Making jobs idempotent forces good design imo.

I feel like a ton of people still just write code for themselves. It's such a big problem that a common piece of advice for founders is "build something people actually want". ------ As a counterpoint to myself, perhaps found

No, I meant a lot of work (programming, 3D modeling, level design, sound engineering, etc.) was done to create the game. Then someone had to port the game, which doesn't involve 3d modeling, level design, sound engineering, or writing

I think the term 'non-creative' was just used as a practical distinction when discussing 'creating <the game>' versus 'porting <the game>'. I don't think the author intended to comment about th

So since a model is fine tuned via RLHF my point doesn't stand? Genuine question; it would be interesting if some other mechanism was at play here.

First off, thank you for the resource, I'll dig into Wood's research + checkout this specific podcast. I think what would be interesting to study (and is likely covered by Wood outside of this soundbite) is not the steady state of

I don't know much, but this isn't surprising based on the little I know. Transformers predict the next token. If your question is at the end of the prompt, the start of an answer is a more likely next token than if the question is

What is hard about things like this is it ultimately boils down to self control. Sure, by creating the friction tunnel, you are less likely to get distracted online, which makes self control easier. But the thing is we are smart and compute

This seems like a very literal interpretation of "spatial computing"; I don't think anyone will be physically manipulating ASTs with any regularity.

> We've only seen marketing footage at this point. Agreed that it is too early to judge. I was basing my opinion mainly off of tweets from people who used it hands on at WWDC, but still that is a biased group.

I think for each use case how you interact with the headset over a significant period of time will be different. For productivity, you still will use a keyboard. For a video game, you may be standing and moving. But, no matter what, the AR

"The cause is algorithmic. This is the algorithm. EDIT: The post doesn't follow the algorithm. But still, it's algorithmic, stop being conspiratorial."

Look man, in my opinion, in the current political climate this is clearly on the short list of possible bad takes for this tech scandal (hate the phrase, but it fits). That is why this thread even exists in the first place . That was my

See my response to Tremon but resorting to an ad hominem based on an (incorrect) assumption of how I judged the situation is both rude and a waste of time.

I don't appreciate the insult, especially saying I have a "low mind" whatever that means. I am not racist. I wouldn't wager that this was race related. But I wouldn't say that someone seeing the situation, and then

Humans engage in tribalism and racism regularly. Thus someone might assume something of that sort is at play here, though it might be an unreasonable assumption for reasons x, y, and z.

It might not be reasonable, but it is likely.

I agree with your points. There was some interview where a smart dude basically said we became enamored with the scientific method and created these strict, quantitative laws/rules/measures. Now we are trying to squeeze reality in

You're creating a false narrative man. Him creating tinygrad makes sense given he created a self-driving car company which leverages deep learning (and now uses tinygrad in prod, go figure). It's not like he decided to hop from se

Consciousness does not emerge; that's a trick your brain plays on you. Really your conscious experience is quite empty/vacuous. Let's take vision, for example. (this is based on reading a handful of papers without a backgroun

I don't think it is accurate to think of it as the "output" of information processing, rather I think it is the actual act of diverse, yet integrated information processing. Simply put, different parts of the brain do differe

Am I the only one that feels like this article really doesn't say anything at all? Sure most of the work in the computing world is done by scripts (written by humans). Sure if an AI can magically write/manage all those scripts tha

The fact that it is learning online in fractions of a second to prevent falling (I would say) is pretty magic!
