I'm also mostly with this opinion tbh, having actually tried to build on LLMs is quite hard and we need to do a lot of technical learning to get to a point where product offerings start looking good (if at all). I also think the current stuff has a lot of value thats underrated

To make it work required this massive private over-investment in internet infrastructure, and the proliferation of good PCs. I think you could make a similar argument for AI, but ofc there was also a massive overinvestment!

I actually agree much more with the internet case than with the PC case! The PC case is quite simple in that accounting, word processing, games, encyclopedia, email are quite good. If all you saw of the internet was BBS, i think you would rightly be skeptical.

One of the most horrifying climate change facts is that rail lines are put in on hot days so the steel shrinks and becomes more stable, in many places the hottest day is much warmer than when it was installed! dont love it

To be clear, PCs had extremely clear use cases that already worked. The reason performance mattered was that it really improved already working products. AI (as in LLMs) has not really cracked an amazing product yet

I get it, in that its the slowest of burns, but also i've never had a payoff like that finale. Also they managed to make streaming as hard as possible in Canada so i was having to like deliver USBs to get people to watch it

classic one is that decomp of word-freq matrices gives you a vector space with results like "king" - "male" + "female" = "queen", comes for free with basically 0 model fitting

I think part of this comes from early AI where learning small parts of a dataset gave you an algebra that once learned, could be extended to out of sample predictions in nice ways. Theres certainly something to this kind of universal pattern seeking math-brain (collatz conjecture etc)

Remembering this person from a twitter flashback where she insisted that dimensions had to go height, length, width, time so every possible concept was 4d.

100%. Does feel like them bailing on their own plan is related. the UK overton window is something i will never understand. Im thinking maybe close relationships between editors and parties results with this weird lurching consensus

Its kind of a weird one in that i think they grabbed more of the center from cons and SNP, but gave up some ground on the left but they ended up with a more efficient vote (greens/other, some shadow cabinet ministers got got etc.)

We do have a certain political malaise, in that the left just has no energy now, but thats kinda how politics should work. I think people are already looking on how we'll rebuild. And some bright spots with the NDP in the prairies, and possibly alberta

Yeah i think thats a fair point. It pre-emptively delegitimizes some stories from them in bad ways. i am certainly re-evaluating them, but ill probably take any given article at face value

Yeah this checks out to me. Like meat section is 90% beef + chicken, and its in that other section. I just found it weird, because i grew up in rural New Brunswick, and definitely had it like annually? East Coast Canada also has a weird donar kebab version that was lamb so idk. For sure not taboo

so wild, idk if its just because Canadian cities where i'm at have a lot of Mediterranean people, but you can def go to any grocery store and find lamb, or at the bare minimum some kind of lamb skewer
