Yeah the CoT gives such a human thought process vibes but I wonder they “fined-tuned” it to sound like that.

Also for Yann, I’d let @garymarcus.bsky.social fight with him lol

I’m blocking whoever argues that the Deepseek-R1 thinking is not AGI. I’m not even joking. This thing is incredible…

I don’t know about you but for someone who has so many questions about so many things all the time LLMs provide a sense of security and emotional support.

RIP tiktok i loved your work on melting the brain of the populace

Australian Open has thrown my sleep out the window

Faster quantum chemistry simulations on a quantum computer with improved tensor factorization and active volume compilation Electronic structure calculations of molecular systems are among the most promising applications for fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) in quantum chemistry and drug design. However, while recent...

SOTA fault-tolerant results for one of the largest and most promising chemistry applications running on fault-tolerant quantum computers. Can’t be more proud of this team!

I’m very bad at remembering details in books that I read. One thing that I have found to be both enjoyable and also helpful with retaining is contemplative reading by using LLMs, specifically Gemini 2.0. It’s amazing how the 1 million token enable you to have a conversation with a book.

Being sick on onboarding your new direct hire is always fun! Especially if all the kids are sick and miss school too. Very work friendly.

Nothing is more fun than have your kid get sick after 4 days of being at daycare after the break… oh wait there is; when his mom goes on a work trip and you’re left alone to take care of him

Did you know that not only Apple takes 30% of all purchases through App Store, they charge you $100/year to “develop” apps with such a badly designed framework? That’s insane… how are we okay with this?

Me: “The new tennis season is starting…. With Australian Open!!!!!”

Wife: “Nooooooooooooooo”

Engineers are the wizards who turn the magic of science into real-world sorcery. They're the ones who make the impossible happen.

This position is for a tech lead who is passionate about working with cutting-edge data systems. The systems are responsible for managing millions of wafer testing data.

Refactoring notebooks into event-driven APIs and services on a Friday night is such a vibe.

Apparently they were working on a new OS architecture incorporating LLMs.

Then out of nowhere, OpenAI found out about his secret plans and sent people to my house, where he was hiding, to talk to him.

I need Jesus 🤦🏻‍♂️

He presented the new GPT-5’s capabilities to a group of people, which the new model was mostly focused on video. His main point was that it is the first time that the model was able to generalize and achieve human-level consciousness, and intelligence.

I had a dream last night about Sam Altman. I was a very close friend of his, like his best friend. He had the entire model on a laptop and THAT WAS THR ONLY COPY. He was planning to leave OpenAI, secretly, without telling anyone.

The world of startups is truly wild. Each has its own unique blend of collaboration and autonomy. It's like a rocket at the exact moment it's about to blast off from startup to scaleup - thrilling, chaotic, and sometimes shaking! You need to be adaptable and flexible while holding your ground.

I’m basically moving on from using ChatGPT o1 to Gemini 2 flash thinking… that thing rocks! Congratulations to the google team for catching up and surpassing OpenAI

The biggest discovery artificial intelligence might make in the next 5 to 10 years is how to solve quantum error correction and build functional quantum computers with millions of qubits.

"AI Supremacy" occurs when quantum computing and its capabilities is harnessed by our most powerful AIs.

Thank you! Do you have recommendations for good sci-fi? (Beside Asimov)

I’m reading it and without spoiling it for me, can you say why?

I wish Slack would have a feature for “muted keywords”

Arc just wiped my emotional support archived tabs. Probably wise and someone had to do it.

Perplexity for search
Claude/ChatGPT for coding
Gemini for long attachment and materials
Grok for …

This is interesting coming from Jensen. Intentionally, Nvidia has definitely not invested in developing quantum “hardware” in-house. They have been trying to position themselves as one of the leaders without hardware, as proven by focusing on CUDA-Q.

Jensen:
"15-30 years away from being useful"

Design and synthesis of scalable quantum programs We present a scalable, robust approach to creating quantum programs of arbitrary size and complexity. The approach is based on the true abstraction of the problem. The quantum program is expressed in…

I read a summary of this paper and it makes a lot of sense; we need abstractions for quantum programs and move from a imperative approach to declarative but I need to read it in details to see how they can actually achieve that.
