ptd··on Large Language Model Course
Thank you for sharing! I'm getting started on a Learn in Public journey about LLMs using LLMs on lower end hardware and this will be a great resource.

Hey Daniel, I would love to help out on this. I'm learning about LLMs and this benchmarking project sounds like a fun way to further my knowledge and skills. I sent you a message on LinkedIn.

Cheers!

Just out of curiosity-how old are you? This pushback reminds me of teachers trying to fight phones in the classroom.

ptd··on What it feels like to work in AI right now
Question for you-given two identical candidates: One who does not submit a cover letter and one who submits a cover letter that was clearly written by chatgpt—which candidate would you rather interview?

On one hand the duplicities involved with writing a chatgpt cover letter seem to be concerning in a new hire. On the other hand, it shows resourcefulness and going above the line.

I’m tempted to say I’d prefer the gpt cover letter candidate, simply to talk to them about how they got the idea and how they executed, but I’m curious if you feel the same way.

Awesome! Glad to hear things worked out.

Does she like her job? I only ask because you specified comp in a way that suggested that is what is most important to you(and her).

I think this falls squarely into daydreaming about how to stop a home invasion territory.

One might argue that the fact that you care about things like this is why you don’t run Facebook.
ptd··on The Anxiety of Influencers
You’re being asked to consider the possibility that your family experiences have influenced this view. Not that you are incorrect, or even correct, the parent statement is simply saying you hold this belief because if you’re experiences.

If you’re the CEO, would you rather have a frustrating but profitable product or a non-frustrating but non-profitable product?

I think people forget this part of the math.

ptd··on Honda launches first level 3 self-driving car
The answer will be the same as asking the question, “who is responsible for an accident when the driver was using electronic steering?”.

Of course L3 and electronic steering are leagues apart when it comes to how much control they actually have on driving, but this is a difference of degree, not of kind.

As long as car makers allow the driver to intervene at any moment, I can’t picture a scenario where the system is held responsible in the event of accident.

What might happen(and Tesla insurance is headed in this direction), is that car manufacturers will profile drivers and offer “safe” drivers a deal where accidents are covered under warranty.

Yep. I’m bagging what you’re raking.

In my mind I was assuming that there is some communication between the two groups. Not at work, and definitely not where you can be overheard, but it just seems crazy to me that they don’t talk at all. But I’ve never been in a position to actually know, im just assuming.

Thank you for sharing your experience in such a thorough manner. Makes sense to me, and I agree.

I was definitely assigning him some kind of value that he may or may not have based on his success. Thanks for pointing out this flaw in my train of thought.

Have a wonderful day!

Depends on who you golf with(and don't), if we're being candid.
ptd··on Robinhood is automatically initiating GME sell orders on users' behalf
It seems clear to me that you don't become a billionaire by leaving evidence of your ill acts. Certainly not when the spotlight of the entire country is on you. If you don't mind me asking, do you interface with these kind of people? I don't and I'm wondering if you have some kind of insight I'm missing.

You really believe that the departments don't communicate? Once again, finding out that a lot of people see the world very differently than me. Why don't you think they communicate? It seems so clear to me that the departments work in cohort behind closed doors.
ptd··on Robinhood is automatically initiating GME sell orders on users' behalf
Justin Kan, founder of Twitch and Atrium(net worth over 9 figures) tweeted that he got a tip that Citadel(the company that executes trades for Robin Hood) reloaded their shorts before they told Robinhood to stop allowing users to buy GME.

If you think Kan is a conspiracy theorist making baseless accusations, we see the world very differently. Which is fine. Diversity of thought is always welcomed in my opinion. But I am curious how you can have that opinion. It seems so clear to me, so I'm a bit confused as to how someone can hold the oppsite view.

You don't think any of the high finance billionaires who were losing billions of dollars reached out to the people in the government whose campaigns they funded for support?

Calling this a conspiracy theory is...inaccurate in my opinion.
