i've been a paid consumer of chatgpt - 4 for a while and i've been recently using gemini more and more, its free and while not as good as gpt-4, it is good enough where paying for gpt-4 doesn't seem worth it anymore.

I'm not seeing what he said wrong in the context of dating for men in the bay area. Anyone will be more choosy if they have plenty of options, so yes women act different in heterosexual dating when they have tons of options (like in th

thats pretty much also the story of deep learning isn't it, i too enjoy reading about researchers who have a pure devotion to their subject.

I gained nothing from reading this piece other than there are smart people at MIT (which i've already known) and that this guy has a new book coming out.

When technology advances we should advance the way our society is set up (which a lot of people forget is possible). We shouldn't try limit researchers from trying to come up with new stuff because all of science is related in some way

until ML stops producing cool new things, i'm pretty bullish on ML, to me even the hype feels justified (as opposed to crypto and NFTs which i always thought would fail eventually)

In my opinion the most talented don't always succeed in the wildest ways but they do succeed to a pretty large extent. In an alternative timeline bill gates might not be the richest man heading up one of the largest companies but he wo

I mean, i also know tons of bad parent who judging by their actions don't seem like they enjoy being parents that much. You should only have children if you really want to have them and not because other people are doing it.

I agree that there are a large number of people who overthink having kids and so don't but i don't think not having children makes ones life 'empty' or 'unhappy'. Like everything, it really depends on an indivi

Modern Indian culture for a multitude of reasons isn't very philosophical, there is no such concept as doing good work for the sake of it, if it doesn't benefit ME in someway, i'll do the least amount to get away with it, tha

The average indian mentality = say 'yes' to things even if you don't know how to do something and do the bare minimum required to get away with it. It is hard living in India due to the huge amount of people living there and

In a capitalist economy, high pay doesn't equal challenging / hard work or even valuable work. If you exist where the money is being funneled, you will get paid a lot even if you barely contribute.

I would get a job in SV in 2012-2013 instead of 2021 and made a decade of "big" money, expanded my network etc... instead of working a decade in average companies which don't care too much about software development
