I understand that standing up memory fabrication plants is no small feat, but how much of this is due to memory fabricators' patent moat? To what degree is this caused by IP barriers vs. the difficulty in actually manufacturing the thi

Agreed, and this is exactly what we see happening. Your posts back then were prescient ... there's literally now 'Copilot for Excel' and 'Claude for Excel' etc. But what do you propose the people/commons can st

Thanks dang for compiling this. I suspect the Nov 2018 resurgence was due to Google publishing BERT [0] around that time? The release of OpenAI’s GPT-1 [1] was earlier that year in June, so unlikely that. Of course Jan 2023 needs no explana

+1 for One Sec, a fantastic app, if one has the patience to wire it up using Apple’s first-party Shortcuts app (which is probably the main reason most normies aren’t going to use it). Really helped curb my Instagram usage down from about

Very cool project. Is this similar to the Apple Watch ‘mindful minutes’ breathing feature? I assume it’s based on the same research as is cited in this project’s repo?

Mechinterp in general is just completely undervalued right now (and agreed Anthropic's team is doing the most rigorous work, now accompanied by Goodfire). They're doing the closest work to neuroscience's in vivo 'thought

Does anyone else use the 'smells' as a sort of 'game' to ensure you properly go through a given LLM output (of any kind, be it document, presentation, code, etc) and 'make it your own' by eliminating them? I ha

Wondering what the plan is to steward Eureka Labs, LLM101n, and whatever else was being cooked up. As a fellow educator, was very much looking forward to seeing how this would have evolved things.

I struggle to see the difference between "Let AI do that" and what a founder/executive is instinctively led to do also (i.e. delegate). Why does it have to be an ADHD thing? Yes, I see the risks of AI for someone with ADHD (d

From what I understand, the RAM shortage is more about AI inference than AI training. Yes, training created much of the early HBM crunch because frontier-model training clusters need tons of HBM near GPUs, but inference is what is keeping t
