There's very few other fields out there that provide the benefits that tech does, with the work-life balance. What are the alternatives?

Because the browser is slowly becoming the OS anyway, and the reason why is that it’s way easier to distribute an application via the browser than natively. No app stores, no downloads, no updates, no installers, and mostly consistent acros

Give sales a try. I despised sales before I moved into a Sales Engineer role. Once I saw what sales really was, and how good sales people are not slimy, I now love it.

All of Andrej Karpathy's stuff on YouTube is absolutely top tier. He's a rare example of a brilliant contributor in his field who is an equally brilliant educator. Start with his short intro to LLMs, only 1 hour long but is dense

Outsider speculation, but I’d guess ROI and compute/infra limitations play a big factor here. LLMs have well understood limitations simply because of their internal machinery - they’re probabilistic, can’t dynamically learn (arguable),

You gotta walk before you can run. Xv6 is basic, but it’s a great intro to operating system fundamentals that can fit in a semester for people who’ve never seen these concepts before.

Props to you for putting your ego aside and finding something positive out of that shitty situation.

OP isn't saying the person they were referring to is a world-class figure in everything (or even two things), just that they seemed to be producing better results in the categories OP cared about, which is very achievable.

Apple has never been about moving fast in response to hype. Think about 3G, VR, foldable screens (apparently coming to iPads in a few years). They do things in their own time and somehow it works.

Can you explain what you mean by this?

Agree, people need to chill. The thread says they would have been happy if Sam stayed, they just wanted him to choose one or the other which he agreed with. It seems like a very amicable parting of ways when the parties involved were being

I mean kudos, the UX here is so insanely good it feels like magic, but I don’t trust magic. Where’s the data coming from?

Lots of negative comments on this. I, for one, am glad to see work that supports better transport infrastructure while not being insanely ugly like a lot of transport infrastructure is (like the giant concrete birds nests of highways in US

Where is this demo? I googled and can’t find anything.

Usually a standardised port number implies a standardised protocol. There’s nothing like that for AI right now.

Thanks, this for me is the best articulation for why someone might feel so strongly.

It doesn’t really ‘bother’ me and I’m not worrying on their behalf. If you’re actually interested in why I’m worried, it makes me question whether there’s less emotional resilience in our society, and I value emotional resilience because I

I explicitly said I’m not saying it’s wrong. Im asking if the emotional sensitivity to these things impacts them in daily life.

I’m not dismissing it, I’m just curious about it. For me, if I was having strong negative reactions to things frequently it would impact my wellbeing. I wonder if thats not the case for these folks.

by mindwok 2y ago
It’s not my place to tell anyone how they should feel about anything, but the number of comments here suggesting people had a strong emotional reaction to this does kinda worry me. How do those of you who feel so strongly about this ad get

I play guitar and I didn’t find it painful to watch. I thought it was a cool idea illustrating all those instruments being compressed into a tiny device.

The enterprise buying process is geared to achieve consensus and reduce the risk of purchasing the wrong thing. As a result, dozens of groups get invited to participate and all throw their requirements into the ring. Vendors then do contort

Jeez, I'm a Sam Altman skeptic but this is just another level. How about instead of attacking this guy and literally deconstructing a single-sentence tweet to make him out as an evil bogeyman, we make some constructive arguments for th

I don't know what it would look like, but I'm excited at the prospect of grand strategy games like Paradox's CK2, EU4, etc with LLMs. They already heavily use random events so it'd be cool to make those more dynamic, mul

Was there last week, third time visiting. Still had an incredible time, but hotels were pricy and almost everything was booked out, hotels and popular restaurants + attractions, about a month ahead of time. If you go I'd recommend not

It’s quite a stretch to jump straight to innocent people being jailed because they’re using an LLM to summarise audio.

People keep saying this, but I don’t see how an LLM is a complement to a social media website. People don’t consume more social media with more LLMs. Whats the link here? Also on the Dwarkesh podcast, Zuck indicated one thing they’re afraid
