There's an entire parallel scientific corpus most western researches never see.
Today i'm launching chinarxiv.org, a fully automated translation pipeline of all Chinese preprints, including the figures, to make that available.
So for meta prompting, I am currently working on an expansion of ChinaRxiv for russian papers and working on the challenging part of extracting meaningful text from very old, complex math which all default OCR packages and models dont do that well.
My draft goal: expand our ability to measure extraction yield, and then make a plan and execute on improving extraction while preventing regressions on all of our quality assurance measures
Image: that goal that it expanded it to
working out after perfect sleep and diet for months:
- feels fine
- muscle aches a bit
- as strong as normal
working out after a night on the beers:
- superhuman strength
- PR everything
- look snatched and dry
@tallsnail i took older boy grocery shopping yesterday and it was just like actually hanging out with a person rather than attending to a baby and was so fun
it sounds dumb but taking my 2yo and 3mo somewhere by myself and returning home triumphantly with everyone happy gives me a level of satisfaction that no career milestone has ever touched
@joodalooped its very specifically trying to secure professional users for training data.
Imagine a world where there was no claude sub, but was a chatgpt sub (or opposite). Usage would completely flood to the subsidized model, no question.
what is the conventional wisdom (or your hot take) on why model labs have such generous usage limits on subscriptions vs. the raw API?
do they actually hope subscription usage will start to cost them less? need a way to use their GPUs? marketing through selling $ for pennies?
@lillybilly299 hmm male to male comms would be like "bro calm the fuck down get a hold of yourself. tell me whats goin on"
woman to male comms needs to be slightly more strategic for obvious reasons depending on relationship
@teodorio Seems like a fun life but its a young single mans game. Cant imagine trying to bounce like that / timezone arb with kids
Glad someone is doing it!
I love the new aristocratic nomadic class. Most make their money from digital services or creative stuff on the internet but not like the average digital nomad, it's serious money, some influence the world discourse.
The NY/SF/London striver dream has been superseded by this.
@thsottiaux@giffmana extremely co recommend!
Eventually ai subs will be as family scale as netflix or whatever. Shared linked billing, parental controls, monitoring, customization of childs system prompt (i.e. do not directly answer homework questions!), and more
@tallsnail I think theres a neurotic Reels/tiktok fueled version and the "grab a single toy as you walk out the door so hes got something for the car seat" version that is wholly rational and fine.
Like with our small one, i just tell her grab a dolly when we get ready to go
Ok so let's talk about the "busy bag" moms. I admire the craft, but i sense that this sort of thing is unnecessary and overhyped
I am just not gonna be keeping a curated selection of toys and freshly unstickered sticker sheets available in my bag for any random outing. I release myself from this effort
my son will be eating the food, playing with the sugar packets, whatever. Maybe sometimes we dig around in the bag and find some crumpled lego instructions, or a local realtor's promotional notepad. We will just be bailing or changing the outing when it's not working anymore.
Also!! I find that when a more organized/prepared mom generously shares a pile of toys with my kid, his behavior often seems to get worse anyway!
I read Ed Zitron’s substack but I still don’t really get what his project is about or who it is *for*. I don’t understand the *why* of it. Who is his audience? What is he trying to persuade them to do? Is he trying to persuade VCs to stop investing in AI?
