  1. Enjoy listening to Drake for the rest of your life.
  2. Everyone knows that music is the objectively superior art form. Perhaps excluding film, which, putting aside scant creative geniuses, requires music and scoring.

    Anyone who could live on this planet without music is a psycopath.

  3. I also happened to have a schizophrenic father. So I looked into this one a little bit :D
  4. Nobody is born with schizophrenia.
  5. ultimately, it comes down to training data and character count

    llms can be better than most humans at applescript

    just need a fuck ton in context

  6. It is definitely scary if the good PMs who are solid at authoring requirements are able to just make it happen. Not worried for the most part tho.
  7. Sure, if it's good, it works, it's reliable and people like it.
  8. I'd been interested in Mintlify and their documentation platform for a while.

    I saw this pop up based on this Reddit thread and on Twitter as well:

    This seems serious? Is this really serious?

    Why would they need to save these tokens in the first place?

  9. manic psychosis and paranoid schizophrenia are indistinguishable

    the only difference is, one can recover from manic psychosis

  10. quite misinformed.

    ~1/3 of bipolar people fall into the category you are describing – rapid-cycling bipolar.

    for the rest, the cycles are months long, whether manic, euthymic, or depressed, and often following seasonal patterns.

    clinical bipolar disorder vs. the ups and downs of human life are quite different. it's difficult to understand unless you have seen a loved one suffer it, or have been afflicted with it yourself.

  11. "Their tuition is expensive" – i.e. their fee structure excludes most American families from even having the university in their child's consideration set – is a valid reason to have them pay taxes, actually.
  12. Washington is not diverse. The state's Asian population does not rank in the top 5 in the nation.
  13. We all like different things.

    I've tried many of the different lives, and there's nothing better than being in close quarters for me.

  14. GPT–2 was the first model that created long-form and coherent text.

    The research led to a technology with a simple use case: input / output.

    The "product" is a chatbot. input / output.

    There is no innovation in interface or product design.

    All the magic – all the "product innovation" is in it creating coherent text output.

    (OpenAI's UI is not really that great).

    All attempts at "product" (as in serving a specific use case tailored to a specific business or commercial workflow) that OpenAI have led to date – i.e. plugins – have been a huge flop.

    I am uncertain who is behind assistants interface design to make RAG so easy. It's usability is underpinned by the larger context window of GPT-4T.

    All of the magic is in the underlying technology. And I think Ilya's at the core of it. Yes, Attention Is All We Need is the Google paper that invented the transformer.

    Ilya also worked at Google and was a key part of the ecosystem, and I imagine had indirect (and most likely very direct) contributions.

    He is one of the most cited computer scientists of all time.

    Without Ilya, I don't think we'd have the hype right now.

    Someone would have come to the same conclusion, I'm sure.

  15. To what extent it Ilya the brains behind this entire wave?

    As in – without him – this LLM craze, as we know it and as it has manifested – would not exist today?

    My understanding is that he is at the center of all of it.

    NY Mag said that Sam Altman is the Oppenheimer, I think it's Ilya.

  16. if the amount of human and financial capital invested in ridesharing and autonomous vehicles was instead invested in mass transit in the US, nyc wouldn't be the only city in the nation where not owning a car is a (legitimate, long term) option without sacrifices
  17. is the prompt any more sophisticated than? "do a ux audit on this page with the format "problem" and "solution" with tags messaging, cro, usability, marketing, etc"

    or rather, significantly more?

    this seems super, super simple.

  18. If that was unavoidable, you'd see thousands of people on the streets of the five boroughs walking around with grease all over their arms and pants. Hilarious image.
  19. You fold it then you eat it.

    I cannot think of a single slice shop (non-chain) in NY / NJ where you they produce pies like you describe. They are making the pizza from scratch.

    They reheat the slices until they run out of a pie. Then they make a new pie and put it on the counter.

    I think what you mean is that most most New York style pizza outside of greater New York area is not great. I don't know what I'd call it.

    Standard fare, affordable pizza in the US is mediocre outside of the North East. But that's OK, we can't even BBQ.
