These are best understood as scheduled tasks for the AI instead of tasks for the user.

Yeah: the value of (good) OKRs is as a proof of work for the process of aligning teams' vectors with business objectives / each other.

This integration is way more limited and frictioned. Whereas with search Apple's fully outsourced and queries go straight to your 3rd-party default, Siri escalates to GPT only for …

The trendline is definitely toward increasing dynamic routing, but I suspect it's more so that MoE/MoD/MoDE enable models to embed additional facts with less superposition within t…

Hey HN - I'm excited to introduce Liveform, a tool that enables you to create and deploy AI agents with ease. With it, you can: 1) Initialize a chat agent with a specific objective…

I think it's reasonable as an early-ish stage startup to say to a candidate that ~"eventually, with scale, there will be cool and impactful ML opportunities here" as long as you're…

Sure, not releasing the full trained model probably delays it, but sooner or later a bad actor will do their own scraping and train their own model and share it around and the geni…

My biggest criticisms of Google News are: 1) low signal-to-noise ratio - i.e., lots of duplicative stories, publishers are commoditized, and there are no mechanisms to distinguish …

I mean...corporations consist of people (i.e., employees) with feelings and values which - at least to some extent - govern their collective choices and actions. Granted it's tough…

I don't think there's any cause to abandon p-values and NHST if you're running experiments with high power and intelligent, deliberate priors. With power = 0.8 and p(h1) = 0.6, p(h…
