Interesting point. I think there might be something special about sag given the way Hollywood does business. Everyone switches employers constantly as projects spin up and wind dow…

Nice, very LTL

The bibliography is more important, imo, than the peer review. I get the most use of arxiv surfing references and citations.

This take is oversimplified to where it’s literally scary - heres an honest book about the Rothchilds Bankers and Zionists with the additional context I hope you incorporate. https…

Sandberg built the company that polluted everything with this cynical influencer economy. Schmidt built the company that turned users into the product.

Oh yeah, his decision here updated my mental model a lot

I’m lucky to have more than my share of really exceptional programmers to hang out with and they all say the same thing: “I haven’t been writing code for months and don’t expect to…

What if you are going to spend 5400 either way, you go all agent or get an apprentice and an agent for them too.

This is the freshest take I have ever seen. Kudos, so cool. My professional career has been 20 years of physical ai research and now industry. My dad insisted I take corporate acco…

Pushing 20 years in industry and this is the best take I’ve heard

as I understand, Bell Labs mandate was to improve the network, which had tons of great threads to pull on: plastics for handsets, transistors for amplification, information theory …

They are differentiable which allows for image based rendering via solving the inverse of the rendering function via gradient decent

Absolutely! These techniques are the key unlocks to robustifying AI and creating certifiable trust in their behavior. Starting with pre-deep neural network era stuff like LQR-RRT t…

We always called this “monetizing the brand” and it’s been annoying me since at least when Sperry when private equity and the shoes stopped being multi-year daily drivers

Is it possible that regardless of what they pay they think Anthropic is negative margin on it?

This true - and git was not a moving target. AI core tech has certainly slowed down but still moving fast enough to make hard won lessons worthless and investing in learning them q…

After becoming familiar with the reality of the cost inflation of (in my case local government real estate) development projects vs private I chalked it up to graft, incentives, an…

I love this quote. mankind having been to space already, the rockets are the sideshow to the way they designed and grew an org that delivered them along with a great business, star…

Is it odd or is it kinda central to the point? It’s exceptional that people centrally organized a huge amount of effort and resources towards something imagined by countless humans…

Given the circumstances and the relatively low dollars involved, it would be interesting to see the experiment: $10B darpa program to establish a scalable fab ecosystem in 5 years …

It’s super debatable whether or not DARPA has done more for creating enterprise value in the US tech sector than sand hill. At the least, without darpa the whole Bay Area machine w…

This comment gives me mixed feelings and some nostalgia for when our company was < 100 people and one of the core software teams was called “meow” - today we call it human robot in…

For those wondering how to connect PID to the foundations of AI. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybernetics

I like this metaphor about electric lighting. However, having lived in two ~1850 houses, they sure look and function a lot like they did before electricity, despite nearly every el…

I’ve worked in this field for 20+ years and as far as I can tell the only consistent colloquial definition of AI is “things lay people are surprised a computer can do right now”
