This sounds like a you problem. Maybe your communication skills are lacking?

> Their priorities all need to be "This time, build a product that's going to be around in 10 years that will reflect well on our brand."

Lol I couldn't disagree more. I believe this sort of mindset leads to analysis paralysis.

Fantastic summary

Love that you know enough to call him out haha

> Go ask GPT 4 -- not 3.5 -- what it thinks about elephants flying to the moon. Then, and only them go write a snarky IEEE article.

It's hard to know what things have been seen in the training data and are only therefore correct. And GPT4 is large enough that it can generalize from learning that x doesn't make sense that y also doesn't make sense. Does that mean it *understands*? Maybe. But it doesn't have persistent state and can't do math. It's definitely not yet what we think of when we say AGI.

Can you point to a single major project that does? AFAIK it always leads significant regressions in real world use cases, which is why no major repo uses them.

Happens with every community as it gets larger. Guess the right thing to do is try and create/join invite only groups

Why learn something noone is using.

who cares about what java programmers think lol whatever they like should be treated with extreme suspicion

> python's syntax is whitespace-sensitive and doesn't have curly braces around blocks

that's a plus. the proof is in the pudding. one language has exploded. others haven't. the end.

julia's syntax is weird.

What a joke of a blogpost.

Yes!! I would love to work on a startup that creates a new assistant but distribution is not possible at the moment!

Yeah I've been able to kinda muddle my way through but progress is frustrating as I frequently get errors I don't understand. Was thinking maybe I should study compilers a bit and then I will be able to understand the triton source code better which will help me understand why I get errors.

Any recommendations for material to know to do exactly this sort of optimization work (involving triton)? I guess it's a mix of knowing computer architecture and compilers?

This website causes my mobile Firefox to hang and effectively crash.

This comment is written as if the one it replied to said something wrong. It didn't and this comment does nothing to add to the debate, instead it just obfuscates. Downvoted.

I don't understand why it's a bad idea? Did openai ask for permission for using the data it uses (no)?

This 1000%. It's incredible how just being mediocre leads to so much pain down the road from wasted effort and bad design.

Is this comment speaking from personal experience? Meta pays much more than any other FAANG. E.g. Know someone who's openai offer (2x Google) was matched by meta.

Probably done with meta's blessing. Pretty obvious the scientists wanted to release it and legal stopped them.

It's called making fun of oneself. I know I know, incomprehensible for Americans. But do try.

Einstein did his great discoveries together with his wife with whom he studied physics together (look it up).

Downvoted: You clearly have no startup experience.

99% of Unis do not have Hardware like that lol

The high speed is necessary so the plane doesn’t fall out of the sky. A bullet is going to have a different friction coefficient than a plane so is not as affected by the altitude.

If anyone is curious where the (stunning) photo is from, it’s Leysin in Switzerland.

You do the same thing as when checking out any tool/library/whatever: Skim the README, then if still interested jump into a file or two and look at what the code is like. It’s pretty likely - if this person works in the same domain, usually the case - you (as an experienced dev) will be able to guess what files are worth looking at and quickly get at least some minimal understanding of what is being done.

And remember, this is just to decide whether to invite someone for an interview. Looking at the repo is just to get some extra signal.

I’m surprised this needed to be explained.

Don’t worry, pretty clear from this comment you’d be a terrible match for an early stage startup.

It existed that way when you yourself were younger and knew less and there were was a high prob that whoever you were talking to could teach you something.

teenagers still experience it the same way.

Where do you work so I can ensure we never meet?
