Fair point!

On the one hand, I'd say developed countries are much farther along in digitizing (as part of efficiency optimization) their processes. Mostly by virtue that their companies are essentially management/orchestration processes on top of subcontracted manufacturing.

On the other hand, it gives developing countries an opportunity to skip the legacy step and go right to the state of the art.

I'm still skeptical the latter will dominate though.

I'd assume most of the developing world is still operating "good enough to work" processes, which are largely manual. Digitizing those processes will be a nightmare, because it plays out on organizational-political timespans.

How ? And how is this different than before ?
That would make sense, if you had your pants and shirt on backward.

Musk has introduced several high profile changes to corrupt "the authenticity of their rankings" - what on earth are you talking about regarding "authentic information" given the person running the place is a known and repeated liar, whose lied directly about his management decisions regarding the property you've mostly recently started liking?

I'm really tired of people just treating words as meaningless attention hooks and then leaning on a unilaterally convenient redefinition of them.
I'm sure there are some who do it that way, but it's not the point for most. Animal-based foods are dense with nutrition and tasty. If you could have that without harming your health, or that of the environment or animals, why wouldn't you?

Some people prefer not to be reminded of animals at all, and they'll adopt a diet that doesn't resemble them. They don't need a "stepping stone" to it, though sometimes they could use some assistance learning how to eat a nutritionally complete diet. It's perfectly possible; it just requires a bit more thought.

It's not clear that these products actually are better for your health or the environment, but it's quite clear that they do reduce animal suffering. For many, that's sufficient.
> but I still get 64 recruiting emails a day

Recruiters recruit. When it's harder to get people hired, I suppose that means recruiters have to work harder/smarter.

If you're getting more recruiter outreaches than most people, maybe it's what you're plugged into, or (I suppose) some recruiters might still be operating on the old rule that a poached hire is preferred to a currently unemployed one.

(Even though, given the large number of layoffs from prestige/upscale companies lately, I'd think that being laid off isn't a bad signal on someone. And the laid off person might be more likely candidate to get to accept an offer, and therefore maybe preferable to spending recruiting time on.)

What a circus.
I think the two biggest areas it's useful is discoverability and networking. I often catch interesting papers on Twitter that I missed through other avenues. And a lot of people post threads highlighting the main takeaways of their papers which often saves a lot of time and confusion once I get into the paper itself. Also, I've definitely made connections on Twitter with whom I went on to meet up with at conferences and build both lasting professional connections and friendships, and which have led to some collaborations. It's also where a lot of people post job opportunities (especially postdoc openings). Back when I was looking for a postdoc (years back now), about half of my interviews came from people that had posted open calls on Twitter.

So, all told -- I don't think there's a lot of productive work (i.e., research) directly going on on twitter, but that doesn't mean that it isn't still making important contributions to the profession.

Also, yes, the water cooler is fun

> seemingly absurd ... doesn’t read like a joke

Buddy,
Tried Anki for a few months for learning programming concepts and internalizing ideas from books. I created all flashcards based on my own notes, for stuff I understood, did everything by the book.

After a while I realised I was visually learning the flashcards, i.e. when reading the prompt side I would see a photographic memory of the answer and get it right, but not necessarily think about the meaning of the contents. After a 15-20 min session I would remember very little of what I had just studied. Then I quit.

It reminded me of how trained chess players visualise the game as patterns instead of a collection of pieces.

Anyone with a similar experience?
I'm curious why you think Twitter is suddenly authentic and non-manipulative? If anything, it seems worse -- less news more hate.

They at least lost some money from ads from new possible products, if everything is doom and gloom. But these cost-cutting measures are just to be in the news and protect the price of their stocks (look, we are decreasing our costs).

> Cool, that’s really the only point I’m making.

To be clear, I'm saying that I don't know if they are, not that we know that it's not the same.

It's not at all clear that humans do much more than "that basic token sequence prediction" for our reasoning itself. There are glaringly obvious auxiliary differences, such as memory, but we just don't know how human reasoning works, so writing off a predictive mechanism like this is just as unjustified as assuming it's the same. It's highly likely there are differences, but whether they are significant remains to be seen.

> Not necessarily scaling limitations fundamental to the architecture as such, but limitations in our ability to develop sufficiently well developed training texts and strategies across so many problem domains.

I think there are several big issues with that thinking. One is that this constraint is an issue now in large part because GPT doesn't have "memory" or an ability to continue learning. Those two need to be overcome to let it truly scale, but once they are, the game fundamentally changes.

The second is that we're already at a stage where using LLMs to generate and validate training data works well for a whole lot of domains, and that will accelerate, especially when coupled with "plugins" and the ability to capture interactions with real-life users [1]

E.g. a large part of human ability to do maths with any kind of efficiency comes down to rote repetition and generating large sets of simple quizzes for such areas is near trivial if you combine an LLM at tools for it to validate its answers. And unlike with humans where we have to do this effort for billions of humans, once you have an ability to let these models continue learning you make this investment in training once (or once per major LLM effort).

A third is that GPT hasn't even scratched the surface in what is available in digital collections alone. E.g. GPT3 was trained on "only" about 200 million Norwegian words (I don't have data for GPT4). Norwegian is a tiny language - this was 0.1% of GPT3's total corpus. But the Norwegian National Library has 8.5m items, which includes something like 10-20 billion words in books alone, and many tens of billions more in newspapers, magazines and other data. That's one tiny language. We're many generations of LLM's away from even approaching exhausting the already available digital collections alone, and that's before we look at having the models trained on that data generate and judge training data.

You've basically just answered "with a brush" to the question "how do you think I should paint my wall". True, but irrelevant. You can make a ugly, unusable UIs with your listed frameworks. You can make amazing, smooth UIs with plain HTML+CSS.
I have always had great success when systems are designed from the UI first. It really helps you break a new business case down to the point where the backend code just starts writing itself.

I suspect you are coming from a design background because people who have never built a UI before are always very suspicious of this suggestion.

This is a case where an algorithmic feed would make this into a truly amazing product.

I don't want email spam from every follower, but do want to see the best snippets on substack.

Super easy to create a for you page, given text content:

Step 1: embed every article I ever read, or note I liked/comment/share and stuff it in a DB.

Step 2: every time a new note is posted (by anyone anywhere), embed it, search the db for my last 100 embedded items, and see if new note has relevance > 50%. If so, add it to my feed inventory. Resort my feed inventory by semantic relevance every hour. Remove items older than 7 days from feed inventory every hour.

Step 3: On page load, move everything in my feed inventory to my feed archive - never rerank again. (Bonus points for tracking note level views rather than assuming all were viewed, but small detail).

Bonus Step 4: Every 4th item in my feed inventory, intersperse something that's solely there based on popularity/top liked note of all notes visible to all of my followings. i.e., show me something possibly irrelevant but viral.

That'll get you pretty far, each step can be endlessly optimized over time.

I want to see the results of this so bad that I'll volunteer to build v1 this weekend if you really don't have time to do it internally. Tiktok for text... could be amazing.
A hybrid takes care of the brakes. What are the next big consumable in an ICE vs EV? Oil changes? Hardly a deal breaker. Air filters? $10 and often easier to instal than the cabin air filter.

With fuel injection, spark plugs can easily go 120k+ miles. I have never replaced them and no engine Ive owned ever seemed bothered by it.

Spark plug wiring? My uncle did that once on his civic... when it had 180k miles and was 25 years old. He was ready to junk the car, but he ended up driving it until he moved away and sold it.

If your ICE doesn't outlive your car (with regular oil changes) you drive like a maniac or buy cheap cars (you know the brands)

> Borders are a great way to distinguish two elements from one another, but using too many of them can make your design feel busy and cluttered. Instead, try adding a box shadow, using contrasting background colors, or simply adding more space between elements.

In many cases I like busy and cluttered; I enjoy https://dofsimulator.net/ , I use gmail in "compact" mode, etc.

The example listed as "bad" is also interesting; it is busy, which may be unappealing, but it also means higher contrast. Also being "cluttered" lets me simply see more information at once. So if I had to deal with large amount of data, I'd prefer that "bad" design.

I would expect that from the employer's point of view, it's not a sea of "amazing candidates to choose from, any of which would be a good fit for my company." When they find someone who ticks all the boxes, they can expect that person will tick the boxes for other companies as well, so best to make a reasonable offer that the candidate will take.

Are average companies offering $300K to Senior/Staff Engineers this days? Not often. Are they offering < $150K? Not if they're serious about hiring people. The numbers are somewhere in the middle.
You'll probably find out pretty quick in production :)

But I posit that most text classification tasks don't have such strict accuracy requirements. For one, no text classifier is 100% accurate. For instance, I have genuine mail in my spam folder frequently. I see spam on social networks, etc. I struggle to think of cases that aren't at least somewhat tolerant to some amount of incorrect classification.

Not just the cover letter, also the experience. Look at the job description and keywords. Make sure your relevant history is there early and the things less relevant used as filler.

In the US we mostly use resume which is a short summary and you are expected to take off things that are not relevant. In Europe I understand they more use the CV format which allows for more length for experience that we don't care about.
I agree with the point you're making here, but it’s also funny that the description of someone passing a test but not being able to do much without a lot of human supervision is… exactly the description of a human college graduate.

The world does not sell over a billion ICE cars annually, not even close.

Look, it's impressive yes or yes but is it that surprising that a system like an LLM does well on exams?

What is an exam? It's an attempt to test that you have consumed and understood large amounts of information and can apply it to novel (ish) situations, but in a very 'sandboxed' way that is just text-in-text-out. That's literally what these systems are specialists in doing.

Is it maybe a bit like saying a driverless car can outperform most human drivers in a time trial on a race track? Not a trivial feat, to be sure, but also not that surprising perhaps once the basics are dialled in.
Because the more detailed description of the feature clearly explains what it does and doesn’t do. Say you sign a contract, one section is titled “Seller Assumes Liability for Injury” but then the text of that section lists some circumstances where they don’t. Totally fine and legal.
