This is a good explanation of why the gap between open and closed models is larger than it appears in benchmarks. I would add in that current open models are also more fragile than closed: they handle

To clarify, the current terminals can support peak download speeds of 400-500 Mbps. The 220 Mbps number is referring to actual in-flight performance given that the satellite to user beams are shared a

A lot of work around AI in 2023 was spent on building picks and shovels. I would know this because that was basically the core goal of the original @llama_index framework. Today, a lot of that is no l

This post likely refers to an academic honor or recognition that Richard Dawkins received but Daniel Dennett did not, posted as a commentary by cognitive scientist Gary Marcus on X (formerly Twitter).

Gary Marcus comments on financial incentives in AI discourse, suggesting that posting sensationalized or false claims about artificial intelligence could generate significant revenue. This reflects Ma

For decades, prehistorical evidence was forced through a left-wing theory filter: primitive communism, the noble savage, and the myth that violence came from hierarchy, property, and “the system.” But

This Replit broadcast likely covered updates on Free Agent Day, a community event or initiative, and provided office hours for participants in a Buildathon (a hackathon-style building competition). Th
