The thing with Fox is that there were four people on the same TV or movie set that all wound up years later ill with Parkinson's. But it's such a rare illness that most people who have it won't have ever met someone else with

I also did this as a kid. As an adult I discovered it's called the Thue-Morse sequence. https://oeis.org/A010060 It has a lot of fascinating properties that I think you'll be as delighted to learn about as I was.

> Why are these prices so much lower than the competition? > Their margin is our opportunity. A bit off topic but is that quote originally from Jeff Bezos, or did he just make it more famous? Anytime I hear it, I immediately presume t

While I agree that these would be in a lower orbit, if they are low enough that debris would fall quickly then so would satellites . Debris doesn't know it's debris and so it should fall when the satellite did not. Yes, some sate

That only covers half the earth! We'd need another set of lasers at the earth-moon L3 point. (Also the distance would be a problem for a variety of reasons)

If you mean the "If you don't know" part, oh no, they have a much bigger problem they're solving. The LLM will absolutely lie if it doesn't know and you haven't made it perfectly clear that you'd rather it

OpenAI have a good business model here, though possibly a bit unethical. Shopify (who recently laid me off but I still speak highly of) locked down the public access to ChatGPT's website. But you could use Shopify's internal too

I think it's a bit of hubris to demand we explain how LLMs can be as intelligent as they are when we barely understand how the ball of meat inside our skulls can be either. We know that neural networks can simulate any function, given

And will the executive team at Microsoft also be taking any compensation cut or freeze? Or will their mostly-stock-based income go up as a result of saving so much money and increasing the stock price?

Consider Amazon One-click purchase. That patent was one of very few (out of tens of thousands) that they defended heavily. Every other company on the planet had to have at least two steps to purchase an item or Amazon would come knocking wi

As someone who was laid off by Shopify today, I can say this: the document was written well for the audience it was meant for. It was genuinely Tobi. That's how he talks and writes. That's exactly the analogies he would use. No PR

Look, I spent a decade at Amazon working for Jeff Bezos and the horde of sociopaths he enabled. I know how it goes. Tobi has never given me the impression that he's a sociopath. It's part of why I wanted to work for Shopify. I use

I'm impacted. And it sucks. It sucks because I really liked the company. I liked the culture. I liked the leadership style. I liked the mission. I genuinely think that company is doing good for the world, and making money in the proces

It let me exchange personal email addresses with a lot of great friends I won't get to work with anymore. I truly appreciate that Shopify did that for us.

It's not so bad, given the company culture. I'm one of the people impacted and it never occurred to me that anything was off by that statement.

I was impacted. I still will speak highly of the company. Good people. Very few assholes. The mission feels good, like it's not a net negative on the planet. Lot of churn internally, but often handled in a positive way. I'm fortun

Weights are basically number/float variables. In neural networks, vectors of values are multiplied (or math'd in some way) by weights to get new vectors of values. A 500 billion weight model has 500 billion variables, all carefull

I'm excited by the idea of WASM being 'the thing' because it basically boils down to passing raw executables around, and running them in trusted contexts. It's the ultimate end to the cycle of removing all operating syst

I've quite liked their mobile UX actually! On Android, I have an entire screen devoted to the widget. I swipe to the right, read the list, add to it, check things off. I rarely open the actual app.
