Women who've had kids live longer & have fewer diseases btw. Breastfeeding reduces risk of breast cancer. It's not such a bad deal actually.

"Authentic X-country food" in US is not authentic. The mildest andhra chicken curry is unbearable for the average American palate. What US has is the appearance of diversity.

Mixing and matching methods is best, I feel. It's like ensembling models. The benefits/inefficiencies of your favorite method get counterbalanced by the benefitd/inefficiencies of your 3rd favorite method. For ex, if you real

Regression is unsolved, for a start. Re LLMs, they are expensive to finetune and their inference times & memory footprints are poor compared to smaller models.

Nice list, many are resources I used to get up to speed on this. I'm currently competing on kaggle on an NLP competition and I feel this is honestly great way to see the limitations of LMs and LLMs. Kaggle's community is like noth

The protagonist is super intelligent but didn't foresee this? Also, what is the idea that destroys him?

Please, am I the only one who found the last few pages of this story as meaningless word salad? I enjoyed Flowers for Algernon so much more, it moved me and OK, made me cry. This one started with the same premise but had to force myself to

My knowledge of bronze vs iron comes purely from playing dwarf fortress. Are they fairly comparable in the damage they can cause?

Eh. Anyone who observes small children will see that they learn very slowly, but constantly. And they are extremely good at it - better than nearly all adults - at a minimum they pick up language, gross motor skills like walking, running, c

> it will make you a broken soul with broken social fabric, but with more experience. I didn't expect this :( Why are you this way? Reading your comment until that point, I thought you'd figured life out.

That statement makes no sense. My point was that languages evolve, even though we write books and make dictionaries with fixed-in-time vocabulary lists. Similarly, langauges will evolve even if LLMs, for mysterious reasons, have a fixed-in-

I think that commenter is quite aware of the popular stereotype of the "greedy businessman", and is countering exactly that.

Spot on. Culture is a taboo topic for Americans, although they're as influenced by it as it anyone else. The only kind of "culture" they can acknowledge (generalizing here but once I saw this, I couldn't unsee it) is one

Not really - citation is for citeable knowledge. What about unciteable stuff? Can you describe how you know what a dog looks like?

Can humans answer that? Isn't that a totally random question to use to determine whether something is "fundamentally defective"?

Only in US there's this strange obsession with counting how many languages one knows. If I count, everyone in my family is at least bilingual, and most are >= trilingual. It's not unusual for someone to speak 4 languages (2 reg

This is a modern way of thinking. Ancient wisdom never comes with citations. But I'm happy to be proved wrong.

Can you explain a bit more? I'm taking Andrew's courses and he's so inspiring, but I want to know if he's been right or wrong in the past about AI.

I appreciate your account but > Also, most Indian Restaurants in India, if not owned, are pretty much run (cooks, etc.) by Nepalese. Nope. Never seen a Nepalese cook in Chennai or bangalore?

The "point" is the meandering. The medium is really the message here. Here's an example sentence - "But the nanoscale work of chipmaking is monotone only if your ears aren’t sharp enough to hear the symphony." See t

Not sure why everyone is complaining this is badly written - it's prose, written for dramatic effect with TSMC as the idk, plot? It should be read for beauty and word-taste, not just the story. If AI can produce this, that's only
