Thanks for sharing. Have you prodded the model with various inputs and written an article that show various output examples? I'd love to get an idea of what sort of "end product" 4…

I'm not sure what it's called (abstraction vs. indirection) but I dislike when everything needs a class/object with some odd combination of curried functions. Some programming lang…

Surprised the author didn't coin "fauxltruism".

Using EEG to predict thought is like looking at the clouds in Mumbai to predict the clouds in Austin. The electrical signal from individual neurons are lost in a sea of large-scale…

Very excited to see what Sam & Greg are up to in the coming months! Guys like this don't just run away with their tails between their legs. They will be back.

Agree, moving the weights inefficiently will end up working the muscles you don't necessarily target in your main workout. It's less efficient, but probably gives a (very slightly)…

Deep fakes were always a huge concern for me in AI. That's just one way AI can be weaponized, and this example is very clear on the damage caused. Thankfully Twitter quickly correc…

Neat and probably works on most dishwasher models, but not enough temperature precision for my comfort level. I wouldn't trust it. Rather just pan fry or bake myself a salmon. I do…

Engineer who implements correct, comprehensible code but doesn't manage ticket statuses is more valuable than one who manages ticket statuses but scatters the codebase with technic…

Vindicated and excited. Gradient descent is likely not enough. I love it when we get closer to something but are still missing the answer. I would be very happy if "add more parame…

That's not how it goes down in practice, where a Chief Diversity Officer's job is to control diversity, rather than to let it flourish. The only "rules and arrangements" that trick…

Having a Chief Diversity Officer to fix a lack of diversity in my mind is no different than having a Chief Culture Officer to fix a poor company culture. Those sorts of problems ca…

Vivek Ramaswamy? Is that you? He's currently on Mario Nawfal's Twitter space saying this exact thing lmao.

Breaks down at high width and low thickness.

I entered a paragraph from the beginning of this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_space I selected several different voices, but it only generated between 2 and 11 sec…

1. Does Google inform you that you have asked a bad or unproductive question? 2. Does Google guarantee the links it provides you with contain high quality and relevant information?…

This is a great way to formulate the difference. In my mind, Google does search, which is not the same as synthesis. ChatGPT is a synthesis engine. I think there is room for engine…

The key thing to understand about Google (the search product) is that it does search somewhat well but it is extremely bad at synthesis. When it comes to big data, synthesis is jus…

I don't think anyone who has played enough with ChatGPT is championing the notion that ChatGPT itself will replace Google. They are more so steel-manning the argument that Google m…

This is why I sleep with a box fan on low at night. Does wonders for sleep and tranquility... People tend to lump all sorts of noise into "white" noise, including fans, but fans ar…

I assume it depends on your gut microbiome and physical habits.

Jira was supposed to help us do the work, not become the work. We have at least three people employed who's sole responsibility is to pester people about ticket status, apply bulk …

I'd wager that 90%+ of "tech" companies are hiring software engineers to "solve" technical problems that have already been solved in order to solve business problems that have not …

This is a simplistic reduction of what many senior programmers do. In my experience these so-called "jiggle programmers" are ones who actually ship code and meet business needs. So…

Equifax asking me to input my SSN to see this data... hmm.
