Around 2012 I was working near 5th Ave and 14th st, and there was a giant water main break. They had to dig about three stories down in a large intersection, and you could walk nea…

Disagree, words drift but they still mean things. Nobody building accounting software in the 90s called it AI (or even an expert systems, barring the most inventive salescritters).…

Horizon was accounting software - where is the connection to expert systems? Sounds like corporations can have bad motivations, and can make bad software - no AI required.

That paper shows hallucinations can't be eliminated, due to approximation error. But it is completely compatible with hallucination becoming less probable as scale reduces that app…

Feels like this could use a data driven way to normalize reference questions (topic and wording). This is missing a lot of right-initiated topics like immigration, gender roles, an…

The willingness to throw capital at AI is definitely doing some crazy things, but this article has some bad takes on the data. > [Ratio of per-token cost to subscription cost] mean…

Understood; these are the failure modes of cheap, weak tests in a system designed for expensive, high signal tests. I get that it is causing a real pain when these are introduced w…

"We shouldn't collect information because we don't know how to fit it into our care playbook" might be rational for a single patient, but it's a policy that will lock you into your…

Brains are efficient, but civilized humans aren't. In the USA, adults consume at a rate of about 10kW -- only 1-2% of that being the human's metabolism, the rest being HVAC, electr…

All major model providers offer prefix caching, which is this.

> data centers can be built basically anywhere this is especially true for AI use cases, where compute is hugely more important than latency / bandwidth > you have to provide a bon…

Friends on ML/AI hiring committees at top tier university are seeing foreign profs turn away record offers. Same for applied math relevant to material science. I expect you are rig…

Besides the brutal impact on those already invested in the American research community, this is one more nail in the coffin when it comes to competing for new talent. What research…

Besides deeply unpredictable factors (like signal transmission), most users of higher-level abstractions do so without certainty about how the translation will be executed. For exa…

An LLM model itself -- that is, the weights and the mathematical functions linking them -- does not tell you exactly how to train from data, nor how to generate an output. Instead,…

This is well said and good illustration of why optimality a fragile concept. High impact improvements often involve reframing the goal.

had the same question! looks like it's another project called Drawmode[1] from the same group... [1] https://github.com/teamchong/drawmode

If I understand this correctly, the pain is because you depreciated the assets in the first few years, offsetting other tax liabilities, and now you must pay those back even if exi…

You are describing products that change the information flow used to solve a problem. There are probably big gains there, but it requires everyone to come for the journey at the sa…

It's not even "whoa we have ethics", it's just "this is a bad look for us".

Thanks for confirming. I liked the clarity of outline but the AI-speak of the prose was really a slog.

I think many people would agree that the pursuit of that connection is valuable, even if it is never completed. Many of the same people (like me) would say that the biggest enemy o…

So do humans asked to answer tests. The appropriate thing is to compare to human performance at the same task. At most of these comprehension tasks, AI is already superhuman (in pa…

Your intuition is exactly correct. An investor with tax to offset can essentially access the same future upside at a discount However, this discussion will be a perfect introductio…
