Literally every single example you provided does not require much math fundamentals. Just basic ML engineering knowledge. Are you saying that understanding things like numerical overflow or exploding gradients require sophisticated math bac

Debugging ML models (large part of my job) requires very little math. Engineering experience and mindset is a lot more relevant for debugging. Complicated math is typically needed when you want invent new loss functions, or new methods for

Sorkin is more interested in how the crisis felt than why it happened. Thank you - this is exactly what I want to learn more about. Placed an order.

In this scenario I would take that 200k (or whatever there would be), and move to some low COL country.

They wouldn’t build anything - they would order from Dell or Supermicro.

I think coffee test for robots will be similar to Turing Test for LLMs, which was quietly achieved and forgotten somewhere between gpt-3.5 and gpt-4. Real tests are tasks like cooking or plumbing - I expect that to come in 2-3 years.

I’ve been thinking about this too, and I share your optimism: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47213310

Are you saying they did not use native harnesses like Claude Code or Codex? How did they do it then?

In the last three startups I worked at I didn’t bother exercising my vested equity - even a successful exit would at best triple the price of those shares - not worth the risk. One of those three startups already failed.

I’m forced to do this with claude code: documenting work for context management. Every new agent starts fresh, so everything better be recorded and explained.

I’m observing very similar trends at a startup I’m at. Unfortunately I’m not ready to retire yet.

I think it’s a combination of simulation, YouTube videos, and specially recorded training footage. The last one is expensive, but given the funding these startups receive, I’m pretty sure they can scale their RL methods at least 10x.

Why can’t it learn from, say, YouTube videos?

For example, I’d like to have a farm. But I don’t have knowledge, skills, or time to maintain it. With a robot I can, right?

A robot like that would be far more useful to me than my car (I rarely use a car), and I paid 50k for my car. So for me personally, 50k would be a no-brainer. But of course only if it can do the tasks I mentioned well enough.

we'd need some real fundamental breakthroughs What sort of breakthroughs are you thinking of?

Honestly I’m not really interested in industrial robots. What price would be reasonable for a humanoid robot that can do common household tasks?

by p1esk 8mo ago
How low? Would you consider $50k to be low enough for wide adoption?

It does. Just put it in the custom instructions section.

The AI I’m using (gpt5.2) is already vastly more capable than me in pretty much any mental task - even in my domain of expertise. I will be surprised if I still have my job one year from now. And robotics field advances pretty fast too. I w

fp6 with block size 32 is a tough sell today when blackwell has native support for fp4 with block size 16. How can I contact you?

Interesting - what makes you think things will slow down?
