Soccer is not just physical - it's also team work, strategy, diet, tenacity, etc. A lot of those skills can be learned from almost any activity, including building lego sets online.

The best soccer players are incredibly intelligent and fast thinking.

bkaae··on Microsoft exec called AI scraping 'the largest theft of labor in human history'
That's true. However it does sometimes feel like our culture is being buried in slop.
bkaae··on Dario, Please
I could do plenty of small bad things all the time and gain something small from it - yet I don't. I drive the speed limit when no one is around, I throw thrash in the right bag, I try to keep my general pollution levels at a reasonable place, etc.

I have plenty to gain from not following the rules, but I would not feel good about myself.

bkaae··on I trained a small transformer in 1.5hrs and it beats many LLMs
There is no language in the training of this, so there is no l.
bkaae··on 44% on ARC-AGI-1 in 67 cents
Then nothing - that's awesome. People think that LLMs are the know-all do-all solution to every problem now.

Putting solutions in terms of cents is a great way to potentially win over some ai boosters imo. There are other ways to solve hard problems.

I read this as a response to the current hype around LLMs. He is showing computers can solve these issues, without using an LLM architecture. A lot of people have sort of forgot that machine learning is more than just LLMs these days.

I found it to be a very interesting angle.

bkaae··on Don't paste the AI, please
Translating a client question to an actual technical question is the hard part I guess. Google-fu is still a thing, and absolutely a thing you were/are getting paid for it seems.
bkaae··on AI;DR (AI; Didn't Read)
Bless the lord that it's not been presented to us yet, because you just know that it exists already.

A lot of reasons.

I think illegally using natural gas generators to power his datacenters in residential areas, is pretty high on that list.

We should also normalize paying for content at the same time then.

I think that was his argument as well. It looks like there is no more data to find, but then it becomes important to find more data - lo and behold we can make more.

Sounds like the oil scare from 90' - we thought we were gonna run out of oil. But as oil gets more expensive it pays to dig further down to find the stuff that didn't make sense to dig up before.

Did you get older over the last few years? That might make a difference.

Thanks for sharing - is this a normal feature request you are implementing in this example or is this a project from scratch? Trying to get an idea of how your workflow compares to mine.
bkaae··on I Forgot to Get Excited
I don't think I take LLMs for granted - but I've misclassified them as something else.

The reason why it's so cool now, is because we can run good models on our own machines now. That's really what makes it a hackable technology in my head. Calling an API is just another product.. Does that make sense to you?
