Linear Algebra I

WTF i literally just run this on the terminal: $ pip install moshi_mlx $ python -m moshi_mlx.local_web -q 4 and now have a fully voice to voice ai running locally on my mac 🤯

just learned about the “80s Hong Kong pre-wedding” photography style that’s supposed to emphasize the authenticity and rawness of marriage. i’m kinda obsessed with this

Strong evidence showing that getting a PhD is extremely bad for your mental health. A new paper uses Swedish medical records and matches them to the full population of PhD students for which the authors could get gender and birth year data from 2006 to 2017. After some exclusion

We have our first the tiny corp box! :D

Here is my talk at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (after some delay😅) I made this talk last year when I was thinking about a paradigm shift. This delayed posting is timely as we just released o1, which I believe is a new paradigm. It's a good time to zoom out for high level thinking. (1/11)

Count me in. Anecdata: Columbia University was not supportive.

Did no one look at Figure 1?

College football is among the most exploitative and harmful institutions in the US. Coaches, AD officials, presidents and members of the sports media complex richly benefit as players bear the life-altering costs. Our solution? Abolish it. For The Nation thenation.com/?post_type=art…

A funny thing happened as the WaPo tried to map out half a billion years of global temperatures and the "disaster of global warming"

It's widely believed that Americans pay a lot more than other countries do for the same drugs. A new analysis shows that's true for name-brand drugs, but the opposite is true for generics!

100% behind this. Every student’s trajectory is different. Those in the middle of the class can overcome those at the top with time, if exposed to the right ideas. There is no way to tell who is the best student until a decade passes and we see their contributions to the world.

i've been going on and on about this, but basically, AI flips electricity on its head. previously, nearly half the cost of electricity to the consumer was allocated towards distributing it where (and when) you want it. AI data centers want upwards of hundreds of megawatts of

I just discovered something called accidental baroque which are photographs that feel like baroque paintings. I love this as a genre so much. Send me your accidental baroques.

the more i use linear algebra, the more convinced i am that university mathematics is sort of broken? spending more time on geometric intuitions of things like SVD would be way more useful than just rote learning how to calculate eigenvalues.

A VC firm I had a Zoom meeting with used Otter AI to record the call, and after the meeting, it automatically emailed me the transcript, including hours of their private conversations afterward, where they discussed intimate, confidential details about their business.

What a week for China. Here's the thread 🧵1/10

Recently overheard a Groq employee: apparently their per-token costs are 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than what they charge, and the new chip won't materially help. There's no credible plan to fix this. This is why they aren't raising rate limits. Very bearish.

I finally visualized what it's been like for me learning Mandarin - words cluster into "phono-semantic-pictorial" compounds: Hundreds of "radicals" that make up the thousands of characters carry information by shape, sound or intrinsic meaning Code: colab.research.google.com/github/jaanli/…
