LZ_Khan··on Meta VR Glasses
Really lacking demo videos from the wearer's PoV.. wonder why.
LZ_Khan··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
cause im tryna monetize some idea i have
LZ_Khan··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
Disagree. I would never use OpenAI cause they're probably just going to steal whatever I'm working on.
LZ_Khan··on There's no point at which turning your brain off will work
Airline pilots and train conductors are basically meat proxies 95% of the time and they are still employed. Still necessary for when things really go wrong.
LZ_Khan··on Muse Spark 1.3
Ha, even with monitoring engineers keystrokes and mouse movements not SotA on OSWorld.
LZ_Khan··on Linear algebra done right
i literally threw this book in the trash cause it was too dense and pretentious.

Well this makes me bullish on Gemini if its this easy to reach the frontier
LZ_Khan··on Demis Hassabis is moving from CEO to Chairman at Google DeepMind
I've always thought this as well.
LZ_Khan··on Terence Tao's ChatGPT conversation about the Jacobian Conjecture counterexample
The biggest difference I see between the way I use LLMs and Terrence Tao's is that he's not constantly swearing at it.
LZ_Khan··on The classifiers Anthropic puts in front of Fable are too zealous
Fable is great. Very underrated on just personal life advice.
LZ_Khan··on OpenAI unveils its first custom chip, built by Broadcom
I think Jevons Paradox and scaling laws will make this not the case. If bigger models are always better (which seems they are), then will always need high-end hardware.
LZ_Khan··on Claude Tag
Good luck. Anthropic gets to co-train their harness with their model. Can't see people competing with that unless they own the model.
LZ_Khan··on Never Give Them Your Face
Are you allowed to do this in places like airports?
LZ_Khan··on Slightly reducing the sloppiness of AI generated front end
I think what makes something look like slop is rounded corner cards with slight shadow, and sans serif font.

Also full caps / overemphasis on text that doesn't need it. For example "DEMOCRAT" and "REPUBLICAN" in this example.

LZ_Khan··on Why Japanese companies do so many different things
a poor population will eventually become an unstable one.

In Japan's case, quite literally -- as their population distribution looks like its about to topple over.

LZ_Khan··on Why Japanese companies do so many different things
If a corporation does not have an incentive to make money, it will not align its priorities correctly.

For every neatly diversified company you have 10 zombie companies with workers floundering around like ants without a queen.

LZ_Khan··on Why Japanese companies do so many different things
Yes, objectively these characteristics of Japanese corporations seem like inefficiencies in the "free market".

Lack of mobility across companies (no price discovery on wages), lack of specialization (no focus), age based hierarchy (anti-meritocratic). None of these sound good for a well-tuned system.

I suspect much of Japan's stagnation is due to this system.

LZ_Khan··on Gemini Omni
This model is very misunderstood. It's not good at raw generation, but it has really deep world knowledge. Not just knowledge of physics, but just knowledge in general.

There are examples like providing a basic google maps view and then asking it to simulate driving from point A to point B, and it will generate landmarks from that location.

It's also great at consistency and editing. Probably SotA in editing.

Not sure what use cases will be unlocked but I sense something is there.

thx
LZ_Khan··on Google Declaring War on the Web
Why haven't we seen more work on licensing and compensating authors?

LLM's know when they get information from certain places, they should send a portion of revenue over to those sources.

LZ_Khan··on I’ve joined Anthropic
LLM's in general have destroyed at least 10 orders of magnitude more than 3 things.
LZ_Khan··on The last six months in LLMs in five minutes
I'm curious how the 6 months have looked from a non-programmer's perspective. What kind of co-working tools and similar optimizations have people from other fields experienced?
LZ_Khan··on Men who stare at walls
Much needed advice. Thank you!
LZ_Khan··on DeepSeek v4
It's easy to praise Deepseek for its results and generosity -- how they can keep up with frontier labs on Huawei chips for a fraction of the cost! -- but let's not forget a big part of their toolkit is heavy distillation of SoTA.

LZ_Khan··on Good sleep, good learning, good life (2012)
Is the author suggesting people to have to live with going through a phase of being nocturnal? In the free running algorithm, we're supposed to sleep 15 minutes later each day until we're falling asleep at like 9AM?

That's just incompatible with modern life right?
