Because the original point of it was to distinguish journalists and public figures, so you could tell imposters apart from real people. Now its purpose is to show who has a premium subscription. Totally different feature using the same name

Related note: Karpathy is really good at naming things. Seems whatever name he comes up with for new things sticks.

What "potential peace deal" are you talking about? Russia has no interest in peace while they have so many allies in the Whitehouse. Meanwhile they continue to bomb and kill Ukrainians.

This is 100% my experience. I appreciate a manager who can jump into the codebase to fix the small stuff: typos, lint issues, updating minor dependencies, etc., unblocking devs from doing the main work. I like when they have some sense of t

These high-quality music models require pirating many, many terabytes of music. Torrents are the main way to do it, but they likely scraped sites like Bandcamp, Soundcloud and YouTube. AI music is a weird business model. They hope that ther

Also, if you're not from the USA, you're more likely to associate it with the beloved Rowan Atkinson sitcom.

To the absolute contrary. They do it because of the contempt they have for the average US citizen. These people now in power believe their interests come first because, in their minds, they are inherently superior to most people by birthrig

We've been seeing success using it for LLM-as-a-judge tasks. We set up an evaluation criteria and used o1 to evaluate the quality of the prod model, where the outputs are subjective, like creative writing or explaining code. It's

Sounds like your CTO is dangerously incompetent and isn't actively using the AI tooling they are endorsing.

I don't know what the future holds, but developing software in the present is amazing. I've always loved writing software, but I love writing software with AI even more. All the boring stuff, like converting data from one format t

The difference is that you didn't need to scrape millions of videos from YouTube with residential proxy network scrapers to train yourself.

Good article. A very relevant paper worth reading is Programming as Theory Building: https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/Naur.pdf . Programming is not just about producing a program, it's about developing a mental mod

My guess is that it isn't available because the training data they stole occasionally leaks into the outputs.

The NotebookLM podcast feature is so unbelievably good! I've been feeding it random papers I've always wanted to read, and it's giving me these entertaining high-level summaries. The banter is almost addictive. Also, reading

The trade-off was that you had to burden your friends to take the photos, spend your own time collecting the images from them after your wedding, research AI services, and oversee how AI touches up your photos. You traded money for your and

One thing I'd add to this is to schedule it in the future. Sometimes, you can't bring yourself to block all websites right now, but you can happily make it a problem for your future self. I've written a similar script to do t

I really love Threads personally. I find it more chilled than Twitter but not as boring as Mastodon. The engagement I get is much, much higher than what I get on Twitter and the vibe seems friendlier. My major complaint is none of the AI co

Fair enough. But they have done a fantastic job educating me about propositional logic, set theory, Turing Machines, algorithm design, etc. - actual computer science - and the theoretical side of software engineering. My point is that this

How so? Re that quote: Software Engineering is a tiny part of any Computer Science curriculum, and the content at my particular university is quite out-of-date. 5-10 years is being generous. Git and version control are absolutely not covere
