My favorite is the history of chili pepper. It's something so fundamental to indian cuisine that I assumed chillies were native to India for a long time. His video shows the true history of how that spice travelled from the Americas to

Putting things into perspective is not minimising the problem. We literally have to do this to prioritise where our efforts can be useful. Your argument makes sense if ai datacenters were using something close to like alfafa farming but the

The group includes Netflix, the most technically capable streaming company. It's sad that companies will only go down kicking and screaming even for the mildest of regulations

I'm pretty sure paris looked looked nothing like now 100 years ago. Some other buildings had to come down to put up that art noveau building. I'm pretty sure someone would have been complaining about how that changes the character

Due to "politics" my teams main responsibility went from developing ai agents to just testing out a chat it developed by another team. When you spend 8 hours a day doing mind numbing tasks, tasks that won't help you land anot

It's hard to imagine if you have not experienced it. The air would still be hot even after the sun sets in some parts of India. Usually when wind blows over you you feel cool. With hot air it's like a blow dryer in your face. Just

This is why I really like karapathy's idea of llms having spiky intelligence. We would assume that if tasks A and B are closely related. Mastery in A would mean mastery in B but that doesn't always work with an LLM

I tried running fable on this ML model I've been building. It's basically a binary classifier to predict activity of a compound for a certain assay. Fable detected that it's something to do with biochemistry and switched over

There is also the possibility that an LLM judge would be happy with some code that looks like LLM generated code. But a maintainer for a specific project might not merge it for stylistic reasons

During the time that this paper was written agents were not really a thing. I would be more concerned about centralisation of work itself as a bigger concern

This is true up until the point where someone sends you a crappy old version of a word document that breaks when you load it in Libre Office. I had to install office after that

There is a wide chasm between writing code in python vs "write a star craft clone". And that is not where near writing python vs writing binary code. To put in another way, we have been building abstractions to make things easier

How would you approach this problem if you are let's say token constrained due to per month limits set in your company? What I've tried to do is make the bot write detailed spec documents, slowly building it over time as I explain

You are missing the point of why AI is being hated so much. Sequencing was just a tool for you that made your job easier. Right now it almost feels like CEOs can't wait to use AI to fire everyone

I would say that most improvements are in easily verifiable things like code or math. Atleast that's where all the amazing results seem to be coming from. Other domains I am not sure but I've heard from people like Cal Newport tha

It wouldn't be a problem if 1) people get a say in the matter and 2) those tax breaks don't require increasing taxes else where. So far with all the data centers built that does not seem to be the case.

IMO we are either limited by data or reaching the limits of what's possible with a transformer architecture. Hardware will get us efficiency but I am not sure if it will lead to smarter models

Right now there are state govts bending over backwards to provide cheap energy for data centers. The difference is being paid by people who live nearby through increased electricity costs. This is a tax with just extra steps

Is the underlying assumption that gitlab will see new paying users because more people are buying coding agents? If gitlab thinks they are as famous as github i don't know what to say. They should have atleast positioned themselves as

Won't this be bad for agents since now you need to provide this new API in their prompt, as opposed to just regular git which the model has seen enough in its training data
