If you have enough of those to send, seems like something easy enough to A/B test. You only have a few sentences before an email recipient marks your email as spam. If one of those mentions your YC batch and that's what keeps thei

I have never seen a programmer as excited to tell me about something like, say, Duff's Device as I've seen one excel user hear another ask "what're pivot tables"? and to have the other reply "Let me show you.

It's not obvious (to me, at least), that a large language model would ever have any of the characteristics of ChatGPT. GPT-2 is neat to play around with, but it's just so far away from ChatGPT(-3.5 or -4) that I didn't see

Given what the West did to China in the Opium wars, we would do well to teach history better. They say those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it. Well here we are and it seems the CCP's learned from the past. Have we?
