I don't agree with the sentiment that the resources are limited to academic literature and high-level use of existing tools. There are many many examples of "write your own <ml-something> from scratch", it is has been b

I'm starting with the premise that AI assistance makes people more productive - if you don't see this, you're either misinformed, several years out of date, or we have some deep idelogical disagreements that we aren't go

Because of course someone on Wall Street has to ask what a quant is. The movie is lots of fun though, Ryan Gosling’s character is hilarious.

It seems intellectually lazy to assume that the present continues reliably into the future. You need a more concrete argument than "we've been making progress so far so we'll keep making progress", or if you're on t

Maybe but only if you're imagining completely new and inexperienced people who wouldn't be able to get anything done without AI entering the field - I can see how that can cause an emotional reaction. But if you compare two experi

There's still a big difference between someone with experience and someone without, LLMs haven't bridged that gap. Knowing how to use an LLM, having access to a good one, using it regularly anywhere you can, you would still get, w

My point is specifically that this term isn't useful regardless of how you define it. People will waste a lot of time and effort in trying to convince others about where to draw the line, and regardless of whether they agree or not, no

It's nice for guidance when you start a project but you quickly run into problems if you want to rely on it entirely. I tried to use it to build a small library which implements an established algorithm from scratch where I can guide i
