We offer no explanation as to why Noams are so good at AI; we attribute their success, as all else, to divine benevolence.

I'm always thrilled to have more Noams at @OpenAI, but I'm especially thrilled to welcome @NoamShazeer!

@thdxr fun fact 1: "ye olde" is a bit of mistake because the old english "thorn" letter (which sounds like "th" AFAIK) couldn't be easily printed so some guy just used "y" which looked like it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ye_olde

I just had my six agent swarm build 'helloworld' in go. It took them 67 minutes and they produced 1558 lines of code, of which 24 were in the actual application. The rest were unit tests, acceptance tests, QA procedures, scripts, and some miscellaneous files.
OK, yeah, that's actual AI slop. Don't run Hello, World through a disciplined engineering process meant for more complicated applications.

"fmt"

func run(args []string, stdout, stderr io.Writer) int {
result := console.Run(args)
fmt.Fprint(stdout, result.Stdout)
fmt.Fprint(stderr, result.Stderr)
return result.Status

func commandLineArgs() []string {
return os.Args[1:]

Gotta say I’m starting to feel good about Sheel’s chances here
Sheel Mohnot@pitdesi
I’ll make a bet here. Open to @rabois or anyone else $100k to charity of winners choice if a company founded in SF between March 2020 and Sep 2023 is valued at $5B+ within 10 years.

@GrantSlatton Note that there’s an edge case if your sample didn’t contain any “doubletons”. In that case it means your sample size was probably not large enough and you should increase it. However simply stopping when you get one doubleton probably isn’t correct as it feels like bias
English
simple and useful algo for your toolkit: chao1 cardinality estimation
have a large dataset and wanna estimate cardinality?
1. take a sample
2. count number of samples that appear exactly 1 or 2 times
3. estimate = sampled uniques + singletons^2 / (2*doubletons)

Also the continent with the lowest crime rate!
@ratlimit@ratlimit
Not a coincidence that the only continent with no billionaires also has no one living in poverty.

@kylekriegel @Brady_H Obvious this is a joke but being real, even a bad car can get 20 mpg. Assume the gel has 100 kcal, a decent rule of thumb is 100 kcal/mile which holds up surprisingly well across diff speeds. So 1 mile per gel. Don’t trust this analysis
English
@Brady_H How far do you run on 1 Maurten gel? What's your MPG (Miles Per Gel) and what's your car's MPG? That's the real math.
I guess I could beat my car in that math, which is depressing. Ideally I'd be consuming a couple more gels but I COULD win that competition.

@Predamame “How can I run a 4 minute mile?”
“Let’s break it down: a 4 minute mile would mean 1 minute per lap. To do this, run four 60 second laps consecutively. The last one should be slightly faster to account for the difference between a mile and 1600m”

AI's actually creating jobs. Think about all of the billable hours that physical therapists will get with this tech.

apple intelligence wants me to do what?!?

@HankFrank This. Show up, use porta potty, line up in corral, national anthem, then run. No stress, all race.

World Majors and other big marathons get most of the attention.
I get it. I’ve run Boston 3x and CIM. They’re incredible.
But two of my six marathons were small local races, and if your goal is time, don’t overlook them.
Cheaper. Easier race morning. Less travel stress. Less chaos. More control. Sometimes better courses.
The best marathon experience and the best PR setup are not always the same race.

@MatthewBerman @AnkitGordhandas That’s gonna be awkward when they see each other again

@GergelyOrosz Now you gotta be familiar with the runic alphabet to prove you’re a human
English
Discord's "are you human" captcha went from "a human can solve it immediately" to "sit down and do some work for it."
I can do it, but captchas were meant to be dead simple for humans, hard for bots. This is NOT dead simple for humans...
