@SlLENTPRINCESS this temp in london is like 5x worse. infra is built different here athens is fairly dry and its fine until you hit 40+ but most places in southern europe have aircon tho

as a brazilian i used to think europeans were being silly and dramatic, until i got to athens this week holy fucking shit i'm not built for this

@strat0manc3r @justalexoki there's structural understanding and there's mechanical understanding. you're only counting one.

@eigenboy_ @justalexoki This is a shallow take. Plenty of lead engineers and architects in the pre-ai world who did little hands on work but who are undeniably experts in their app.

if you're still writing code you're unironically falling behind

@basedjensen yeah im sure dario really worries about spooking people

No there is no such conspiracy

I don't think its about protecting math jobs. Discovery isn't understanding. Flooding the field with ai theorems nobody gets isn't a mathematical golden age. More like an oracle dump. Math isn't just proving stuff. It's knowing what matters, how it fits, what it tells us about the world. This pretty much applies word for word to most things about ai + . Its a win-win overall but mathematicians probably become more important.

What's the downside of AI discovering all the math that can possibly be discovered? Math doesn't exist as a jobs program for IMO gold medalists.

@elliotarledge true but rl + skills > rl + skills are distributed which gets people involved (underrated imo)

rl > skills

@basedjensen post-tesla karpathy seems more like a tinkerer-educator with broad interests rather than someone chasing breakthroughs or running a company/lab. very different from Ilya for example he seems to be optimizing for "what's interesting to me right now"

One curious thing about karpathy is he actually refused to start a frontier lab when he could have easily raised billions after leaving oai and now chooses to join anthropic

@bernhardsson yeah stay at home parents are definitely not phone addicted lmao

My optimistic take on this is that evolution will take care of this. There’s a bunch of genes that cause phone addiction (very simplified) and those genes are basically going to go to zero in the next 50 years.

@HotForMoot riley single handedly keeping yaz in business and not a single guy she likes needs her to

My toxic trait is I still believe sam altman could love me even though he's gay and married

@Yuchenj_UW Fake news tbh

I’m so glad AI killed LeetCode interviews. For 10 years, tech companies made every engineer grind the same puzzles and prove they could invert a binary tree from memory. Today, the dumbest AI model can walk in and one-shot the entire interview. Thank you, AI.

There will be many winners and losers in the next 10 years while the stack for AI compute matures. If you want to succeed, focus on timeless numbers like FLOPS/$, FLOPS/W, GB/s/$ and GB/$. Any focus on applications will have a short shelf life.

I should quit being such a fucking idiot

@Jaffer22915438 The Roman army rule: action removes fear.

@home_work_biz @paulg Stockholm felt safe to me too. So does most of London even as a resident. But felt safety is anecdotal, not an argument. The OP was based on vibes, so citing stats was fair and more honest than the "vibe" it's pushing back on. I think we mostly agree.

While the statistics regarding gang-related violence in Stockholm are indeed serious and have reached levels comparable to much larger cities, the context of where and why this happens is crucial. The vast majority of these incidents are targeted attacks within specific criminal networks. For the average person, Stockholm remains one of the safest cities in the world to walk in. These shootings and bombings don't happen randomly in public squares or crowded tourist areas; they almost exclusively occur at specific private addresses or isolated spots linked to the conflict. The idea that walking down the street is 'exciting' or dangerous is a misunderstanding of the situation. It’s a tragic internal conflict among gangs, but it hasn't turned the city's public life into a war zone for the general public.

Stockholm is remarkably walkable. At one point we were walking somewhere and we needed to check a map. It was such a relief not to have to think about the phone being stolen. In London we always duck into a doorway before checking a phone on the street.

@Glanhir @paulg Also very high conviction rate, near-zero immigration for decades, better policing. I’m not just saying culture as a cop out. Just saying that this wouldn’t be a thing in todays west

@Glanhir @paulg Yes, good for Japan. Asian culture is different though. Their problems are of different nature but that’s a topic for another day. Easier to compare western cities
