How do you know if you're truly happy? That you're working on something not because you feel the need to prove something, battle your insecurities, but rather because you want to do something meaningful? I'm genuinely curious

On what level of topics do you query LLMs to help you learn? As you become a domain expert, the usefulness of LLMs diminishes, I imagine? Regarding the learning of learning from first principles vs from 'working interfaces', could

I guess this isn't applicable for technical books, i.e. you don't read them on a kindle?

I think it's a great advice. I'd also add that reading a book from cover to cover without a clear application of the knowledge can be wasteful in terms of time and retention, and might lead to feeling motivated to finish the book

This looks super cool, but why not use this tool as a non-visual tool to show similar books given a title? As far as I know there aren't many tools for this Also it would be super cool if we could import out goodreads reading lists and

I actually meant exactly this. People apply ML to their domains and say thay that this is similar to having a chemist with a PhD.

I remember the CEO of google saying that more capable models will be releases a few months (a month?) ago already. Either they delayed or the model is just as bad (maybe they released after the announcement of coding in 20 languages?)

In regards to 2), it sounds a bit directionless to be proposing stuff people don't need? Isn't that more of a problem of selecting relevant problems to solve, and getting supervision on your ideas?

All of this conditions on having a single goal: career success, or any other singular goal. Feeling the need to hustle non-stop might not be the 'best', whatever that means :)

Nice. Is there a similar UI that allows to go back in chat history and branch from there? Re-entering initial prompts is quite inconvenient

Is this a joke in Russia, i.e. people referring to him as black in order to lessen the view of Russia's outlook to foreigners? I've never heard people refer to Pushkin as being black (and his parents indeed aren't), besides h

In my experience 3.5 is so far away from 4 that it makes it makes 3.5 useless. I'd give another shot to gpt 4 if 3.5 was almost working for you (what did you use it for, anything for specific?)

Not sure, maybe there are some savants with photographic memory. But likely people remember references to certain art and can look them up and then 'copy paste' stylistic elements (but with a lot of effort!)

Interesting. I remember when the speedup of chat-gpt happened, the API prices dropped by around 10x, so I'd imagine there were some tricks of making them run faster. If they still haven't implemented these, it would be positively

That sounds like having a mixture of experts model (at high scale popularly developed by Google): train multiple specialised models (say embedders from text to a representation) that could be fed into a single model at the end. Each expert

(Why) Is that technically correct? I'm really curious since I too thought they meant that capping effect would increase (fewer messages allowed), and not decrease (more messages allowed), as was my intuitive understanding.
