Its also a common misconception that all glutamates are MSG (thats one salt of glutamate) and that all umami compounds are simple glutamate salts. So while MSG is an excellent "neu…

Looking at the statistics that are used to measure growth and performance at a population level are such a great window into how they themselves are opinionated stances. The two me…

That sounds like a tough realization to come to, and has been an opposite of my experiences in startups (as a non founder). Ive sought them out because the leadership cares so frea…

I can appreciate this sentiment. I am someone who favors a resign vote over a let it play in 8v8, and when i was thinking about why i think its that in a lobby based system like ba…

While i appreciate that this is a valid link. I would argue that its political stance is clear: its framing of this as "Biden’s border crisis", and its sourcing is poor: referencin…

In a small team, or an aware team, where AI is being used all the time and we are figuring out the best way to do it, i often just preface my messages with - "from my ai to yours" …

Id disagree with this analogy: "No carpenter is a specialist in drills." and i think its an interesting lens through which to look at the evolution of our tools. I think there are …

the python cookbook is good. and fluent python is more from principles rather than application (obvs both python specific). I also like philosophy of software design. tiny little b…

This is just the best. A very serious company, doing seriously cool and important stuff, also has an anime name/icon. I wish more corps took themselves so lightly, while remaining …

I made the same gut assumption, and it points to either poor writing, or deliberately misreading writing that they mix units like that in the same paragraph, where presumably the i…

Id guess by your smile there is an element of humor in your response, so this isn't a rebuttal, but rather i identified a lot with your point, and I was thinking that this is such …

I find the money stuff newsletter by Matt Levine (bloomberg) great for this, the link is behind a paywal, but the newsletter is free. strong rec. todays newseltter https://www.bloo…

thank you so much! i suffered with this, and now i never will again!

ok, even that "few thousand examples" heuristic is useful. the usecase would be to run this task over id say somewhere in the order of magnitude of 100k extractions in a run, batch…

Only to prompt thought on this exact question, im interested in answers: I just ran a benchmark against haiku of a very simple document classification task that at the moment we fa…

I was aware of the patent, and agree i think its overly narrow and you could get around it easily. I think the reason we haven't seen it or something like it in another game (or i …

And to separate my thoughts from the info blob: i think the culture war point is also super true of the game design industry, not just the consumers, where the already ultra compet…

Only because it is something i find fascinating: > There are those Orcs in that one Lord of the Rings game who hold grudges against you. Is referring to the nemesis system in Middl…

Climatealigned | Onsite | London We've spent the last three years making climate finance data at a fraction of the time and cost using AI. We started pre GPT and have continued to …

This whole comment thread here is really echoing and adding to some thoughts ive had lately on the shift from considering LLMs replacing engineering to make software (much of which…

I am continually surprised by the reference to "voluntary actions taken by companies" being brought up in discussion of the risks of AI, without some nuance given to why they would…

My understanding is that modern mobile phone cameras do heaps of "stacking" across multiple axes focus, exposure, time etc to compose a photo that saves onto your phone. I believe …

Almost an esolang, but orca is an amazing example of spatial programming for music production (GH https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Orca and video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g…

For small models this is for sure the way forward, there are some great small datasets out there (check out the tiny stories dataset that limits vocab to a certain age but keeps co…

We built a little LLM use -> energy and carbon footprint calculator at work to spark some discussion with our user base about the impact of using AI to solve problems in the climat…
