despite japanese and korean being “similar”, the devil in the details leads to many cultural misunderstandings (and actual anger) my former boss (korean) chewed me out for hours because i didn’t refer to him honorifically when speaking japanese. my japanese was correct!

have any of my followers ever used software developed by nous research, and if so, how many cryptocurrency miners did it install on your computer?

after nous research goes bankrupt, all of the employees will pivot from “i am an ai researcher but i am not allowed to post on arxiv” to “i am a teacher but i am legally not allowed within 500 feet of a school”

you don’t necessarily need a phd in order to do good research but when someone with a phd in that field looks at what you wrote and says “this is literal trash and would get desk rejected from any conference” you are not the guy who can do research without a phd

so much alpha in communicating your ideas as clearly as possible. people (eg karpathy) have built entire careers off of this one skill conversely, intentional obfuscation or refusal to do this should be seen as a red flag

999 times out of 1000 “independent researcher” is a euphemism for “undiagnosed schizophrenia” and if you want to prove you’re the 1/1000 case you need to get your paper accepted to iclr after double blind review

kinda funny how iran is “close to a nuclear weapon” and that’s enough to get the usa ready to put boots on the ground but north korea has been detonating nuclear weapons for decades and the usa hasn’t done much other than asked them nicely to stop
