Yeah that’s the classic assumption but the reality is Human Resources are expensive and as a tech CEO you really can automate a lot of stuff that perhaps a non-tech CEO would have to delegate to a person. It’s a hidden advantage (curse?) I

Okay, this is embarrassing but I feel the need to contribute as a catharsis. LEISURE TIME 1. WSJ: the OpEd section is neocon trash, but the journalistic content is well sourced, objective, and interesting. 2. NYTimes: probably the highest q

I appreciate that HN has extremely high quality moderation. There is virtually no garbage content. I don’t know how this magic is achieved, but I am grateful.

And what about causality? People who go to college are likely the smartest, wealthiest, and best supported people to begin with. How do you find a matched control group of people who didn’t go to college but who could have? What were their

It’s not just the big guys who steal ideas. Unless you have an agreement in place prohibiting a partner from copying the ideas you shared with them, they are generally free to do so. Get a sharp lawyer and never just sign someone’s “boilerp

The reason we outsource monitoring to Datadog is so we don’t have to worry about monitoring while the rest of our revenue-generating infrastructure is having a bad day. My team absolutely could do this in-house, but it would be a distractio

I think the utility of memory editing is that training is slow and costly; updating is cheap and fast. Presumably, if you’re running a GPT, you might want to fix things it is getting wrong (for any reason), and this technique allows you to

I’m only sending GPT message snippets, which Gmail’s API make available - probably using a language model (LoL). So there is very little PII in the API calls to GPT. That being said, I think OpenAI has a very large incentive to carefully de

No, the script just runs a Gmail search and iterates over the results. The workflow is as follows: 1. Send statement items to GPT to generate search queries for Gmail. (basically company names like “Adobe”) 2. Search Gmail using these queri

Thanks for the feedback. I think I will just throw it up onto GitHub. It’s really a hastily thrown together dump of Python code. One of the ugliest things I ever produced from my keyboard. Then again, it does work.

Using the Gmail API. It uses OAuth to authenticate. Google Cloud lets you create a custom OAuth login box for your “app”. You download a JSON file and the Python client code reads that and sends the user to a web browser to go through the O

It’s so simple it’s embarrassing to admit. I think the prompt is “Here is a credit card statement item. Identify the company: <STATEMENT>” GPT-4 is just that good at one shot classification tasks.

Sure why not. It’s absolutely horrific Python code. Maybe someone else can clean it up 10,000x. I’ll make a note to move it to GitHub.

This tech will be used by crooks to automate attacks. Generate the language using GPT-4 and the audio using Bark, and then start making phone calls. Because it’s open source, all you need is GPUs. This is not a criticism. I’m impressed and

A serious nod to Karpathy here. They could have chosen any other Transformer architecture, but chose perhaps the most reachable one - in the literal sense.

Transformers and Diffusion Models seem to be leading the pack lately in many tasks. It’s cool how these models can be used in a variety of quite different contexts without changing much about the network architecture. That being said, I thi

In Canada, qualifying R&D spending generates a tax credit that can be worth 60% of engineers’ salaries. In other words, a company that spends $1M on engineers in Canada not only writes off the $1M in spending, but also gets a credit of

Sam Altman and Ilya Sutskever have made several mentions of the idea that models are better at teaching models than humans are, in many cases. The next GPT iteration will involve a lot of AI-teaching-AI.
