They say Hitler was very charismatic, inspiring and a great public speaker. I seriously wonder how much drugs he was on at the time and how much that boosted and projected his own confidence (and then subsequently inspired all of his fellow countrymen Germans)?

Would be cool if you could turn up/down the LLM’s temperature by pressing different keys other than just !!!!

Say pressing keyword numbers 0-9

We printed ~25% of all money in existence since 2020 so that obv means more diluted money chasing scarce housing (applies to everyone worldwide)

High real estate prices might be the new norm :(

Meng Wanzhou (daughter of the founder of Huawei) bypassed sanctions against Iran

Vancouver airport arrested and put her under house arrest for a few years

Step change, then optimization of that step change

Kind of like a grand father clock with a huge pendulum swinging to one side, then another(commonly used metaphor).

This guy is funny, knowledgeable and not full of himself (unlike others in our industry)

Learned a ton from Daniel when I was starting out

In binary, most significant(left most) bit is twice the magnitude of the previous bit. So that bit (or person) would contribute and get compensated accordingly.

Would also be similar to segment trees with each leaf node having a value of 1 with parents recursively summing the children?

That’s why I’m against social housing.

Inner city welfare/government housing aggregates all the homeless into one area where open air drug markets can flourish and other nefarious activities are normalized.

Low income people should instead move to the outskirts of big cities where the rent is more affordable and they are more spread out.

Anyone else speculating whether the shots somehow lowered our overall immune systems?

Elon had all the intricacies and parts of the rockets memorized and was just rattling off details like it was nothing.

Kind of makes me think human intelligence is a direct function of memory.

Also wish YouTube would copy X/Twitter where you get two toggle options:

1) For you (algo recommendations)

2) Directly following

You would ideally use directly following on the days where you’re time crunched.

I did not invent English or the alphabet, I didn’t grow my own food, etc.

And not coincidentally this is exactly how Jobs pitched the original iPhone unveil.

An iPod, a phone, an internet communicator, an iPod, a phone…

Normal refresh cycle period for tablets(iPads) is ~5 years.

Normal life of a car is 10 years (2x).

That means that by year 7 or so, multi-touch performance in autos starts to seriously lag consumer tablet market.

Perhaps we need to have a replaceable/swappable infotainment console now

Hal was also the first person who Satoshi contacted, the first person who mined, and died (ALS) a little after Satoshi’s final public correspondence.

I read somewhere that Hal was running a marathon at roughly the same time Satoshi was active, but damn, Hal must have been involved.

Seems like good acronym semantics no?

I’d love to support Garry politically to get SF back to its roots and to put math back in schools.

Unfortunately Garry has blocked me on X for no good reason that I can think of?

Has anyone ever tried matching the sizes/circumferences of the coins with the holes?

Could have been used as a auto-coin sorting device?

there were a few scam SpaceX live streams on YouTube where they would play footage of Elon on stage at night from when starship was first unveiled.

The scammers would overlay an AI deep fake of Elon’s voice and push a crypto currency scam!

Those channels were called SpaceXUS or SpaceXLive etc. with legit looking SpaceX logo.

Somehow they managed to gain 1k live followers to boost it in the YouTube algo.

This video is the best for learning attention, specifically where he explains:

Think of attention like a directed graph of vectors passing messages to each other

Keys are what other tokens are communicating to you,

Queries are what you are interested in,

and Values are what you are projecting out yourself.

When you matrix multiply the queries x keys(transposed), you measure the interestingness or affinity between the two.
