A ring you can talk into and it controls an agent on your phone. Eg say "pick me up" and an Uber arrives. Looking for people who know hardware well. Let's get to know one another o…

thanks for catching this!

it's a lot of work, but something you could do is track how you feel (manually or some other way) and do a similar statistical analysis. chess elo was just convenient and aligned f…

thank you! i think it's ridiculous how little they invest in their developer ecosystem. i have been thinking about jumping ship to oura or whoop simply because of this.

This misses that agentic LLMs are trained via RL to use specific tools. Adding custom tools is subpar to those the model has been trained with. That's why Claude Code has an advant…

i have a different take. i'm very glad flat earthers exist. in general i would hope the population of people who believe an idea be proportional to the probability of its truth. so…

language will be the next interface to software. to get software to do something, you will simply ask it. this work is an example. i've been documenting this theme in a twitter thr…

I think this is generally a good answer, but keep in mind I said AGI "in text". My forecasting is that within 3 years you will be able to give arbitrary text commands and get the t…

what is the difference between zero-shot learning in text and AGI? not saying there isn't one, but can you state what it is?you can express any intent in text (unlike other media).…

i think you are assuming that what is happening under the hood is that a human-inputted sentence is being parsed into a grammar. it is not.

Zero shot and few-shot learning in GPT-3 and lack of significant diminishing returns in scaling text models. Zero-shot learning is equivalent to saying "i'm just going to ask the m…

AGI in text is < 3yrs away.

I think these are good examples, but to me "linear algebra thinking" lies in it's generality. For example, the derivative is a linear operator, so how do you write it down as a mat…

80/20 rule? Make the problem simpler and deliver a better solution for it. Revisit and grow the problem space as needed.
