Check in with your friends, we're about to enter a turbulent time at the tail of the exponential and the psychological onslaught is going to get ugly. I already have one that I very much regret not reaching out to sooner....
it required me telling it to "focus on the actual process" and then a small feedback on "the roll looks right but it's not triangular shape"...I love it's reasoning though

I hate that these are in Farenheit, but the funny thing is that the south pole station is below the limit where Celsius and Farenheit become equal (-40) so the relationship flips and (F>C now becomes C>F)

opus 4.5 sort of sucked in ML tasks, it constantly got architecture stuff wrong, had to be corrected on data loader stuff, claude code would really go back and forth so many times if you deviated just slightly from training data...but 4.6 just nails it man, wth
4.6 is really 'all business' huh? I try to yass queen it so hard and it keeps a straight face
The mills did pay less than the men used to make weaving, but to women, who got nothing through the old way, this was financial independence.
Ugh I've put this off for a long time, but it's clear I need to undust leetcoding now...it's so dumb honestly
Drifting models are neat but it does seem we lost something when the field started being obsessed with few shot distribution deformations instead of focusing on informative processes
*conjuring an insufferable smirk*: but that's not quite bayesian is it claudey?
poor economists, they are lost beings trying to exchange in a currency of rationality that has long been abandoned by this world
Excellent point, if you in any way move you'll be only accelerating towards the singularity, except if it's a ring singularity, you might be able to maneuver and miss it. Good luck.

Every few months I revisit my pet project of doing optimization on exotic spaces (particularly for discrete things). It's really really hard to find something that beats recasting the problem as gradient descent. Ironically, the approach that has come closer is LLM guided optimization
I feel bad when I get this notif, I imagine David's face full of disappointment when I did not, in fact, joined to talk about philosophy and the future.

Great essay putting in words what I've been feeling for the past few years. Tech, even its most innovative corners, has completely lost its vibes...even founders are now simply part of a capital complex that resembles internal bank incubators open.substack.com/pub/mhdempse...
VC-Backed Startups are Low Status
Before Tech became the dominant industry, jobs like investment banking were generally viewed as the best expected-value career trade to make out of school in terms of money, training, and accrued soci...

I don't think I ever posted this note here, but the ideas keep circling in my head. We are diving headfirst into a frictionless world and I think we need to find a way to redefine what the whole concept of human experience means because of this evergreen-hoodie-45c.notion.site/high-end-slo...

Humanity is in its slop arc: there has never been a time where such an amount of quantity of content is produced and disseminated. There has never been a time where content is so easily generated. Th...

I find it mildly hilarious that OpenAI is successfully scaling what used to be stable diffusion's original funding strategy
Sort of tangential but it is possible to be wrong so forcefully and consistently that you eventually bend some aspects of reality to you... sort of has been the main lesson in the last few years
deepfates@deepfates.com.deepfates.com.deepfates.com.deepfates.com.deepfates.com · 7mo agoReality will still be there whether or not we create "communities" that hide from it. The longer you hide from it, the harder it will kick you in the face. I am part of a global community of those who seek the truth. Anyone can join. You have nothing to lose but being wrong
The Alphagenome paper is good work, but it's interesting to see how small the improvement is in many of the tasks compared to relatively simple baselines...sort of tells you that we are missing measurements/modalities, not models per se
