With Real World Cryptography coming up next week, I wanted to take an opportunity to point out that our current post-quantum cryptographic primitives are not suitable for the web dadrian.io/blog/posts/pqc…

Monitoring the “monitoring the situation” monitor situation

@Jack_Raines @Polymarket I think it was probably 70/30 dudes

I want a @Polymarket on the gender ratio in this bar later.

@sdamico The orb was pondered. Particularly when it was looking at people.

@dadrian But did you ponder the orb 🤔

pondering the orb is the new monitoring the situation

@matt_slotnick It's the same it's always been. Be iterative. As technology improves, try again.

really good

@matt_slotnick @buccocapital pretty sure it's this guy youtube.com/watch?v=ysmLA5…

@buccocapital what is Cleveland research

I would be so so so curious to meet the guy willing to put his career on the line by ripping out SAP to replace it with Claude I would also like to know if this is a public company so I can short it

The people demand more Duncan Idaho.

I live for @eastdakota shitposting his way to acquiring Park City from Vail

@__apf__ Did Gemini write this

@sdamico Tentatively planning on going Friday.

Who wants to go on Saturday? San Francisco is exporting its culture

Yes.

@runsybil @Fortune @sharongoldman Do you, like, have a product?

Please check out our feature in @Fortune from the inimitable @sharongoldman x.com/sharongoldman/…

The way we hack is changing and we're building what comes next We've raised a total of $40M to create the AI-native platform for offensive security

Look, he seems like a cool guy but I wouldn't want him on my board neither.

@chamath Everyone except Chamath and Jensen need to learn how to pack pants without them wrinkling.

Pod will be a banger. All Jensen all the time - from GTC! Up soon…

If I owned an AI company and wanted to create maximum cultural mayhem, I'd start buying up homes and turning them into little mini datacenters

This actually was very well-known in 2008. But by 2019 there had been a massive influx in "tourists" who knew essentially none of lessons of the last 30 years, which is why Sutton's Bitter Lesson became an important piece of writing. Samip's surprise is the thing he's addressing: we knew this before, and if we don't remember it now, we're going to waste a lot of time. Yes. Seriously. Pretty much everyone knew. In 2001, Banko & Brill had written a fairly well-known paper (Scaling to Very Very Large Corpora for Natural Language Disambiguation) which showed that the best algorithms under-performed the worst algorithms with more data. (See screenshot 1.) This happened again and again, in basically every domain of ML, for 15 years. It is why "big data" was a thing. It's a large part of why Hadoop was a thing. It's why the Bayesian revolution raged from 2004 to 2014 was in a perpetual yin-yang debate about model complexity and data size. It's why NLP people constantly debated whether NLP was engineering or mechanized linguistics. And it's why, in 2016, Halevy, Norvig et al packaged up the lessons from all these different domains (image synth, NLP tasks, and so on) into their own survey, The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Data, which had its own impact on the newer generation. So, no, it's not remarkable at all that the Google founders knew this. This was absolutely party line at Google, and they are a big reason this was part of the discourse at all. I personally think the really remarkable thing is how few people understood that the reason the lesson gets its own name, the bitter lesson, is we keep having to re-learn it.

Oh, so just because there's a "tornado risk" and "forecasted winds of 40-75 mph" I should "be safe" and "secure items on my patio" and "work from home"? The Democrats are ruining this country!

@sdamico In Logan Circle, will buy you a drink

dc fri+ for a couple days also going to ALABAMA for the first time ever, iykyk

@Pinboard The interstates are awful. The US highways are some of the most beautiful roads in the country.

One reason I live here is because people like this guy keep driving.
