I’m glad they didn’t fire him. I’m a firm believer that despite all the short comings of US, what makes it great is there are millions of engineers and scientists working to push the frontier of what is possible, and trillions of dollars in

Linking to google docs is not a good idea. If this is truly that big of a deal I’m sure NSA will request Google to delink it. It is credible that OpenAI has cooked up something incredible and they are not being public about it before they a

There is a very good chance Trump would be elected again. For the median worker, healthcare, housing + utilities and food costs have shot up. The cost of sustaining yourself has gone up but wages haven’t. Yet we bring in more people to the

Separation of compute and storage, and storage having tables being sharded is now in many modern databases (cockroachdb, clickhouse and singlestore come to mind). This being part of native aws fully postgres compatible is exciting though. I

Files are just a bunch of bytes. No harm in putting them in a database. There were some benchmarks, I couldn’t fine where SQLite was faster than native file system at retrieving, searching and adding files to a large directory.

Title should be “Most VC funded AI startups are doomed”. I dunno man, levelsio (Pieter) and Danny his friend are making millions as solopreneurs taking existing models, some light training and adding beautiful frontends to it. You’re right

Back in the day on would get into the top 1% by getting a good degree and working hard. And getting a good degree and job was a function of who and where you were born. Now that is even more amplified. Most young people will become rich by

I would pay for an adless and algo control version of Facebook, Insta and Twitter/X. With Twitter even if I pay, still get the same number ads. I want to customize what is shown in my feed.

Got a brother HL-L23800W. Replace the toner every few years. Its a printer that prints. Wifi printing is such a gem.

Probably gonna get downvoted for this. Housing is very supply constrained. High mortgage rates are holding prices somewhat steady. We definitely need more supply and while keeping current demand. What this means: - build more high density h

Does “This is nonsense” imply you think humans are special snowflakes and AGI isn’t possible?

I really really love Llamma uncensored. It is my fav model. Gives me what I want with a warning along the lines of “but I may be incorrect, use your own judgment”. It’s the model that treats me like an adult.

AGI is very possible. ASI (artificial super intelligence) is gonna come pretty quick after AGI. The question is when and who will distribute it widely to everyone. When we have AGI, we will find it out pretty quickly since whoever gets ther

Gary - his posts go from -“oh my god! AGI is 6 months away, Take all GPUs, stop all AI” to “AGI will take 600 years, what a bunch of horseshit, idonbelieveit”. I wish he actually put out research saying how we solve some of the shortcomings

I wish open street maps had vectorized maps instead of the tiled images. Google maps is in need of real competition. It feels stagnant and regressing over time.

Some of what was going on was entering hate speech. There were posters of Indian consulate folks with crosses on them near the gurudwaras. Those folks received death threats, threats of their kids getting kidnapped. Anyone advocating for vi

If the developer is in China, they don’t need to notify GH. The authorities can appear at their home and get their way. We consume most of our cheap goods from China, so in a way we get some blame for making China the dominant authoritarian

Claude refuses a lot. GPT4 also refuses a lot and one has to try several prompts to get out what you need. LLMs are trained on the entire internet and more. I want a model that just gives me the answer with whatever it knows instead of play

What this proves is that OpenAI interests are now entrenched with profit. I’m assuming most of the researchers there probably realize there is a loooot of money to be made and they have to optimize for that. They are deffo pushing the front

X seems to have had the worst execution from all of Elon’s companies. I believe he could have done much better if he started from scratch and formed a lean team to execute on a vision. Now he has to spend a lot of energy from having Twitter

The big question is whether he will plead guilty and/or the judge will convict him. In US, you can be rich and get away with a lot of crime and crookedness. If Trump does go to prison, that will make quite the news. Putin and Xinping w

Out of all the anti-trust cases, Google has the most obvious abuse of its monopoly position. I feel for them. The make >80% of their profits from ads. Ads is everything to them. They need to sacrifice privacy and fuck over the users to s

Food, house prices, healthcare, education, cost of raising kids - all significantly gone up. Doesn’t matter if you make a wee bit more, if everything you need to survive has shot up faster in price.

Wages are not rising. Most people I speak to are making the same as pre-covid. Yes the Rich are definitely getting richer, anyone who owns a profit producing entity.

Went through Southwest that does the shenanigans of "you don't get a seat", just group number. Everyone ahead of you can choose the seat they like". It wasn't a great experience. They charge arm and a leg to upgrade
