Far in the future? Just 6 months ago, people believed that ChatGPT like model would take 10-15 years more. I believe that Andrew himself doesn't really understand how LLMs work. In particular, wh…

And remember Transistors?

I'm not sure you'll find such a video. Emergence is a phenomenon that's not yet well-understood. (But if you do find it somewhere, let me know as well!)

Why invent when you can just... "borrow" them? In all seriousness, though, LLMs are about data and computing which I'm pretty sure China has in droves. In fact, no walled-gardens exist …

And that is why even though Mathematics aptly represents the nature, it, at least to me, is a different thing entirely. Which again begs the question, why should Mathematics be so good at depicting na…

And it's even more important in posts of power and responsibility. Carry the public office not because you want money, appreciation, and power, but because as a qualified person it's your du…

I did say that this school of thought has roots in Stoicism so what you say does indeed make sense. But I guess there's more to it which can only be found if you follow it. There are some things …

Interesting outlook this: seek reward, but internal, as opposed to don't seek reward at all.

That's a very valid point but I believe you touched upon the answer yourself, follow the advice but not because you want the exceptional discovery. Simply because.

This is a mix of Buddhist, Hindu, and Stoic philosophy: Ask yourself this, why do you do anything? For the sake of Profit? Recognition? Love? Or return of any kind? Any deed done with reward in mind c…

The blog post starts with the premise that you "don't" know any calculus.

I think at the end of it it's primarily always the same reason: didn't have customers.

Seeing as how stress usually corresponds to a fight or flight situation, running really does seem apt to deal with it. Now you could potentially argue that drinking while thirsty actually leads to d…

> oh shit it's hacker news I've heard that people from the orange VC site are linking to this post! You are absolutely not welcome here. Cohost is not a place for you. you are bad and you…

Modafinil is a prescription drug. I'm not sure why you're recommending it as if it were advil.

Almost seems like a procedural syntax like source = ... transformed = ... joined = ... final = ...

AIMA by Russel and Norvig is a must read IMO.

What are your thoughts on Godot?

It's fairly easy to learn, already universal, and there is no incentive at all for 99% of people to change it (only a fraction of the population would ever want the super fast typing, rest of us …

A productivity problem is not always psychological, often it's physiological (sleep, inflammation, nutrition) as well. By my PCP. Seriously, go get checked (and presumably treated) for Vit D/…

I understand how you do it but I don't understand why that is eloquent and poetic. I wouldn't want someone to constantly choose related but incorrect concepts. That wouldn't really be a…

As a child, presumably like many others, I was pretty enthralled by the concept of magic, magical formations, spells, and etc. And it was equally disheartening to not find oneself in such a world. But…

So people (unless they have aphantasia) immerse themselves in whatever they are reading and conjure up imaginations of the world that the fictional novel is portraying, right? If you think about it, w…

I feel that the author adequately explained why writing is important but never quite justified why it is magical . I was hoping to read more about how writing is essentially a hypnosis spell where …
