excited for @appliedcompute to come out of stealth :) agent labs are using specialized intelligence to hyperoptimize for hot paths we'll see them, @willccbb (Prime), @jacob_d_kahn (Meta), @willhang_ (OAI) discuss more of their work next month at AIE CODE

Generalists are useful, but it’s not enough to be smart. Advances come from specialists, whether human or machine. To have an edge, agents need specific expertise, within specific companies, built on models trained on specific data. We call this Specific Intelligence. It's…

I estimated the fiscal impact specific by major countries. COUNTRY Indians 🇮🇳 are the most economically positive major immigrant group. One Indian is expected to reduce the debt by $1.7 million over 30 years. Salvadoran 🇸🇻 are the most negative group, followed by Mexicans.

TODAY: My new @ManhattanInst report estimates the deficit, GDP, and population impact of immigrants by legal status, education, age, race, and origin. I propose reforming immigration to SELECT better immigrants and reduce the debt by $20 trillion over 30 years.

I spent much of last week helping investigate performance issues and running benchmarks from an EC2 VM and it was an incredibly fun experience. The team behind the Workers runtime is world class. One of my favorite parts about this is when we noticed an issue impacting Vercel…

I’ve tried a vast majority of Indian/Indic LLMs and other products like translation and TTS and from my experience GPT-4o beats them all without a fight. It speaks better Gujarati, Hindi and other languages than most Indian company models. Using open source models from Indian…

An interesting difference in the Chinese vs. American AI landscape: In China, there seem to be no pure model companies. The major players viewed the model frontier as a stepping stone to end user apps, and this strategy gave rise to a vibrant open weight ecosystem. In the U.S.,…

Postgres pro tip: Use DISTINCT ON to easily implement ARGMAX. We all know MAX(x), but sometimes you need the row that gives that maximum. That’s ARGMAX: the argument (row) for which a value is maximal. Postgres doesn’t have a built-in argmax(), but you can do it cleanly with…

The reason these business groups don’t do any R&D is they don’t have to face competition - a scenario which often they themselves have carefully engineered. x.com/rmantri/status… They are masters at squeezing / smothering new entrants and potential competitors. Or they…

Sajjan Jindal on why Indian companies don’t invest in innovation and R&D. Well… I guess I’ll drastically reduce my further rants on R&D scene in India. But atleast he is honest in saying he isn’t doing R&D than lame excuses like some business process innovation as R&D.

Skinner had been a loyal officer and unjustly fired by the defector Perron. Later in 1822 Skinner lamented that he was treated better in Maratha service than British.

The old uniforms of the 1st Bengal Lancers. The regiment was formed in 1803 after James Skinner was dissmissed by Marathas. It saw fighting in the two Anglo-Afghan Wars, the Sikh Wars, the Boxer Rebellion, WWI & II. Today, it is an armoured regiment and operates T-72 tanks.

Lots of confusion about what a world model is. Here is my definition: Given: - an observation x(t) - a previous estimate of the state of the world s(t) - an action proposal a(t) - a latent variable proposal z(t) A world model computes: - representation: h(t) = Enc(x(t)) -…

I was drained today from a weird migraine - headache, fatigue, the whole thing. Then I joined a meeting and started talking about DBOS and instantly felt better. I'm grateful and proud of what we're building. Happy weekend!

Hey @deno_deploy, I'm testing out EA as an alternative to cloudflare, but my build(id r1ddz7ppddkj) is failing at npm install phase in EA. It just gets stuck for 5m and then cancels. Can you tell me what's the problem please?
