    This is a great book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading. She was extremely fair to Facebook executives.

    So, you oppose their desire to diversify their funding? NPR gets 10% of their funding from tax dollars. Who you are harming is small rural public radio stations in red areas.

    As soon as you need to start leaning heavily on error correction, that is an indication that your architecture and solution is not correct. The final solution will need to be elega…

    This is actually a lazy approach as you describe it. Instead, what is needed is an elegant and simple approach that is 99% of the way there out of the gate. Soon as you start doing…

    When an architecture is based around world model building, then it is a casual outcome that similar concepts and things end up being stored in similar places. They overlap. As soon…

    The alternative architectures must learn from streaming data, must be error tolerant and must have the characteristic that similar objects or concepts much naturally come near to e…

    Any transformer based LLM will never achieve AGI because it's only trying to pick the next word. You need a larger amount of planning to achieve AGI. Also, the characteristics of L…

    Only Transformer based architectures are over. It amazes me that everyone so fetishizes Transformer architectures that they cannot imagine alternative--when the alternative is obvi…

    The first thing you need to understand is that no current llm based, transformer architected AI is going to get to agi. The design in essence is not capable of that kind of creativ…

    You need to start looking for big problems to solve. It was once said by a guy named Bruce Williams who knew what he was talking about that the way to get rich is to solve a proble…

    What a bunch of petty sons of b***. Trump has aesthetics against electric cars, and that seems doubly bizarre since his partner is Elon Musk. But this is just extreme and ridiculou…

    News for you. Elon Musk is not an engineer. Elon Musk does not know computer science. Yes, he's able to read books and learn subjects but he has never worked as a software engineer…

    When a foreign key field is left empty, that implies that no foreign key relationship was claimed. By definition a primary key cannot be no. But a foreign key, which is a represent…

    For years I have been printing PDFs off on regular paper and then binding them into books. 1. Print it at work when no one is looking. 2. Get two rigid boards and squeeze the stack…
