If everything else works, or you can make it work, eventually as you scale their incompetence will show, and they will be helped into one of the roles for founders like these: CSO, CIO, CPO, etc. It is also possible that you just don’t unde

It is a challenging time, for sure. I am sad you described your child that way but I understand — and I hope things improve for you both.

You’re welcome — it’s too late for me to edit my wording but hopefully you understood what I meant by “1/3 to 1/4 slower.” That is ambiguous, instead I should have said that models that fit in memory on both take 3-4 times as long

You can run very large models on a Macbook M2 with 96 GB. They run 1/3 to 1/4 slower in tokens/s than the faster hardware, but they fit in memory. (400 GB/s is a lot in the form factor but the 4090 and equivalent have 1

Maybe her primary motivator was taking care of her child? Not everyone wants to occupy more of their mind with work than is required, and society benefits from this in all kinds of ways.

It discloses the cognitive dissonance in his position. He seems to be saying both “skill at assessing ability is random and mathematically bounded only” while admitting “skill at assessing ability changes with ability.”

The technical term for this is alloparenting, and it should be more well known outside anthropology. It has been extensively studied and I cannot find very much unique about this study, except perhaps the involvement of a child psychologist

These analyses always seem incomplete to me. You need a whole second plane, and that plane needs to take off and land, and carry and elevate significant extra fuel during its takeoff. I feel like the fuel economy savings are probably techni

Both analyses seem to agree on one finding: people’s skill at estimating their own ability increases with that skill. It can’t be a purely mathematical artifact because you would see a tapering at either end, or a narrowing distribution of

Just because the data appear random doesn’t mean you’ve gotten at the cause though. From those charts it could equally be low skill throughout, or something nuanced like lack of skill at estimating at the bottom, improving skill in estimati

That’s great. Just FYI I noticed that NES’s birthday description has a typo saying it was introduced on October 15th instead of the 18th.

Your concrete example is Netflix’s CEO saying he doesn’t want to do advertising because he missed the boat and was on Facebook’s board and as a result didn’t believe he had the data to compete as an advertising platform. Attempting to run a

This is the inherent conflict in the company. Once it turned out you needed 7B parameters or more to get LLMs worth interacting with, it went from a research project to a winner-take-all compute grab. OpenAI, with an apparent technical lead

Other than the general shortcomings of a rat study, does this result run counter to your understanding of the effects of stress on genetic expression in the brain? My understanding is that early childhood stress in humans has also been fair

Epigenetics is the catch-all term. “Evolution in Four Dimensions” is an interesting if slightly dated book going into many of the ways that the expression of your genetic material can chance who you are.

I think it’s more likely that D’Angelo was there for his link to Meta, while Hoffman was rendered redundant after the big Microsoft deal (which occurred a month or two before he was asked to leave), but that’s just a guess.

But it does suggest a possibility of the appearance of a sudden motive: Open AI implements and releases ChatGPTs (Poe competitor) but fails to tell D’Angelo ahead of time. Microsoft will have access to code (with restrictions, sure) for ess
