"The Pivot-Count from P0 to P5 is a method used to identify a potential trend reversal (and has nothing to do with Gann). Its rule is simple: Once P5 is reached, the count starts over from P0, just in the opposite direction. As we can

Do you really think that the university is going to be the bottleneck? I have to imagine that sometime in the next decade, there's going to be some big reorganization to reflect the fact that you can now learn just as well OUTSIDE of a

These all sound like factors that make hardware a better long-term prospect to build a career around. Basically every single thing you just mentioned makes the field more resistant to automation.

I have to say that I enjoyed this read but the article was quite thin. Basically the dude got invited to a Bezos retreat, he brought his whole family, his kids got sick and his wife broke her wrist, and Bezos didn't react in the way he

Does anyone have any plans for what to do with all these chips and things once they are obsolete? I can't imagine they are all just going to go to some scrap heap.

It's like they're trying to speedrun a massive backlash to AI. I wonder if this is some form of accelerationism.

Yeah, it's pretty wild, huh? I'm at one of the big tech companies and the strategy that I've fallen into is to basically just mostly coast, save / invest as much as possible, and hope that this gets me to a financial thr

Eh, I think there are valid counterarguments to that. Buying property under the current ruling system buys you exclusive rights to that property while that ruling system is in power, and you can use that time to make preparations and such t

Hmm. So you're saying that he's intentionally overhyping the danger of ML models in a cynical play to eliminate open models through regulation or backlash, when in reality there is no danger. But if this is the case why isn't

Yes, absolutely. Is this really so hard to understand? The guy literally founded SpaceX. Of course I'm going to take him seriously. At least a lot more seriously than some no name journalist who proclaims that the founder of SpaceX is

Are you really this stupid? Elon's not a journalist, dude. He's a tech CEO who founded SpaceX.

Care to actually explain rather than post reddit-tier snark?

Whatever point this article is trying to make is just completely overshadowed by the dripping vitriol. Musk has a "head full of room temperature butterscotch"? Come on. It's hard to take any of the rest seriously once you rea

Who the hell cares? We're about to invent a certain technology, known as AI. Imagine being able to generate a video of a dog on a skateboard, or an elephant flying to the moon. A "hothouse earth" is a small price to pay - we

I mean yeah, but that's why there are far more research avenues these days than just pure LLMs, for instance world models. The thinking is that if LLMs can achieve near-human performance in the language domain then we must be very clos

Well, I tried to specifically frame it in a neutral way, to outline the thinking that pretty much all the major nations / companies currently have on this topic.

There is a certain logic to it though. If the scaling approaches DO get us to AGI, that's basically going to change everything, forever. And if you assume this is the case, then "our side" has to get there before our geopolit

I agree with you with the caveat that all the "ease of building" benefits, for me, could potentially be dwarfed by job losses and pay decreases. If SWE really becomes obsolete, or even if the number of roles decrease a lot and&#x2

I've always wondered... if Lidar + Cameras is always making the right decision, you should theoretically be able to take the output of the Lidar + Cameras model and use it as training data for a Camera only model.

The guy's a master of spin, no doubt. I don't know how you start out with the concept of ads in AI chatbots and end with "This time belongs to the builders, not the people who want to control them." What a bunch of gener

I'm for AI the technology. Who doesn't want cool sci-fi future tech? But I'm against AI being co-opted by our dear leaders to end white collar work and lock us all in a permanent underclass.

I have no doubt that someday in the future these world models will revolutionize gaming. However, they are clearly very far off from that point in capability, not to mention the cost. And a lot of these articles I'm seeing are confiden

Thank you for the explanation. I guess the thing I don't understand is what exactly the problems are that you are seeing. We've all heard the stories of wooden parts in initial production runs of Tesla models, sure. But it does se

I don't really get this take... not when Tesla is by a wide mile the world's most valuable automaker. How does Tesla ending production of the S and X equate to the old auto establishment "stomping over them"?

Honestly, how long do you guys think we have left as SWEs with high pay? Like the SWE job will still exist, but with a much lower technical barrier of entry, it strikes me that the pay is going to decrease a lot. Obviously BigCo codebases a

This was my issue with platforms like Sentry. Turns out, in a decently used prod web app with a lot of dependencies, there's a lot of noise. After spending hours trying to debug some of these only to conclude that they were not debugga
