There is some actual science here, just the studies aren't great. I have floaters and stumbled on research out of Taiwan related to this. Mostly out of Tiawan. There is some possib…

I just bought an LG induction stove, all knobs except oven temp setting.

How is that different than video input?

The biggest mistake is thinking that your aesthetics are "correct". You make it a personal slight when you espouse, that your aesthetic preferences are universal and then farther m…

There is a huge overhang. Same techniques and sometimes even the same models can drive a lot of robotics coordination and decision making. Here is probably one of the more clear ex…

It is like being in a city where Edison wired up lights.. and people are like..well I guess electricity has played out! We have only begun to extract the value of commoditized inte…

That is true, but I feel like sometimes if the conversation contains useful rational it can help to keep it. I think sometimes it is a judgement call, I will sometimes compress the…

That only makes sense if you don't sell access to the model for 3rd party product development. One of those products is chat personas/agents. The company integrating the model will…

Anticipatory token selection was obvious when you used structured output on gpt 3.5. The model would construct/hallucinate pre-conditions to satisfy some final output value that th…

I don't understand this. A skill critical to software engineering is learning how to learn. Just download Claude Code (or open alternative) and try to make things. See how it fails…

small models are good for "finding stuff" and "summarizing" in support of the large models.

I used to think this.. but I think my opinion is changing. The reason is that the leaders likely will be able to accelerate faster. So what you see is the market "stretching".. the…

In my opinion documentaries are too short anyway. I greatly prefer "The Great Courses" vs a 1-2 hour documentary. There I can listen to a 6 hours about the Olmec civilization.

The crazy thing is the level of effort to say, "have a sub agent validate all references and figures" is so low. I'm paraphrasing, but you don't need much more than that. It would …

Actually having used it a bit, I'm quite excited to see a modern model of similar size. I think what people didn't realize was, just because the GPT-4.5 model didn't get better on …

I'm still kind of surprised that people are targeting edge deployment of MoE models. By definition they optimize for computation cost at the expense of memory efficiency. We genera…

Sure, recreational mathematicians. Just like people that like to ride horses for fun.

I would also like it if the modular units could self drive so I can take my house on vacation.

"Neither Mr. Edison nor anyone else can override the well-known laws of Nature, and when he is made to say that the same wire which brings you light will also bring you power and h…

I've found just asking it to be "critical but constructive", goes a long long way.

This is such a naive take. Most of the nerdiest and most "quality" oriented engineers are hard leaning in to agentic coding. I feel like the most impressive engineers I know have a…

I do find it facinating that people don't realize the highest compression isn't the artifacts.. but what makes the artifacts.. a synthetic "mind". This is why we see evidence of em…

I think you are more right than people are giving you credit for. I would love to see the full transcript to understand the emotional load of the conversation. Using instructions l…

The parent said: "I argue that the model has no access to its thoughts at the time." This is falsified by that study, showing that on the frontier models generalized introspection …
