Basically every company is seeing a revenue decline in 2023 compared to last year. Even Apple reported a revenue decline of 5%. Meanwhile Microsoft is showing about 10% revenue growth in almost all their products, and the take-away is that

There was a joke going around after the start of the war where someone, in response to a discussion about the effectiveness of face masks, responded with: "I‘m sorry, I‘m not an expert in virology anymore. Currently, I’m specialising i

I agree. I think the discussion has been in a better place. Many discussions are heavily polarized with no room in the middle. Maybe it’s the layoffs, maybe it’s the war, maybe it’s AI, maybe it’s the golem that Tim Urban talks about in his

Oh. And also they are probably making ChatGPT Plugins ready for public release. Maybe the competition can catch up on the language model, but they will not likely catch up soon to the best language model with the most plugin integrations.

Although FOSS is great, extreme wealth inequality has to be fixed by the government and not by open source developers.

It could be that they are not training GPT-5 for a simple reason: Microsoft ran out of GPU compute [1] and they focus on meeting inference demand for now. Also, the GPT-4 message cap at chat.openai.com was shown as something along the lines

Summary: Trust us. We’ve been doing AI for years and are very good at it. We didn’t offer generative AI yet, so "today we are excited to announce Amazon Bedrock, a new service that makes FMs from AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Stability AI, and

Although a large total addressable market (TAM) is very alluring, know that most markets are dominated by a few players. For example, sugary beverages (Coca Cola), office software (Microsoft), or luxury sports cars (Ferrari). Exceptions are

Yes. No function overloading + no object oriented = verbose function names. What I find even more crazy is that some of the R functions take function names as strings as argument. For example, taking "sum" as an argument will then

This exact same difference exists between the North and the South of the Netherlands and also Germany. Even though it’s only a few hours away by car. In the US, the South is more explicit I guess? Here the North is more explicit.

Very interesting post. Sounds similar to the introduction of cars. Around the 1900s, there were hundreds of car manufacturers all jumping into this new market [1]. [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_motor_

In hindsight, the first quote already perfectly summarises what happens next: "Important public men like yourself are not 'common men.'" This binary thinking makes it a lot easier to throw people into the front line. Acc

For what it’s worth, I’ve been trying to verify the claim from Microsoft and OpenAI that we would get more software in the future when the price of software would decrease. In other words, they claim that there is a supply problem for softw

How about both? Both lax regulatory environment and expected AI productivity gains in the (near) future.

I couldn’t agree more. I listen to multiple audiobooks sort of intermittently plus multiple podcasts and it’s great to have such a mess. It’s about processing the information. What’s the point of reading a book if you don’t plan to remember
