Yes, my post was mostly a response to the first few segments of the interview where Sam talks about how experts in the field didn’t believe in their (openai) focus on AGI. I’ve been working in deep learning for over 10 years now and was alw

The feedforward nature of transformers means that it can only do a limited number of computational steps. Having it explain an algorithm is a good way to have it use its output as a tape during inference/decoding, but even then it just

I'm glad Lex chose to spend half of it discussing Jordan Peterson and Elon Musk. Also as great and useful as the LLMs are, it's still a bit of a leap to claim it's getting us that much closer to AGI. GPT does a great job comp

I’ve been working on ML systems like that for the last 10 years, usually as tools to automate boring data entry tasks like tagging photos, automating food logging, giving dietary advice. At first these tools offer suggestions, but as more d

People should keep in mind that these human in the loop AI systems are built to learn from the human until they’re good enough to replace them.

I'm sure it's all of their content plus half of the web. The proprietary data they get from Behance, Lightroom, Photoshop and Illustrator (and soon figma) has to be a great advantage for them though.

Should have also mentioned how VCs are compensated and that following Softbank into the mad rush for huge rounds got them filthy rich off of fees without having to worry about real returns.

They pay so much more because US is the largest english speaking country, which is why most companies that plan to go international start there first. Starting a company in Italy and expanding to other regions is a lot harder than going fro

I coded up a snippet to make the hide button not load a new link after one is hidden. This way I can hide everything that I don’t care and only see 2-3 threads when I come back to HN, saving me a ton of time not having to scan the whole pa

Sounds to me more like Musk is trying to fill in the void left by Trump by creating 24/7 headlines to get people onto the platform. I'd be willing to bet that the Qanon crowd is also the last set of people who still reliably click

Weird, it shows up as 1:40 long for me. It's the last 5 minutes of the episode, where they claim GPT-3 is an all knowing machine that will generate factual responses to any question in a way that's superior to google search.

I think it's fine to work on and release these models, where things fall apart is in how some large companies market them. Listen to 1:35:30 of this Bill Simmons podcast interview to see how an average person interprets the capabilitie

Engineers interested in cars or rockets have way fewer exciting options than web devs working at Twitter.

No because importing into sqlite can be pretty slow. With duckdb you can query parquet files directly.

It’s 100x faster, works on larger than memory data and let’s you run SQL over csvs, parquet, arrow tables and etc. I mostly use it to extract data from a production DB, do basic preprocessing for ML training (which requires joins and filter

Should focus on summarizing existing notes that nobody is reading instead of generating more noise.

duckdb is really competing with things like snowflake, where compute is separate from storage. Loading data into postgres and tuning it can be a pain in the ass, with duckdb I can query huge parquet datasets in cloud storage without spinnin

I'm starting to believe he decided it made more sense to mark down the investment to 0 and use the losses against his income for the next few years instead to pay the fine for pulling out of the deal.

Obesity in the US went from 30% to 42% in the same time span so it might account for a decent part of it.
