    Super interesting. I am always wondering where the bridge between symbolic programs and inline connectionist approaches could be. LLMs can call traditional programs "in process" as…

    1/ Agreed, better naming convention and model layout 2/ It isn't, there would be many more comparison benchmark results if it were, but also - theatrics may be marketing 3/ Disagre…

    Selfishly, I hope this doesn't reduce to 0 the amount of time he spends doing educational content, which seems like a particular strength of his. I presume this means Eureka Labs i…

    All of this is true and credit assignment is hard, but the brutal competition between Chinese firms, especially in manufacturing, differentiates them from and advances them over ec…

    I think the Tailwind case is more complicated than this, but yes - I think it's reasonable to want to contribute something to the common good but fear that the value will dispropor…

    Yeah, more or less. Being in the application space as well as the inference space hedges a variety of risks, that inference margins will squeeze, that competition will continue to …
