It’s the same as a giant one hot vector. He’s not describing anything terribly new or impressive, but if it works then god bless and good luck.

He’s speculating that Microsoft is nerfing OpenAI / chatGPT to funnel narrow capabilities to silos like CoPilot.

This is patently insane. Yes, keep blaming outside agents for the flood of corruption that holds the region hostage. Is the US to blame? Of course, but in a limited sense, and not without your own leaders selling you out. And the socialist

Yeah because you’re not a child anymore. This is like saying you can’t get into fruit rollups like you used to. Don’t fight your nature and find some mature hobbies to get excited about rather than looking forward to the next Zelda game.

I interviewed for an ML scientist role (remote) while I was feeling a bit under the weather. I got through to a round with the founder/CEO and things were going well. However, this was a few days later and I was beginning to feel not s

I have no interest in big tech but I think this is false, it’s still an asset. Now, is it what it used to be? No. But you can get hired pretty easily. And if you think Google stunts you you’re going to love legacy companies. Now Meta, that’

You could take a similar approach to detection (hypothetically). You provide writing samples a LLM is fine tuned on, then future texts could possibly be filtered by perplexity or similar to detect obvious differences in style. Of course, th

Terrible take.

That’s just a supervised fine tuning method to skew outputs favorably. I’m working with it on biologics modeling using laboratory feedback, actually. The underlying inference structure is not changed.

You can get rid of the television and coffee table and seating. We all have a choice. Your older self and partner and kids will thank you for being in good shape for longer.

It’s difficult to disentangle people’s desire for Google to fail due to layoffs and corporate misbehavior from legitimate analysis about how LLMs will cause Google to fail.

Right, but you have room for a television and multiple couches etc. Give me a break.

Typically, outside experts are useful for out of distribution inference about a particular situation. Fine-tuned generative AI is self evidently not good at generalizing outside the scope of its training data, and becoming reliant on it for

Why on earth would anyone 1) go to business school 2) trust anyone who went to business school?

There are other options, including TPUs. Besides, cloud computing is what any sensible practitioner uses, despite how building a home rig is a fun hobby.

I disagree with the analogy you draw (no pun intended). Good creative design is the edge case for a model like this and is naturally much less tractable than getting to this level of design (I’m not a fan).

“I wish I majored in biology and CS and got a PhD” says the author. So do your readers and investors. This investor skill mismatch is a huge problem in biotech and a major reason for the COVID boost and recent crash.

Exactly. I was into a half dozen top law schools and had a very good LSAT score but what you mentioned nagged at me until I chose a technical masters instead.

Yes. I moved to the east bay but despite the sunshine I think I’ll be going back to SF later this year.

Let's all give this 12 year old kid some applause. Me water-cooling my xbox 360 (yes, and I wasn't alone in doing so) at 13 felt cool, but this is on another level.

This reads like a parody.

He never once wrote that only first-rate colleges produce these individuals, nor has anyone with any sense ever stood by rankings as anything more than a proxy for some deeper hierarchy. And yes, like it or not, the higher ranked schools at

Your biological intuition is poor. I'll leave it at that.

yeah, well (and this might be a stretch for you to consider) maybe they reduced the return window because people like you expect every item to last indefinitely.

Your energy calculations seem implausible, irrelevant, and perhaps even sinister sinister. (similar to the conservative talking point about how busses, per passenger, are less efficient than cares because busses don't operate on averag

yeah, very "funny". Especially since rail, even diesel rail is far more efficient than any air travel. Think about it. Why is air freight more expensive?
