Curious to hear my fellow hacker's feedback on my new years day musing.

As an AI/ML practitioner in the Third World, curious to hear your thoughts on the proposed three-world division and why nobody seems interested in the huge market lifting the third world of AI/ML.

You meant to ask "Has r1 made SFT obsolete?" ?

Authors are from Northeaster University, Shenyang, China, not the Northeastern U in Boston. Don't understand why the two Chinese professors write an LLM book in english, definitely not from experiences, probably under pressure to publish.

Do you have appetite for a poem? @sama made it on my list of Silicon Valley villains [1] long time ago:

"Villain staging the show / open, close / you can count on the con man to wow you / even though, the only trick he knows / is the “law” of scale / but let's just hope / The con man doesn't turn into evil / when the thing he has is real and powerful"

Dude, it's not the LLM that does the reasoning. Rather it's the layers and layers of scaffolding around LLM that simulate reasoning.

The moment 'tooling' became a thing for LLM, it reminded me 'rules' for expert system which caused one of the AI winter. The number of 'tools' you need to solve real use cases will be untenable soon enough.

Tech celebrities need to be held accountable by us, the people. Curious to hear HN's opinions of a rating system I proposed.

My brother in-law is the VP engineering of an competitor to LinkSpace. No they didn't steal it. They don't even have access of Google!

Private aerospace startups face huge push backs from state-owned agencies for two apparent reasons: (1) most of the engineers of the startups left their job in those agencies for these startups. (2) The progresses these startups made expose how slow, bloated and inefficient the government-run agencies are. As a result of the hostility, the startups have little access to suppliers and testing facilities etc., not to mention the technological know-hows.
