Venture investors want the prospect of a high return on their capital. Whether it's by investing in "the next AirBnB" - a business that can on its own scale to billions in revenue - or by investing in a company whose technolo

I’m not sure what these regulations and taxes are that you’re talking about. Have you looked at Alberta? It’s the Texas of Canada. Extremely lightweight corporate regulation and low taxes. Corporate income tax on the first $500,000 of incom

The phrase “As an AI language model..” was reportedly produced by GPT itself. Humans reported that phrase as a more palatable output than other options, hence the model was fine tuned to produce it reliably.

It had to happen eventually. There is so much money to go after. This is a case of lawyers creating their own income stream.

I’m guessing that change will be eliminated by congress. It’s sort of an unthinkable disaster that will find a compassionate ear on both sides of the House.

It’s true that doctors are limited in what they can do without a physical exam. But a lot of doctors’ appointments are for things that can be handled remotely, such as renewing a prescription.

Yeah that comments is bullshit. It’s very easy to establish a business in Canada. The bureaucracy is efficient by comparison to most developed countries including the US. The tax authority is not scary like the IRS and the rules are reasona

Canadian tech employers pay some of the lowest effective income tax rates in any developed country because the R&D tax credit regime is so generous. For Canadian controlled private corporations, the tax credit on R&D salaries is abo

Superblocks is cool, but... when I tried building a simple web hook receiver, it totally failed because the sender of the web hook had their own particular notion of how authentication should work. And Superblocks was rigid in its concept o

Canada’s real estate sector is massive. The economy seems to run on digging things out of the ground to sell to other countries, buying nice things made abroad, and then selling houses to each other. All of this fun is backstopped by a gove

I got one of these immediately after ordering something from Apple. Since I work in the industry, I contacted friends who can do something about it. I’m surprised at how long it took UPS to go public with this. It’s very obviously their fau

Interested to know how you plan to build a moat against Slack and Microsoft who are both building their own GPT-based systems to help manage chat-bloat.

In 1999, our “computer vision” guy - a masters student - struggled mightily to recognize very simple things in a video stream from a UAV. Today, we would take this for granted. But back then, the computation was for all intents and purposes

And then you have to wonder how long young Canadians will stay in the country, when better prospects can be had nearly anywhere else. Japan? Their housing costs have been falling for decades. How about almost anywhere in the USA? If you see

My engineering students explored this idea for a project. It turns out that sending something into the sun is really difficult. You have to overcome the velocity of planet earth orbiting the sun, which means you need a delta-V of 8.8 km&#x2

The BoC is relatively technocratic and they won't lower interests purely to help homeowners. However, given how much leverage Canadians carry, a shock to the housing sector would probably bring about a recession, which would force the

I think the problem is that tokens are not characters. So even if you had access to a JSON parser state that could tell you whether or not a given character is valid as the next character, I am not sure how you would translate that into tok

I built something like this and it was so rad, but oh my god was it ever expensive. I definitely advise using the 3.5-turbo model if you find the results acceptable, because it is 20x cheaper than the "guru level" genius of GPT-4.

If GPT thinks a function call is warranted based on the input, then it fills in a "function_call" parameter in its response and provides the arguments. You then call the function using those arguments and in your next call to Chat
