smus··on Gukesh becomes the youngest chess world champion in history
Not nearly as big of an accomplishment as that guy reducing latency by 3.7% on the legacy microservice at work
smus··on Microsoft and OpenAI's close partnership shows signs of fraying
>the ONLY thing these LLMs know how to do is predict the probability that their next word

This is super incorrect. The base model is trained to predict the distribution of next words (which obviously necessitates a ton of understanding about the language)

Then there's the RLHF step, which teaches the model about what humans want to see

But o1 (which is one of these LLMs) is trained entirely differently to do reinforcement learning on problem solving (we think), so it's a pretty different paradigm. I could see o1 planning very well

smus··on Waymo to begin testing on San Francisco freeways this week
You get to be alone during the ride
smus··on A new type of neural network is more interpretable
Not just the optimizers, but the initialization schemes for neural networks have been explicitly tuned for stable training of neural nets with traditional activation functions. I'm not sure as much work has gone into intialization for KANs

I 100% agree with the idea that these won't be any more interpretable and I've never understood the argument that they would be. Sure, if the NN was a single neuron I can see it, but as soon as you start composing these things you lose all interpretability imo

smus··on Ryanair wins screen scraping case against Booking.com in US court ruling
nowadays air travel is completely unregulated, famously
smus··on Google's carbon emissions surge nearly 50% due to AI energy demand
I currently save so much time a day using chatbots lol
smus··on I am using AI to drop hats outside my window onto New Yorkers
Looks like the key component is roboflow (a computer vision/ai platform) and the user trained and deployed a yolo deep-learning model.
smus··on Please don't mention AI again

A friend of mine told me he 100% guarantees you would find LSD interesting if you tried it

Tree + water = canoe
smus··on Self-driving as a case study for AGI
>But when can I get in a taxi at JFK or on 5th Ave and get robotaxied through city streets, urban highway, off into the far suburbs? Could be a decade, if it happens. Just because we were able to make horses faster doesn't mean we flew horses to the moon.

Having ridden in a lot of waymo's which can handle SF (urban stuff) and the phoenix area (highways and suburban stuff) perfectly well, I feel quite confident that that could happen right now.

smus··on Spotify will reduce total headcount by approximately 17%
I think you're missing the point that coding isn't the only type of job

Isn't Super Mario 64 third party? It's hal labs, not nintendo

smus··on Gitlab Critical Security Release
because us gov operations are totally divorced from the civilian sector?
smus··on Ask HN: What made your business take off that you wish you'd done much earlier?
You aren't looking too hard then, 2/3 start ups I worked for less than 50 ppl sell to the gov
smus··on What have we got to lose? (1998)
Huh? In the real world we're currently living in you can probably track 80% of advertising people are exposed to to like 20 fortune 50 companies. Doesn't get more concrete than that
smus··on Porn sites will be legally required to verify users' age using credit card
No one is saying it is!

ever hear the term "mouth watering"

Fruit absolutely triggers hormonal responses, what are you talking about?
smus··on /r/antiwork: A tragedy of sanewashing and social gentrification
Sorry, I think you missed my point. My point is that our economy is currently structured with so many jobs paying too little, having no benefits, no pto/healthcare, that "people should just get a better job" argument doesn't hold water numerically. I think the solution to that is to ease the wealth gap.

:) :) :)

smus··on /r/antiwork: A tragedy of sanewashing and social gentrification
You cannot structurally expect everyone to have a good career in the us. It is not currently mathematically possible. Please don't delude yourself into thinking the economy could function the same as it currently does without lifelong service industry workers
smus··on /r/antiwork: A tragedy of sanewashing and social gentrification
>This reminds me of "Defund the Police", wherein supporters would try to convince others that the slogan did not literally mean what it says.

What? It always meant lower police funding. If it meant abolish the police, the slogan would have been abolish the police

smus··on Spotify deletes 70 Joe Rogan episodes
You are a poor communicator. When did you first ask how my quote relates to Spotify? Why did you post an unrelated hypothetical under my comment?
smus··on Send your email right to the other person's spam
The payoff here (looking like a giant asshole) doesn't seem worth the risk (publically humiliating someone who had the worst year of their life and lost a ton of family and friends)
smus··on Spotify deletes 70 Joe Rogan episodes
You think a doctor saving the life of a white supremacist is the same as publishing content that promotes white supremacy? Huh, I guess that's certainly one way to understand the world
