Your work here is so beautiful, but perhaps one lesson is that growth and learning result where symmetries are broken. :-D

That's different from how things worked for Edison. But similar to how they worked for Luther Burbank. I'll be rooting for you to succeed in this endeavor. I used to visit IBM ARC when I was a kid, and to my mind the academic envi

Eric's depiction of Edison and his rapid experimentation sounds very similar to the descriptions of one of Edison's contemporaries, Luther Burbank, as told in The Garden of Invention by Jane S. Smith. I recommend this book to th

Makes sense. We have to work within the system as we find it. Would be great to see the system evolve in a way that would support efforts like yours though!

I'm not sure who's better positioned to answer, you or Jeremy and I asked him already: How are you thinking about the role of patenting at Answer.AI? How about handling tech transfer issues with universities?

I love your writing. I believe the reason some people do not is because you are very precise, which means using more words. As you know, people are impatient and prefer less words unless they can see clearly how more words were necessary. I

Are you referring specifically to line 141, which sets the number of embedding elements for gpt-nano to 48? That also seems to correspond to the Channel size C referenced in the explanation text? https://github.com/karpathy&

Exactly! Typing "import matplotlib" at the python REPL instantly gave you the capability of Matlab without the requirement of a commercial license. If I recall correctly, matplotlib was built after Matlab increased the prices for

As somebody who's been at this for a couple of decades, this strikes me as a rather well balanced view. What I can't understand is how no patent reform discussions have anything like this kind of balance. It's all "stron

A similar story could be told about Steve Jobs and Apple. Anecdotally at least, Steve hired the patent litigators (who had represented Apple in a patent infringement lawsuit with Taiwanese MP3 maker Creative Technologies over the iPod) to p

The patent in question appears to have been filed in 1996 https://patents.google.com/patent/US5915257A/en?oq=5915257 A quick search suggests that Excel pivot tables launched in 1993. So the Brio patent does indeed

That's fair. It seems we all agree that the timeline here is much longer than some might understand from the author's remarks. But ultimately I agree with the author regarding Nvidia's competition — it's like a dog walki

I agree, if by "long" you mean 5 years. The author seems to have a longer time horizon in mind than do most Wall Street analysts though. Sun Microsystems did great through the 1990s. But by the time the LAMP stack was fully mature

I will confess that at least the biology work is still somewhat mysterious to me. John Baez used to be active on Twitter. I believe he's still active on Mathstodon now. If you're curious, you might ask him.
