The example could be handled with no machine learning at all. Just use a bag of words comparison with a subword tokenizer. And if you do need embeddings (to map synonyms/topics), fastText is faster, cheaper and runs locally. For hard c

OpenAI is a non-profit. (Kinda like a penguin is technically a bird.)

Fun fact 1: Elon has repeatedly said that Earth is vastly under populated, and that, if you drop an anvil from a plane there ja pretty much zero chance of it hitting a human. Seems like what used to be a thought experiment of his has now be

Congrats! I wish I would have coded like that when I was 16. Tipping my hat!

Kinda like “horse” and “Ross”. Not obvious at all in writing, but you can imagine how it could transform like that given a purely verbal transmission.

So who made this? Vercel? I know this is being posted by the Vercel CEO. Did you “commission” this as an ad? Or was it maybe built by a customer, and you helped him get visibility? What’s the story? I take it that Show HN is not just about

$40k/3y/365d/24h ≈ $1.5/h. That’s just the GPU. No energy. No management. Not that great of a margin, it seems to me. Am I missing something?

AI has meant different things to different people in different times. I think his NLS was designed to capture all of (your|a company’s|humanity’s) knowledge and then giving you the information you need when you need it at your fingertips, e

I find it interesting that Engelbart, Kay, Jobs and even Elon have all been learned people who saw in AI a way of augmenting human capabilities, finding truth, giving kids new ways of learning about history and science, and tackling planet

Haha. Well put. I think the idea is that you get yourself busy learning new APIs, spending time reading ever changing docs, hanging out in Discord channels, so the framework creators can point to the size of their flock of developers and ma

It seems to me that the fastest way for iterative improvement is to use LLMs with pure Python with as few frameworks in between as possible: You know exactly what goes into the prompt, how it’s parsed, what params are used or when they are
