Every MLE who didnt study Math really likes to downplay its importance. Yeah you dont need measure theoretic probability, but you need a grasp of Lin Alg to structure your computations better. Remember the normalization that we do in attention ? That has a math justification. So I guess yeah academics did have a role in building LLMs.
I mean computer scientists really do like to pretend like they invented the whole field. Whereas in reality the average OS, compilers, networks class has nothing to do with core ML. But of course are also important and these barbs dont get us anywhere.
I think you might've taken my point too strongly. Of course math is very useful, and certain contributions are purely mathematical. I just don't think it is as hard of a requirement for innovation as was claimed.
I think at this point you should be more worried about being thrown in a detention centre. But the likelihood of being affected gun violence in be US especially if you stick to the right parts is low as long as you're there for a short while.
Why would a tourist be detained arbitrarily? Are you referring to that one girl from Berlin? It's ironic to see you talking about statistics of gun violence but suggesting that the statistics of being detained as a tourist are high m.
3,000 out of 66,500,000 visitors per year means you have a 0.004% chance of having this happen to you. You have significantly more chances of dying on your way to work in whatever country you are at.
Math is off. Total number of people detained in 2023 was 270k out of 66million annual visitors. 0.4% chance. Chances of dying in a plane crash are roughly 1 in million (Google tells me so, not sure of the source). The ones I listed are the publicized ones but the story is the same.
YCs success has nothing to do with just YC (not to take credit away) but rather from the fact that the US is a large unified well-regulated market. EU has sensible rules sure but the market isnt unified and the individual countries dont have big enough markets to sustain large numbers of software companies. YC itself is honestly quite open with their knowledge but its just that EU in itself is a pretty terrible place to run a business. Lots if regulation, some good ones.
Honestly most people want to be him. Everbody craves money and unchecked power. The problem is nobody understands that what he's doing is against their interests.
This is a little bit of a word soup. Its hard to see why the various redesigns were done without a set of requirements. I dont get why you'd trigger Airflow workflows for doing CDC. These things were designed for large scale batch jobs rather than doing CDC on a some Google sheets. Either way without scale numbers its hard to why PG was used or why the shift to BigQuery. Anyways the site uses Hugo, which actually sticks out for me.
Congratulations on the release. Although I hope the developers take the lesson that AI frameworks are unnecessary. You don't need frameworks to write HTTP calls. Just a good enough SDK would do.
Not the essay for me. I actually lost patience midway. The author lost me at "when we are young we dream of meeting our idols." I never gave a shit. I mean my idols were fictional so that obviously helped.
