So, what’s the right answer and how do you know? The only way to know is to go to some primary source.

I tend to agree with most of what has been said. The only difference is that some workflows need to be deterministic otherwise the penalty for failure is high. In that case, AI is helpful in searching through a space, but something orthogon

Ok. I thought it was some change in the algorithm.

LinkedIn is a long-form billboard not a blogging site. It’s meant for getting attention, not for thought provoking discussion. Or at least, I’ve not really seen honest discourse on any recent social platform. There are plenty of reasons to

This article is really two. One that describes RL. The other is how they applied it. The former was quite helpful because it demystified much of the jargon that I find in AI. All branches of science have jargon. I find the AI ones especiall

I learned recursion in Pascal and had a ball implementing innumerable algorithms purely in recursive structures. The code was often more compact and simpler to explain — once you understood induction. I agree that combinators are helpful, b

Tail recursion is beautifully deep and simple. It (and as a corollary CPS) makes clear what state matters to your loop (and function) and avoids extraneous variables in loops as well as implicit unneeded state in functions. It also makes it

This is a tragedy. Our pre-eminence as a scientific and industrial powerhouse that really began post WWII is now disintegrating because of the actions of a few. The funding being pulled from Terence Tao and his institute without due process

Fantastic post. I became a manager in the style of the Steve Jobs philosophy— take one of your best individual contributors and make them oversee the work of others. Professional managers didn’t work out well for Apple, but the approach of

A beautiful and simple explanation of formal specs. I especially like the remark that a spec can be incorrect. The art of building correct systems is just in showing the implementation is correct but also choosing a spec that matches our in

The AI scaling that went on for the last five years is going to be very different from the scaling that will happen in the next ten years. These models have latent capabilities that we are racing to unearth. IMO is but one example. There’s

While their growth is faster and technology different, the atmosphere feels very much like AWS back in 2014. I stayed for 8 years because I enjoyed it so much.

This talk is deceptively simple. The most sage advice that founders routinely forget is what concrete idea are you going to implement and why do you think it will work? There has be a way to invalidate your idea and as a corollary you must

Cool post. We did a similar evaluation for document segmentation using the DocLayNet benchmark from IBM: https://ds4sd.github.io/icdar23-doclaynet/task/ but on modern document OCR models like Mistral, OpenAI, and

Wow! What if we all did this? What is the closure of the feature set that ChatGPT can imagine for your product. Is it one that is easy for ChatGPT to use? Is it one that is sound and complete for your use cases? Is it the best that you can

Its funny. Generally, people in the startup world frowned on this bill because of the cuts to essential services. Nonetheless, we’re thrilled about the expansion of QSBS. Perhaps there’s always a silver lining.

Yup. Makes sense. The biggest value of MCP is that everyone is using MCP. This too is not a new insight.

Fine tuning isn’t for everything but certainly makes it easy to build models for special purposes, eg metadata extraction. Happy to lose some capability in another domain for that, eg Pokémon. The headline is a bit too general.

Legend. I still remember first putting my hands on a Mac, and the joy of computing that ensued in high school. I could get lost in the computer for days. Thank you, Bill.

Verification is going to be an increasing problem with AI. Most of the work will be in verifying the incredible guesses that AI make. In some cases, it'll be important to easily ferret out the false positive, and in others, it'll

I would argue that this is already true in roles where one supervises the work of another person with skill. Great leaders, for example, were once practitioners. Over time their skills may fade, but their judgment makes them effective and a

The scary part of this is that the bad guys are doing the same thing. They’re looking for zero day exploits, and their ability to find them just got better. More importantly, it’s now almost automated. While the arms race will always contin
