New comment by RyanShook in "There Will Be a Scientific Theory of Deep Learning"

RyanShook — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 21:28:01 +0000

Here's where I'm missing understanding: for decades the idea of neural networks had existed with minimal attention. Then in 2017 Attention Is All You Need gets released and since then there is an exponential explosion in deep learning. I understand that deep learning is accelerated by GPUs but the concept of a transformer could have been used on much slower hardware much earlier.

New comment by RyanShook in "Ask HN: Is the AI software developer demand destruction narrative accurate?"

RyanShook — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:57:10 +0000

The job and stock market believe most software development companies/verticals are ~25-50% less valuable than they were about a year ago. What do you think, is the restructuring of market dynamics currently underpriced or overblown?

New comment by RyanShook in "The Wyden Siren Goes Off Again: We’ll Be “Stunned” By What the NSA Is Doing"

RyanShook — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 02:22:19 +0000

Does anyone today think their communication is truly private? Encryption means very little when you hold zero-day exploits and as we’ve seen there are plenty of those.
