This guy had a simple, important idea and wouldn’t stop pushing until it was implemented. He probably saves hundreds of thousands of lives.

erex78 — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 15:25:16 +0000

Given they’ve open sourced the model and their training techniques, shouldn’t it be pretty easy to get an order of magnitude estimate on if their training estimates are in the right ballpark?

Because they refurbished it and it’s back up after 40 years (we didn’t just suddenly communicate with extra terrestrials).

The amount of real engineering that must have gone into a system like this is incredible. They didn't have the benefit of being able to iterate on an existing technology -> this is real hacking.

Having worked on the streets dataset for a FAANG, I'm blown away at the ingenuity here.
