One of the things that blew my mind in my early career was seeing my mentor open the side of a VMS machine (I can’t remember the hardware model sorry) and slide out a giant board of RAM, and then slide in another board the same physical siz

Also - try and adopt a growth mindset with a “can do” attitude. It’s not your job to submit perfect, flawless code, it’s your job to understand the problem and submit a solution to the best of your abilities. When you get feedback, don’t se

Not only that, but DFT itself has many many different forms. There's DFT that is O(n)^3 and there's DFT that's O(n)^7 in time complexity, the wild variations are due to the different approximations (i.e. algorithm and paramet

This reminds me of that midwit meme, Far left: Just build better models Midwit: Nooo you need succict languages to maximise the token efficiency, succinctness is a form of compression so that you can ... Far right: Just build better models

Most of the time the interviewer is determining how you think, whether they can interact with you easily, how you react to uncertainty, how you react to feedback, how you react to a superior saying “I don’t know”, your resilience in the fac

Then only use it for the small tasks? There's one button you have to click to turn it off.

Is he working for Tesla at all anymore? Whats the current stance on remote work? Is it now OK because he wants to do it? Such a hypocrite.

One of the interesting things about LLM coding assistants is that the quality of the answer is significantly influenced by the communication skill of the programmer. Some of the juniors I mentor cannot formulate their questions clearly and

You can tell this was written by a human because they wrote that skynet still used violence in the end. When there’s a large enough intelligence differential, the lower intelligence cannot even tell they are at war (let alone determine who’

I thought the same thing, I have 3 really hard problems that Claude (or any model) hasn’t been able to solve so far and I’m really excited to try them today

Yeah, there’s so much variance in abilities, I struggle to remember faces, but I remember audio exactly - I have like “photographic memory” but for sound - and this includes conversations. I can remember long conversations, exactly word-for

Yeah there’s more to it than that. Do you want a can of beans to be put in the utensil draw just because it would fit? If it was done as you describe the placement of all of your items would be almost random each time, the bot need to have

The greatest form of art is the discussion on whether something is art or not. When you see a broken toilet sitting in an art gallery selling for 5 million dollars and someone thinks "I could do that, this is stupid", they have co

The cold hard truth of the world is that things are not evaluated solely meritoriously by everyone. Oracle know this, in fact, they rely on it. If they are trying to win a big corporate contract you know a good way to get it? : The dude who

What do you meam "download the model and trrain it yourself"? If you download the model then you're not training it yourself. If you train it yourself, sensorship is baked in at this phase, so you can do whatever you want.

They didn’t say it was nothing they said it was nearly nothing “no practical effect” on the economy, which is true. One of the exciting and appealing parts about remote work is the enormous lifestyle increase you can get by living in a coun

This is exactly it. I left Google in 2013 after working there for 3 years because I could see this happening. I only imagine how much worse it is now.

This is pretty cool! As someone with virtually no experience in this area I’d love to read the source code, is it open source?

The thing about donut.c is that its source code is shaped like a donut, that’s a huge part of its charm. While altering it to use shifts and adds is a fun exercise, since its source code is no longer shaped like the donut it renders, I woul
