I had no idea how expensive owning a dog was. Vet and dog food prices have all shot up. Before I used to say you should get a pet, now I don’t. Same with kids. It’s insanely expensive to have kids. You wanna stick it to P/E and capital

Not sure why you got downvoted with /s tag. Is it really freedom of a drug hacks into your brain biology to make you desire something over and over again?

Curious, what makes having cigarettes have low body fat? or in general they get undernourished?

Gary Marcus has become attention seeking lately. I unfollowed him. Most of his posts were attacks on other people instead of genuine contributions on how we can make AI actually better and safer. Easy to criticize, much harder to offer effe

Brexit may have been most self own votes by British. They didn’t realize what they were exiting from. They went straight into corporate greed fuckery.

100% ^. But then it ends up being tied to race since black folks are on average coming from a less wealthier class than white people. And class is hard to judge objectively. If you go by income tax, many wealthy people show very little inco

The issue with AirBnb is that it doesn’t have the best reputation nowadays.

You’re getting downvoted because of name calling, not because you have a different view. “Losers who will run till they die” “Bunch of amateurs” That level of inflammatory discourse ain’t welcome here.

We are talking about trillions of tokens. I’m sure the big players like Google, Meta, OpenAI have used anything and everything they can get their hands on. Libgen is a wonder of the internet. I’m glad it exists.

Applied for Meta through a referral in 2023. Got ghosted. Which is weird because recruiters reached out for both Meta and Google in 2021 and I passed their interview then. I took a job at a startup instead. Not sure if good or bad decision

Yasssssss! Thank you. This is the future. I am predicting Apple will make progress on groq like chipsets built in to their newer devices for hyper fast inference. LLMs leave a lot to be desired but since they are trained on all publicly av

How old was he? We doubled our lifespan from 32 to 75 from 1900 to now. In a 100 years, we changed the game. Once we pass 50, there is a lot of complex machinery at play including genetics, past history, diet, drinking, smoking e.t.c. to ca

The Supreme Court is a joke nowadays. We really need terms at every level of major governing position. Judge for life is a terrible precedent. Not that far from kings. Especially the republican judges who take lavish trips funded by billion

FSD is cool as a great demo. But the optics and facts are that it’s got people killed. Multiple people over the years. Silly mistakes causing crashes. It will get better but definitely does not live up to the “full self driving” marketing h

I use Github co-pilot but 55% productive is a bullshit number. Perhaps 1% may be. Most of co-pilot suggestions are either simple pattern matches or subtle hallucinations where I have to catch and fix silly bugs. Github Chat is not very usef

I have yet to see an LLM build and debug something complex. Barely stringing TODO apps, sure. Still need a competent human to oversee. Hallucination are a serious problem. Without symbolic reasoning, LLMs quickly start to fall apart due to

iMessage gets the attention. In another perspective, I was reading Meta quarterly earnings and they have 3.5 billion active users on their family of apps with WhatsApp still growing. That’s almost every internet connected person. And Meta s

referrer google or user agent google bot is a great way to have google specific shenanigans to rank higher in search. Google says it's against their policy but plenty of sites do that. Plenty of sites let their paywalls down just for G

I wonder how many millionaires there are who have done a white collar crime once, got their money, cleaned it using some business and now living off it never to do it again. Take that secret to the grave. Not just white collar, but many peo

Geoffrey Hinton, AI doomer Eliezer Yudkowsky and others like Gary Marcus preaching AI == nuclear weapons seem like they don't really understand how LLMs work under the hood. Or they flip flop between "look at how stupid AI is&quo

400k is a pretty small number. Apple spent years on VisionPro with a large team. This means so they are likely in the red (unprofitable) on VisionPro. This ignores the opportunity cost of the VisionPro team working on something else. Apple

IMO there is likely huge demand for bots that are witty and can write occasional put a useful comment with a link every now and then. It’s going to be interesting how spam evolves. At-least spammers who aren’t lazy. Already many of the recr
