I shared a personal perspective, while allowing that people using and likening the service might see things differently. Your response is that you disagree and therefore your mind is better than mine. Quite strong a judgement about another

Several of his interviews on YouTube pre 2020 I believe. Might be in “Zero to One” as well. I believe there’s also a talk between him and Eric Schmidt on YouTube where he brought it up.

Ask Peter Thiel. He has been arguing that Google has been just resting on their monopoly laurels for over a decade now (and that everything else they’ve been doing since then has been basically just a red herring, so they can say, „Oh we ar

Is not natural language being superseded by specialized language in pretty much every specialized, competitive niche? I mean, even with large language models, isn’t there a whole new area forming around “prompt engineering“? Natural languag

“Mastodon” as a product name, to me, doesn’t sound inviting at all. Evokes associations with masturbate, Mammoth and the general sense of something big, dark and clunky. If you have used the product and like it, I’m sure you won’t care abou

Do it in style. Rent a Tesla. Sleep in it. I’ve done tours like that through Europe with the S, the 3 and the X. Can sleep comfortably in all of them as one person. In the X, it even worked with my wife and kid (plus baggage for a one week

It’s an aptly named product then. Quite rare these days.

Is that an actual transformer, though? Like with encoder and decoder layers? That’s the part I never truly understood. Or is it “just” an example of a neural network? Thanks!

Look at how more human these people look. Looking at such an old passport, it’s as if you see the whole person. With our modern mugshots, you just see an object.

The Swiss psychologist Carl Jung had built what he called a tower on lake Zurich. A few weeks before he died, he had a dream of making a journey to the other side of the lake. My late grandfather one day was puzzled because he was convinced

If he had been the kind of person who just “listens to their doctor”, maybe he wouldn’t have come up with the iPad? (I know he didn’t invent that single-handedly. But you know what I mean.)

It does take a special person, and a special frame of mind to even sit down and ask such a question. I guess 80% of the reward is simply asking the question. Having a system that actually answers it might only be worth 20%. We’ve already se

Sure. If I had never heard of Elon, and suddenly saw his name everywhere, and bros who cheer and justify him and feel like they’re the chosen people… and Tesla this and Twitter that... I'd be turned off as well, call him a nuisance, an

You said it well. I actually suspect that many people hate him not in spite of what he has done, but because of it: They think if they acknowledge what people like Elon Musk have done in their lives, they'd have to loathe themselves, t

I think there are better ways to make the world a better place than wanting someone you don't like to fail. Besides, there's often an ulterior motive - not just for wanting that person to fail, but also for telling yourself that t

Thank you. I am, in fact, reading it. Fascinating read. (How come all the best books were written in the 70s? Just survivership bias?)

GPT is auto regressive. That means each output token becomes part of the new input sequence. Which is to say, the beginning of the model’s answer becomes part of your prompt. If the model makes some mistake in the beginning, it now needs to
