

Some of it, yes. But in practice, you want to fix a bug in chinese tokenization, or OpenAI releases the next version of its embeddings, or you want to add a few synonyms, or change the aggressiveness of the stemmer. Then you have to rewrite

One of the many problems with search inside Postgres is that search is very CPU-heavy (and starting to become GPU-heavy). Ideally, you'd like to reserve CPU in your database for transactional updates to your core data model. I've

There's no more text to train on. Also, amazingly, transfer learning works better than anyone could have hoped! As an analogy, imagine that you could show that football players learned musical instruments 50% quicker than non-athletes

It's intentionally using the naive 2^N solution to stress test lots of tiny function calls.
