- I have this book for my kid and love it!
- Seems the innovation of LLMs and these first movers is diminishing. Claude is still just chat with some better UI
- Congrats on the launch. I love this idea, excited to check it out. I wonder how this fits in with the probable rise of AR glasses
- This has been my go to podcast for bedtime or when I can’t sleep… the broad topics, depth of discussion and tone are all fantastic… the ONLY thing that bugs me is the volume of guests microphones not being equalized, so you get some guests on the same episode being so much quieter than others
- The Pudding is one of the bright spots of the internet for me. Does anyone have any recommendations for other new / blog interestings websites on the same level?
- My old boss was a tour rider in the early 90’s - he told me in 2012 that tiny motors were being used. I believe him.
- Part of me can’t help but think that scientific journals as billion dollar industries need to keep the status quo of how articles are written, where they get submitted and who reviews them. Even though per review today is failing
- Maybe it’s selection bias, but it’s amazing how the comments section for this post has so much more punctuation than a typical HN post; fascinating
- “Metrics: We combine user metrics and offline eval metrics, and employ both human and automated evaluation, particularly using LLM-as-a-judge techniques”.
I’m curious to know what people are doing to measure whether the customer got what they were looking for. Thumbs up/down seems insufficient to me.
The ability of the LLM to perform purely depends on having good knowledge of what is going to get asked and how, which is more complex than it sounds
What techniques are people having success with?
- Why would I need to use this over a flexible multi-agent framework? What’s the benefit?
- I’m using Typesense hybrid search, it does the job, well priced and is low-effort to implement. Feel free to ask any specific questions
- Their success in my opinion is having great content in a world where peers have degraded.
I recently went back to the guardian after 10yrs as NYT and even WSJ just got crappier in every way.
The Guardian podcast ‘long reads’ is so good. I hope they continue to thrive
- When and how to do stop saying LLMs are predicting the nect set of tokens and start saying they are thinking? Is this the point?
- It’s really interesting to see nvidia make a play higher up the AI stack. It really seems that generalist robots will be available in my lifetime. However, I have questions of their value. All of the demos look really slow, I do not think this is can be solved with more train data, but seems to suggest a current limit in the thinking- physical encoding and decoding of information and action, especially in humanoid robots which are a lot more complex
- All I see here is the pandemic boom in hiring
- Owner of high-end hybrid EV. Hybrids are still new to many car garages, which means skills to fix issues are not optimized. It took 3 weeks and $9k to figure out my hybrid wouldn’t start due to a faulty basic EV component (fortunately under warranty).
In addition cost of fuel cell replacement pushes up cost and risk of ownership and can be common at 70-80k miles.
I hate to say it, but I am actually considering a trade in for gasoline.
- The form factor for these improves acceptance but no doubt there has been a societal shift, so much more of our lives are captured, shared, communicated and entertained through individuals filming. If not your peers, the generation below you is a ‘video and image as communication’ generation.
- I own a pair and haven’t looked back. IMHO these have incredible utility and for me feel freeing. I have small kids and I want to capture those special small moments, but I refuse to pull out a phone to do so, small kids are so perceptive and they intuit something has changed when you pull out a phone to record. With the meta’s I just hit record and I don’t feel guilty or torn about recording. Granted, I don’t love how they look so I’m not always wearing them…
Seen some comments about juiced numbers, every teen interacts video first, that’s how they communicate with friends, not text, so I totally buy these numbers. Anecdotal, I’ve been to a couple of ray ban stores and staff say they sell like hot cakes and are sold out a lot of the time (obviously low production is a contributor, but point being they seem to have market fit)
Sure the method is different but it’s the same goal. Company x learns your interests so It can monetize you by selling to advertisers
