Notably the scaling law paper shows result graphs on log-scale

Yann LeCun discussed why LLMs are not enough for AGI on Lex Fridman pod: https://youtu.be/5t1vTLU7s40?t=138

> (more resources = closer to intelligence) The scaling law only states that more resources yield lower training loss ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_scaling_law ). So for a…

Seriously though when is HiFi coming out?

Coding interviews are a lossy process. Once you realize this the angst of rejection softens and it becomes an almost mechanical effort.

Don't overlook sources of anti-productivity which might be easier to measure like the time it takes to build & test code changes.

If you're a photographer, the low tech way of doing this is just use a polarizing filter

This. As you get into later stages, check sizes become bigger and so does risk aversion + due diligence.

Non-zero probability I think, one interesting measure of overfitting I've seen is contamination (where the model has seen the exact questions it is being evaluated on) see stats at…

ZIRP is over and startups are back to hard mode > In 2021 and the first half of 2022 (when most of the 2022 activity happened) we essentially crammed 5 years worth of funding into …

Sort by citations ( https://dl.acm.org/action/doSearch?SeriesKey=cacm&sortBy=cit... ) to see the most seminal ones.

Would be interesting to see a time to exit histogram. Estimating from the current status chart it seems like every 4 years about 25% will exit.

It's useful for streaming data where you want to pass small chunks of data incrementally. JSON by itself isn't streamable (you need the entire blob to decode it). But if we just pa…

Major drawback of Apple Hi Res is that Apple headphones dont support it (bluetooth is lossy), and even their recommended 3.5mm adapter converts it down to 48kHz ( https://support.a…

Even Tidal has questionable HiFi ( https://youtu.be/pRjsu9-Vznc )

> In venture markets, I think we’re only 10% into the pain that we’ve delayed given the large cash balances of startups. 2025 is probably the year of max pain in the venture ecosys…
