    Midjourney is not VC backed. They have a bit about this in the article: > As a reminder, Midjourney has no investors. We are a totally new kind of research lab. We've seen academic…

    Last time I tried home row mods I could not get over how bad it felt having the letter not appear until I lifted the key rather than immediately on the keypress. Am I just overly s…

    You could go with the title from the associated YouTube video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXUZvyajciY )? Andrej Karpathy — “We’re summoning ghosts, not building animals”

    I'm surprised this doesn't get brought up more often, but I think the main explanation for the divide is simple: current LLMs are only good at programming in the most popular progr…

    Here's an attempt at cleaning it up with Gemini 2.5 Pro: https://rentry.org/nyznvoy5 I just pasted the YouTube link into AI Studio and gave it this prompt if you want to replicate:…

    Which plugins are you using? I've been looking to upgrade my zsh experience so some suggestions would be helpful.

    OP is likely referring to people who call LLMs "stochastic parrots" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_parrot ), and by "doomers" (not boomers) they likely mean AI safetyis…

    Highly recommend Three-Body, the Chinese version of the Three-Body Problem. I enjoyed it much more than the Netflix adaptation, much closer to the source material, and more of a sl…

    The link the article uses to source the 60 GWh claim (1) appears to be broken, but all of the other sources I found give similar numbers, for example (2) which gives 50 GWh. This i…

    Couldn't find the JRE clip, but here's a recent one where he says "I don't really need more money." This is how I always understood it, he's already worth billions from past ventur…

    One point I haven't seen mentioned yet is that a11y provides obvious business value in that it forces devs to write better and more testable code. I first noticed this when using r…

    Apparently it is possible to measure how uncertain the model is using logprobs, there's a recipe for it in the OpenAI cookbook: https://cookbook.openai.com/examples/using_logprobs#…
