Are there any good lists of scientific, academic, hacker-news type people to follow? Was hoping to see Yann LeCun at least, but so far it’s just Mr. Beast, etc.

No, but the average tenure at Microsoft is around 5 years. Depending on their career moves before and after their tenure, they aren’t necessarily rich.

I've been incredibly happy with Meta's decision to open source so much of their work. When US Senators Josh Hawley and Richard Blumenthal attacked Meta for open sourcing LLaMA I was worried they would retreat. Yann LeCun has great

Scribd data was not public facing, and even they don’t own the copyright to most of the books they have. maybe they created a scraper that got around their paywall? If that’s all it takes to skirt copyright restrictions Aaron Schwartz shoul

They can be deterministic, but that doesn’t mean the information they are regurgitating is correct.

Douglas has some great points but he obviously has not worked in front end development in a long time. It is much easier to stand on the shoulders of giants in JavaScript than write a responsive, material design table with Rust and WebAssem

For GPT 4 I usually look on scribd. If the book you want was there in 2021 you can usually prompt information from it.

I couldn't find the privacy policy for Azure Repos. Does anyone know if it has the same type of statement regarding 'human eyes' for private repos ?

Einstein’s quote about God not playing dice with the universe seems appropriate here. ChatGPT’s universe is governed by probability as it applies to a training set.

I agree. You can also go to to github.com/torvalds/linux click on code -> Download zip and have the Linux Kernel. I’m not sure what having ChatGPT write it for you would give you. Maybe 10,000 hours of frustration after you re

If it takes subpoenas to get package management fixed in Python so be it. Can the Rust Crates.io team take over Python management as well?

An argument could also be made that If you pulled all the copyright infringements out of the training set for ChatGPT it would be not be half as intelligent.

It is hard for me to compare two black boxes. I agree that ChatGPT looks leaps and bounds better than Bard, but it’s hard for me to tell the power of the core transformer model ends and the heuristics and secondary models begin. Knowing wha

A month is a very short time scale, but I agree that the next big step is probably not around the corner, and maybe a different paradigm altogether

As long as it’s on a VM; and not exposed to Bluetooth, the internet, or any external devices. This may be true. I miss my VIC-20 too, but those days are over.

Sometimes they are just the friends of upper management and not necessarily the senior developers that should have been pushed towards upper management.

I cannot verify, but delving deep into electrical engineering topics I’m guessing most of that training set is coming from expensive college text books and papers that are behind paywalls. My guess is it scraped all of Sci-Hub. Which is a g

China has a huge and restless population, and their economy at this point isn’t designed around outsourcing. I see them using AI in an authoritative way, but they wont be rushing to replace people with the zeal that Silicon Valley has.

Awesome. As part of the diaspora, I have met a ton of open-minded Turkish people. Especially in the US, if they have an artistic or educated leaning, we tend to have a lot in common. The more people who can see beyond national pride and try

It is a bar they use to hire. The barrier to entry. They figure they can't go too wrong if you get over the bar. In the beginning, they just took grads from Stanford / MIT. Then, someone did a study and figured out that was a bad

If you've ever seen the TV show Silicon Valley, "Big Head" played this archetype very well. There are always a few people in every company who do so. Consider yourself lucky in some ways; you probably haven't rocked anyo

Having worked at really high quality startups, and low-quality companies, this is a real thing. 0.1x developer might be a 10x developer that has given up because the build or management is fundamentally broken. Working more will just lead t
