It was a show that should have been two seasons, which they stretched into five.

I'm honestly confused as to why it is doing this and why it thinks I'm right when I tell it that it is incorrect. I've tried asking it factual information, and it asserts that it's…

Time to break up Google.

Autoregressive models can't just resume so they have to re-parse the entire prompt again for each execution. By caching them they resume from where it left off from before thereby …

> If you're ever in a situation similar to this, run as fast and as far as you can. I really really want to underscore this point. You're literally standing on top of ground and un…

Windows 7 wouldn't have saved them if they used Crowdstrike. This was the problem. :-/

He got us out of Afghanistan too... this was a huge win and was very risky. Doesn't get enough credit for this one. Agreed on NATO + Ukraine too but I wish they would allow us to s…

All this old SGI and SUN equipment was super cool. It was all before my time but it was all super high end and really well built.

Thanks for posting this. I with more people were aware of this law.

Feature that benefits who? the VCs? I think that's what you're trying to say (with sarcasm). Correct me if I'm wrong though.

2024 ..year of Linux on the Desktop!

Most startup founders and early employees make about 1/2 of what they can working for MAANG companies. IMO this leads to the following problems: 1. Most startups that COULD exist a…

Yeah... rock hard!

There must be a relationship here between Shannon's estimation that english is 1 bit of entropy per character and is highly redundant and 'easy' to predict. A highly advanced AI co…

I want ONE breakthrough like this in my lifetime. Something completely game changing.

It's like hearing stories about people hating the first automobiles because they weren't horses. The education bubble is about to implode - it will probably be one of the first ind…

It's really disturbing to me how many people don't realize it's not possible. It's like asking a 747 to be made into a dog. It's completely nonsensical to me.

Not me. I'm working hard not to die. I have a whole plan for it :)

I'd go further and say if only corporations with government license are allowed to create LLMs, then we should NOT have LLMs. Let the market develop organically.

In the 2000s I was addicted to Elisp and contributed a ton of OSS code including JDE, EDEE, and tons of other tools. But... I had just a MASSIVE amount of code that was literally j…

That's not really what's happening here I think. I think he's just not sure what's ok or not ok to write about. Nothing he wrote here was problematic. No secrets and just sort of m…

The next major leap in LLMs (in the next year) is probably going to be the prompt context size. Right now we have 2k, 4k, 8k ... but OpenAI also has a 32k model that they're not re…

Unlike crypto.... agents can actually DO things that people find valuable.

I started working on my own version of this but what I found is that the text extraction part is the key. I looked at using MathPix but it has images as part of its output. That wo…

I am definitely not in favor of OSS license for models >= GPT3... Not unless they're aligned well. There are all sorts of horrible use cases that these could be used for.
