In crypto, wash trading usually refers to the practice of exchanges or project creators colluding to trade the same asset back and forth in order to make the volume/liquidity/popularity look greater than it is. - "Our coin hi

MCP is more like a UI that is optimized for LLMs for interacting with a tool or data source. I'd argue that an API is not a user interface and that's not really their intention. > Regardless, again: if the AI is so smart, and i

That's because attention is all we need.

I disagree. A neural network is not learning it's source code. The source code specifies the model structure and hyperparameters. Then it compiled and instantiated into some physical medium, usually a bunch of GPUs, and weights are lea

Evolution is the heuristic search for effective neural architectures. It is training data, but for the meta-search for effective architectures, which gets encoded in our DNA. Then we compile and run that source code and our individual lived

A more fair comparison would be subtract it from the size the of source code required to represent the LLM.

These are two very different things. One is talking about an improvement made by making control flow changes during inference (no weights updates). The other is talking about using reinforcement learning to do weight updates during training

Almost every PM I've worked with had an engineering degree and/or previously worked as an engineer. This "Josh" sounds like a strawman or you've had bad luck with PMs in the past. It also sounds like you have a PM o

Your sources are talking about the ratio of small molecule vs. large molecule drugs. Even if you're developing small molecule drugs you are likely targeting some aspect of protein signaling/gene expression. People are being dismis

It was a pun about how this thread is being overly semantic in an unnecessary and uninteresting way... We could also talk about how the word 'executes' implies some kind of agency which computers lack. It's like saying a roc

Cool, thanks for the response! I'm enjoying using the site. One followup: does it take into account grammatical errors, incorrect conjugations and that kind of thing?

Interesting final point. It's like the business equivalent of NP-Complete problems, difficult to compute but easy to verify. Can you give any examples of those types of problems you've encountered?

That's the problem that was raised by the parent comment. There is no single 'unit' for this formulation of velocity because it is too qualitative. It's a similar property to "code quality" in that regard. Ther
