Given the delivery mechanism for OpenAI, how do they actually keep it private?

That’s going beyond simple use. The two year lookback is real but nobody is going to fail a basic clearance over college pot use.

Silly and convenient. No one takes the claim that you can’t measure software productivity seriously and everyone simultaneously agrees that simple scalar metrics often fail to show the big picture in any and all disciplines. The rest is j

I was not aware that my last two companies have secretly been Intel because every one of these factors applied to them. It’s really another aspect of the innovator’s dilemma - interesting $-wise and margin-wise is so limited that they end u

Hans Moravec had a suggestion on how to do this in Mind Children: instead of examining the whole brain, you measure a layer, then replace it, layer by layer, until the last. There is never a copy and an original, it's just a ship of th

Correct for inference - the main use of the interconnect is RDMA requests between GPUs to fit models that wouldn't otherwise fit. Not really correct for training - training has a lot of all-to-all problems, so hierarchical reduction is

It's not even in the same ballpark. With excel, you are inspecting _the output_ for a specific run. There is no equivalent in modern programming.

Spreadsheets let you click any field and understand where it came from. Excel can be thought of as an amazing post-execution debugger where you can get a previous output and value for almost any piece of memory ("cell"). I would

These days, I prefer google sheets for most things spreadsheet, but Excel is far and away more capable, and after a certain level of complexity, just unbelievably fast in comparison. Complex sheets in Google Sheets get bogged down very quic

Stop doing this. You are confusing the perfectly noble aspect of calling it abuse material to make it victim centric with denying the basic purpose of the material. The people who worked hard to get it called CSAM do not deny that it’s porn

It doesn’t. You’re kind of illustrating what I’m getting at.

It’s not “ridiculously low.” Before the layoff they were 2700 people. That’s like a VP2 at most large tech companies and 1.5M total comp is spot on for that level.

The most likely explanation is that the code you are writing has low information density and is stringing things together the same way many existing apps have already done. That isn’t a judgement but trying to use the ai code completion too

I am a huge Amiga fan, but the Amiga was going nowhere and was never going to win. The OS is just as terrible as classic Windows and MacOS from a reliability standpoint; yes not using a message pump for timeslicing was a really nice propert

You can never roll your own and have a working ecosystem. This is exactly the problem.

It is clear they were in terms of starting off. But it was on a closed set - an undergrad could have coded what they showed.

They didn’t say the extent of the control and the event was engineered to lead people to conclude human involvement was minor.

Never tried it. Seems like it's vaguely hard to consume safely since it is tied to shaman woo culture overseas. Supposedly there are sessions in the bay area, but I'm not cool enough to know people who know about them, or for that

Mescaline is like the angry lover version of mushrooms. I did it once, two years ago to understand why it has been used, traditionally, as the baseline for comparison for psychedelic substances, and it was enlightening; it is certainly a ta

Same. I came to them as an older person (late 40s) who basically had only tried pot a few times prior, and nothing at all before late thirties. I don't drink. My few experiences, the first few times, over the course of a year, spread a
