I’m blocking whoever argues that the Deepseek-R1 thinking is not AGI. I’m not even joking. This thing is incredible…

I don’t know about you but for someone who has so many questions about so many things all the time LLMs provide a sense of security and emotional support.

I’m very bad at remembering details in books that I read. One thing that I have found to be both enjoyable and also helpful with retaining is contemplative reading by using LLMs, specifically Gemini 2.0. It’s amazing how the 1 million token enable you to have a conversation with a book.

Being sick on onboarding your new direct hire is always fun! Especially if all the kids are sick and miss school too. Very work friendly.

Nothing is more fun than have your kid get sick after 4 days of being at daycare after the break… oh wait there is; when his mom goes on a work trip and you’re left alone to take care of him

Did you know that not only Apple takes 30% of all purchases through App Store, they charge you $100/year to “develop” apps with such a badly designed framework? That’s insane… how are we okay with this?

I had a dream last night about Sam Altman. I was a very close friend of his, like his best friend. He had the entire model on a laptop and THAT WAS THR ONLY COPY. He was planning to leave OpenAI, secretly, without telling anyone.

The world of startups is truly wild. Each has its own unique blend of collaboration and autonomy. It's like a rocket at the exact moment it's about to blast off from startup to scaleup - thrilling, chaotic, and sometimes shaking! You need to be adaptable and flexible while holding your ground.

The biggest discovery artificial intelligence might make in the next 5 to 10 years is how to solve quantum error correction and build functional quantum computers with millions of qubits.
"AI Supremacy" occurs when quantum computing and its capabilities is harnessed by our most powerful AIs.

This is interesting coming from Jensen. Intentionally, Nvidia has definitely not invested in developing quantum “hardware” in-house. They have been trying to position themselves as one of the leaders without hardware, as proven by focusing on CUDA-Q.

I read a summary of this paper and it makes a lot of sense; we need abstractions for quantum programs and move from a imperative approach to declarative but I need to read it in details to see how they can actually achieve that.
Design and synthesis of scalable quantum programs
We present a scalable, robust approach to creating quantum programs of arbitrary size and complexity. The approach is based on the true abstraction of the problem. The quantum program is expressed in…

I don’t know why people are impressed with o1’s coding ability. For me, Claude 3.5 Sonnet is far superior and sensible when it comes to coding. It’s like having an engineer with you.
