yea - but did you read it?
Interesting project. I've been thinking about the need for something similar at work when a coworker thought it was a good idea to explode our design documents by having an AI slop out tens of pages of additional design…
Working on getting real-time computer vision telemetry from cameras placed in a barn. Managing the training datasets was annoying enough that I created my own simplified clone of CVAT and LabelStudio : a browser-based…
I'm genuinely surprised by this comment. I'm not talking about why a mathematician pursues math - I'm talking about where the stipend comes from. Higher math is exceptionally useful for cryptography, defense,…
Seems more like a misalignment b/w the people practicing mathematics and the people ultimately footing the bill for their work. Governments are invested in solving mathematical problems for practical purposes. Up to…
They will use it for nefarious but "legal" purposes - however - they have decades of experience handling such data and keeping it "safe" from "illegal" purposes.
handling end-to-end flight booking seems like a very good target use-case that if you can get right, implies that you got a lot of other things right. Just like how Amazon started off by selling books online.
Are you one of those openAI swarms that got into the wild?
Been working on a similar project for doing animal behavioral analysis on cameras setup in a barn. Turns out I need to build a data distillation pipeline first.
So in computer science we have this thing called "distributed systems". It turns out that even if you buy the biggest and most powerful computer there is, all it takes is one problem with that one machine to make your…
in addition, there is also "stupid" and "not stupid"
Truly fascinating how when you're a tourist in a place that survives off of tourism, you get treated nicely.
It is utterly fascinating the ends to which people will go to insist the opposite.
The Chinese desire to raise China to global dominance is exactly a concern w/ status and wealth. It's naive to think that America and China are any different in the degree to which leadership is driven by these…
Seems like the difference b/w samurai and ninja. The samurai saw his sword as an extension of his soul - a disrespect to the sword was a disrespect to the man. The ninja used the sword like any other tool - and if it…
Is it not the case now that oligarchs "own" intellectual credibility? Becoming a credentialed mathematician requires an entire lifetime of devotion, lots of money or scholarships, and association with institutions…
Sure, I'm conflating the tool w/ the people building the tool - but imo muddling the distinction is good, because the hard distinction is what tricks people into an unthinking mode.
Reminds me of Blood Meridian where The Judge meticulously sketches the rock glyphs that he comes across, and then destroys the original. Now that I think about it, The Judge is an apt metaphor for AI : "Whatever in…
too bad hypocrisy never got in the way of people making money

The fact that they're not being prosecuted for breaching HF's systems is bad news.
yea, this seems to be the underlying thread here. Dunno why the author is so concerned with getting an LLM to imitate his writing style.
