From my perspective, the issue is the activists/most motivated to work in jobs focused on and implement DEI appear to judge the outcome and speed of that outcome as the only important metrics of success in any and all fields. The metho

One could argue the right with its views on abortion and religion suffers the same problem, one they've largely tackled by voter disenfranchisement and gerrymandering.

>shows that models like o1 are necessary. But HOW they are necessary is the change. They went from building blocks to stepping stones. From a business standpoint that's very damaging to OAI and other players.

Dogs are probably the best example I can think of. They learn through experience and clearly reason, but without a complex language to define abstract concepts. Its very basic reasoning, but they do learn and apply that learning. To your po

Now that its been done, is OpenAI needed or can you iterate on DeepSeek only moving forward? My understanding is this effectively builds on OpenAI's very expensive initial work, provides a "nearly as good as" model for orders

This has been Musks goal for a long time. But while trying to accomplish it he's burned the goodwill and much of the public perception of Twitter/X as a good company. I certainly have a highly negative view of Twitter/X and w

It will be interesting to see which models update to the "Gulf of America" and which keep the "Gulf of Mexico" in their training data/self-censorship stages.

I'll take another look at them thanks. I'd still prefer a band over a smart watch. When I initially looked at them they were very bulky and only had a few days battery life, but its been a while.

by hmmm-i-wonder 2y ago
I really hope you get your wish, I share it. I gave up with tracking because the short life of a smart watch meant many of the more critical times (sleep/sleep tracking) would be interrupted by charging or dead batteries. I just want a

IMO the stress is different. In startups you own things a lot more personally, and depending on how you handle stress that can be more challenging than the stress at big tech. Hours can very much depend on the big tech and startup individua
