I don’t quite understand why context length needs to keep growing. It seems to me like many tasks (e.g. customizing your LLM on your own data) would benefit from the model doing some sort of sped up fine-tuning on any prompt that gets adde

I prefer their analysis over lichess’s and I think they are a lot more feature rich. Also, I think the company in general is pretty good at chess? I’m an 1800 elo player for reference.

How does a non technical manager know who is doing bad or good work? I wouldn’t want to work on a team where the person in charge of my compensation can’t understand if I’m doing decent vs. great work. Leads to the best folks getting frus

I don’t agree that trying to estimate things is bad as the author suggests. If you are perceptive and want to get better at it, then there’s a decent chance you will. Estimates also help us timebox work. They can help us give an objectiv

First day was a pretty fun start. Just heard about this for the first time this year and going to give it a go. Tangential question - why does the HN crowd hate these types of questions in interviews but apparently likes to do them on thei

It appears that he may have upped his dosage. And him acting like he can recover is from the drugs. To act like this after clearly committing crimes visible by tens of millions of people, and just getting torn apart for it online. I wish

He seems to be deep into denial. I can’t imagine what’s going on in his mind right now.

Ok. I saw this interview months ago and thought something looked off. Now I swear he is playing LoL in this interview: https://youtu.be/xVaSSTEHB0Y

SBF has turned out to be a complete psychopath. It’s scary. Someone who was quite trusted in a number of circles turns out to be a liar, fraud, and just knowingly stealing from retail. He should be behind bars.

I’m not convinced they’re going under. Is Alameda in trouble? Maybe, but FTX is basically having a bank run. Just because things are slow processing doesn’t mean they’re going under. SBF came out and claimed to have all customer deposits

And I respect your view that generally workers are more productive at home. We can agree to disagree there. Also, work commutes in traffic are indeed silly. This post is about body doubling, which happens far more in offices. That is a f

I agree with you that productivity for managers versus programmers is different, but my view is that the majority of workers do more work in person and people actually really enjoy being productive! The “body doubling” that goes on in offi

I think this is the reason why in-person work environments will be more productive over the longer term for any larger organization. Not saying I’m against remote work, as I actually prefer it myself.

Do you trust a single Rasperry Pi over a secured blockchain? If so, I think we can agree to disagree.
