Actually this was really good - a tour from one transistor to a small CPU (Scott CPU, to be precise). The YouTube playlist: youtube.com/watch?v=HaBMAD… I also haven't yet come across the "But How Do It Know" by Scott, which this is based on, and which looks great:

Very exciting! Congrats Robin and the Black Forest Labs team (of Stable Diffusion fame) on the launch! The open sourced FLUX.1 image gen model looks very strong, main page with examples: blackforestlabs.ai Clean/readable (inference) code on GitHub: github.com/black-forest-l…

August 1, 2024: The Music Video Fun hack just stitching up gen AI tools :), in this case to create a music video for today. - copy paste the entire WSJ front page into Claude - ask it to generate multiple scenes and give visual descriptions for them - copy paste scene

So cool! farm.bot (FarmBot) FarmBot is a bit like solar panels for food. I love the idea that automation could help us reclaim control over our food production and move it from farms back into our own backyards. (Also - food Factorio!) youtube.com/watch?v=qwSbWy…

Predictions for the future of software engineering:

# RLHF is just barely RL Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is the third (and last) major stage of training an LLM, after pretraining and supervised finetuning (SFT). My rant on RLHF is that it is just barely RL, in a way that I think is not too widely

Be good. Future AIs are watching.

SQL injection-like attack on LLMs with special tokens The decision by LLM tokenizers to parse special tokens in the input string (<s>, <|endoftext|>, etc.), while convenient looking, leads to footguns at best and LLM security vulnerabilities at worst, equivalent to SQL injection

Actually I was reading the book "A Poison Like No Other: How Microplastics Corrupted Our Planet and Our Bodies" just last week. I didn't realize the extent to which plastics have come to permeate and mess with our entire environment. It's not just about the polymer granules of

Haha we've all been there. I stumbled by this tweet earlier today and tried to write a little utility that auto-generates git commit message based on the git diff of staged changes. Gist: gist.github.com/karpathy/1dd02… So just typing `gcm` (short for git commit -m) auto-generates a

Future be like tab tab tab

This was a cool listen. I think Cloud+AI is increasingly making the @levelsio -style model of a scrappy solo serial micro-entrepreneur viable, allowing one person to spin up and run a number of companies that generate income, possibly well into billion-dollar valuations.

I feel like a large amount of GDP is locked up because it is difficult for person A to very conveniently pay 5 cents to person B. Current high fixed costs per transaction force each of them to be of high enough amounts, which results in business models with purchase bundles,

Thank you sarah guo // conviction and Elad Gil for hosting me on the No Priors pod, pleasure to talk with you (as always!)

Very cool, place well under “feel the AGI” category. As mentioned in the post, making actual apps is a lot more than code, you have to set up the entire environment, deploy it, etc. Automating all of this other infra will allow anyone to quickly build and deploy entire web apps.
