Chris Anderson Vinod Khosla Yes, I do. LLMs produce their answers with a fixed amount of computation per token. There is no way for them to devote more (potentially unlimited) time and effort to solving difficult problems. This is very much akin to the human fast and subconscious "System 1" decision

somedays hacker news just has a great collection of relevant technical articles on the frontpage and it's magical

Evidently, they seem too hard or complicated to implement for the “root mean square programmer”. Our general question then becomes ... “how many neurons must fire in the head of the programmer to solve the dictionary problem in logarithmic time?” ic.unicamp.br/~celio/peer2pe… 😂

Understanding graph theory will seriously enhance your engineering skills; you must absolutely be familiar with them. Here's a graph theory quickstart, in collaboration with Alejandro Piad Morffis. Read on:

how does a girl find a husband if she rarely leaves her house and also doesn't use dating apps

actually I’m gonna go be a doctor, get back to me when proofs are mainstream in programming

An epoch @ Fission is now over. I'm searching for a dope role that leverages my varied background & abilities. Resume: zee.town/zeeshan/resume/ GH: github.com/zeeshanlakhani Scholar: scholar.google.com/citations?user… Into: PL & type systems, Rust, network fns, dist. systems & compute, Wasm.

It turns out that different notions of higher-order/synergistic/emergent effects are all just Möbius inversions of macro quantities on different decompositions. I've started to collect some in this table, but please let me know if you find any more! arxiv.org/abs/2404.14423

MLPs are so foundational, but are there alternatives? MLPs place activation functions on neurons, but can we instead place (learnable) activation functions on weights? Yes, we KAN! We propose Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN), which are more accurate and interpretable than MLPs.🧵

Alright I’ve made enough progress towards my med school goals that I can officially say fuck the tech industry, while individuals have been good to me the industry as a whole has treated me like shit and I’ve busted my ass and given my life to it, so yea, fuck the tech industry

some stuff i did recently! sound design by @obifobi147

chemistry is wild

I draw mathematical worlds. These ideas don't fit on the page: They're too abstract, too far reaching, or too high dimensional. To draw them, I cheat. Here are some shortcuts and shorthands I use while illustrating math 🧵

you might call it a "cheap shot," but i prefer to think of it as readily affordable and widely accessible

NEW: we may have passed peak obesity 🎉📈📉🙏 In what might be one of the most significant trends I have ever charted, the US obesity rate fell last year.

might as well memorize the periodic table

cute

I got into med school at the Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine, start next month in Meridian!
