It’s a mistake to think these guys want to advance the cause for the general public.
It’s a tribal dance to elevate their status within their tribe.

This tells us more about the human who was looking for any reason to deny the refugee, rather than a shortcoming of AI.

As an ML engineer, “AI” is going to be commodity.
All that matters is who the end user trusts.
GPT wrappers that deliver a trusted product is a moat.

US has 2.6 doctors per 1000 vs SK at 3.7
US has 2.9 hospital beds per 1k vs SK’s 13
So no, unlikely mortality will play out the same here.

Deeper issue: Invitee has to fill their name:email like a peasant.
Better UX: should be customized links so your info is filled in when you click on it.

This is the same thing.
New Scissor statements have inherent vitality that current algos will boost, because that’s what they are designed to do.

@vkhosla
I’m not so certain.
You still need creativity that transformers do not currently have.
One still needs to imagine the right question to be asked.
GPTX will be indispensable like a notepad but need STEM brains for the right questions.

You are a veteran.
AI Twitter sadly is polluted by hype boys who breathlessly tweet about every paper.
Which you know, probably won’t hold up anyway.
But it drives news cycles.

Conference talks are advertisements, not reality.
This is esp true in ML World where people like to talk about grandiose architectures but what is likely generating revenue at their company, is usually super simple.

But it’s easy to blame generics :)
I thought I was bad at Maths till 8th grade.
Then I had one good teacher (retired Oxford) that showed me the beauty.
I went on to get another degree in Maths.
Persistence, not genetics.

Though I disagree with the agent.
AI certainly won't kill us all, but an MBA armed with AI will.
Complex systems have many 'side effects'.
E.g
- Solve World Hunger => dead people aren't hungry
- Restore wildlife => releases virus targeting humans
@paulg
I think it’s good to examine why this might be happening.
My guess - reproductive rights affect women disproportionately.
So what we are seeing is lack of empathy for the fairer sex.
Not necessarily a flight to the right on other issues like DEI, Immigration, etc

1. Data is never clean
2. Anything beyond sums of cubes requires custom code.
3. Performance
4. Performance - yup, really
5. Typically needed for something downstream, like ML

Final point, if displacement extremely large and fast, too much inequality with not enough time to reacquaint, creates a violent counter revolution.
@WKNDRD
@shaig
Indeed. They will, just like with unabomber.
On a large enough population, there will be some who will ape into the tending topic.
They will then be rewarded by the algorithm for adding to momentum.
This is a common recommendation problem, not specific to TikTok.
@mbateman
Don’t use the word spicy when you give them. If they see someone is scared, they won’t like it.
Just give them a little bit on their plate like normal.
If they don’t like it, just say “thank you for trying”

Guessing you haven't made a roti or papad either :)
Fire is lindy.
The main issue is hermetically sealed rooms we live in. Given COVID and CO2, perhaps people should crack open a window?

Over the past 24 hours, thousands of TikToks (at least) have been posted where people share how they just read Bin Laden’s infamous "Letter to America," in which he explained why he attacked the United States.
The TikToks are from people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and
@jackclarkSF
Not all revolutions are created equal. The two factors are:
- displacement
- speed
For example, from buggy -> car, massive displacement of stables. Speed was fast. Lots found themselves without jobs quick.
Speed slow for Gutenberg press.
@yoavgo
I tried it. Then found it got in the way.
So went to openAI APIs directly.
I suppose it would be nice for a level of abstraction if I wanted to switch providers.
But I want deeper access (activations for last n layers), not shallow.

When skill is scarce, demonstrating skill is valuable.
With flooded supply, random stamps/verifications are inevitable.

It’s because every time we have contacted alienated tribes (see Brazil’s various experiments), they have died.
Common cold can be deadly to them.
It’s complicated by well meaning missionaries.
AFAIK, IBM Watson is Bayesian consulting services + data mart. I don’t think there is any deep learning (what they are implying by AI).
A lot of smart people work there, wish more worked on engineering than sales
@jasoncrawford
It’s an improvement, but overstating the claims (DeepMind does this often).
I think the earliest on this path was learned index
It’s just another stepping stone

@CFDevelop
I’d actually caution juniors to use it.
I’d recommend 20/20/20 rule - try for 20 minutes, if you’re still stuck, take a walk. Then try again for another 20.
If you’re still stuck, ask a senior (now chatGPT/Claude maybe).
Without first 60, they don’t have good questions.
Yeah this is all very shi shi.
More realistic: AutoGPT + voice synthesis hooked to get cheap flight tickets, realizes that some well placed, impersonated calls can bring down the price of a ticket.

Glad you asked.
Eg are you sure you know binary search?
It took 20 years to find this bug in nearly all implementations.
Everyone who implemented the original got an A+, but no one looked deep enough.
@akelleh
We use conda + docker. It’s my fault for starting with conda and then realizing we need docker anyway.
I’m wondering now if we need conda/virtualenv in that combo at all. Isn’t just docker + pip enough? Can also install R the regular way. No need to worry about OSes either
there's an incredible story going on in the mountaineering community rn. there's a Malaysian climber who was at death's door, and was rescued by a sherpa who risked his own life to carry his lifeless body on his back for 6 hours. The climber then blocked the sherpa on Instagram
