I think that article is more about the public not understanding “real poetry”(understandably) rather than testament to AI capability. But I agree with you: there is a selection bias going on. I have no idea how much good AI writing I’ve bee

Exam was administered on December 7th 2024, so it is possible this is in the training data but unlikely. The open source model as worked through the problem step by step (it was R1 so I could read its chain of thought). That could be an ela

This isn't a handout, it is an investment with an expected return. Which is good, because it is less likely to be applied to bad ideas like forcing solar roadways and solar farmers.

I have a sinking feeling that this is correct but I'd love to understand the arguments for/against this position. Do you have any podcast/blog/videos that you recommend which make your case clearly?

Nice. Reminds me of the discrete metric in my Real Analysis course: distance is 0 if it is the same point, 1 otherwise. We used to joke that it was the perfect metric for finding weird counter examples

Not exactly what you're talking about, but `uv` lets you specify dependencies in the header of scripts: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/scripts/#declaring-script-d... I think what you describe really on

I don't think you can do anything serious locally. IMO, the best option is hosting a VS Code server [0] on a linux box and using Tailscale to connect to it via the browser. At that point you have a real compute environment and a pretty

Every startup is different. They differ in expected working hours, stability, compensation, equity, impact, mission, etc. Imo, most of these dimensions overlap with bigger corps. except impact: it is much easier to have a lot of impact at a

I wonder if performance would improve if you asked it to create csvs from the tables first, then fed the CSVs in to a new chat?

He is paying for 5 employees and an office with 7k-10k a month? 25k / month revenue seems pretty low for that overhead.

Agreed. I am rarely tracking my what I am saying vs other people. I also focus on paying attention to what people are saying and trying to engage and ask good questions. I rarely volunteer my own stories / thoughts unless they are dire

Do you charge for the web app version? I'd expect the module version to be somewhat close to that? Also make sure to expect a lot of pain working with IT at the banks. I worked with some people at US Bank and their restrictions were ab

September 1st was a Sunday, plus the 2nd was a US holiday. We're closer to a ratio of 1.0 now, it is probably best to compare ratios after a week or two to see how things settle out.

Sounds like you found a great employer who actually invests in their people. 2.5x in 10 years is about a 10% annual raise. I've always had great performance reviews but never broke 10%. I'm at 3x salary over 8 years, but almost al

Yeah I pretty much always think through the unit circle to get the value of sin(0) and cos(0) (unless I had been doing a lot of trig lately) I remember drawing everything out on trig exams though and making myself an on-demand cheatsheet.

This is interesting, I'm not sure my alarm actually wakes me up all that often. I'm usually mostly awake and the alarm is more so an indicator of what time it is. This is the case even when I set extremely early alarms like my 2:3
