Whoever hasn't seen this documentary is missing out on what was possibly the greatest mathematical event of the 20th century...
Andrew Wiles on the morning he discovered how to fix his proof of Fermat's Last Theorem
Rarely a sentence combined so much pretentious intellectualism and abyssal stupidity at the same time.
No to the groypers. No to cowards like Tucker Carlson, who normalize their trash. No to those who champion them. No to demoralization. No to bigotry and anti-meritocratic horseshit. No to anti-Americanism. No.
Pluvicto research was funded by the government. Are you going to say thank you
Update: Getting Pluvicto (the cancer drug) tomorrow, via Kaiser Northern California. The Trump administration works fast. Amazing. For context, I waited months for the drug, like everyone else. But I think my files got misplaced or something and that glitch just got…
Gradually people notice what it means for PRC to produce ~10x the STEM talent of the US, comparable to Rest of World combined. Very simple math: ~4x US population, kids ~2x more likely to do hard STEM in college. More advanced reasoning: PISA L6 math ability = top ~2% US kids…
So it's very interesting. When a Chinese company decides "ok time to do AGI", they spawn a lab and do it. 100+ people, DS-MoE, add GPUs, get near-frontier weights on the other end. When Meta tries to do it, Zuck trips and spaghetti falls out of his pockets. Again. And again. Why?
Never seen so much pearl clutching over this from the group of people currently supporting a pedophile who is arguing in court that the government shouldn’t help starving children while literally murdering Venezuelan fisherman
This is what human flourishing looks like
Spent 1 hour on 8 pages of Plato’s Parmenides this morning. It’s a difficult one.
I use recursion probably fifty times a day. What you are saying is that you are not using a language that has TCO. You claim that "you are not thinking recursively", which means you are not using induction, the most powerful reasoning tool in mathematics and the most common…
How often do you *actually* use recursion in your programs? I'm not sure if I'm the only one here, but I'm going to put it out in the open: I've been programming for 20+ years, and while I understand recursion… I never use it. Ever. Seriously 🙂 I feel like there's a huge…
I'm working with one of the top 5% distributed systems engineers at Google and he claims that he knows nothing about distributed systems. I love this company.
One morning the headmaster of the school in Braunsberg heard an infernal racket coming from the classroom where Weierstrass was supposed to give his lesson. Therefore he rushed to see what was happening, but did not find Weierstrass in the classroom. He then ran to his room and…
The kids from Sandy Hook should be in college right now
We’ve found a ton of value hiring folks with strong theory backgrounds with little to no production ML experience. One of our members of technical staff got his phd in pure math/the geometry of black holes and had no prior ML experience. Within days of hiring him we released our…
Absolutely the right take. People have wrongly complained about places like Harvard CS having “too much theory” forever. Turns out if you get the theory it’s not that hard to apply it. The reverse is not true. That + a culture of students working on side projects with their…
Enjoyed lunch with my favorite Senator!
I actually wasn’t invited to the White House lunch today, but that’s ok I had a previously scheduled Liberty Caucus Lunch with @MassieforKY
C.N. Yang has passed, age 103. Yang was awarded the Nobel prize at 35, for parity violation (shared with T.D. Lee). But his greatest contribution was probably Yang-Mills theory, now referred to as gauge theory. When I was a student the former designation was as common as the…
Love the Analogy from @karpathy of "LLMs are ghosts of internet-scale code" in his @dwarkesh_sp podcast. - They're brilliant at re-creating what's common (boilerplate, CRUD apps), but get stuck on what's new. - They'll try to "correct" your novel/new implementation with a…
My pleasure to come on Dwarkesh last week, I thought the questions and conversation were really good. I re-watched the pod just now too. First of all, yes I know, and I'm sorry that I speak so fast :). It's to my detriment because sometimes my speaking thread out-executes my…
The @karpathy interview 0:00:00 – AGI is still a decade away 0:30:33 – LLM cognitive deficits 0:40:53 – RL is terrible 0:50:26 – How do humans learn? 1:07:13 – AGI will blend into 2% GDP growth 1:18:24 – ASI 1:33:38 – Evolution of intelligence & culture 1:43:43 - Why self…
