We lost a great Canadian today.

A voice for common sense. A truly gifted writer who was the master of the pen with a unique and lucid prose. A proud Newfoundlander and a patriotic Canadian. May he rest in peace.

The craziest LLaMA 3 reveal:

The 400B+ version of the model is **on par with Claude 3 Opus**, and it's still training.

Soon, we'll have a better-than-Opus, fully open-source model.

The implications are huge.

Not 100% sure what to make of this timey-wimey paper showing GPT-4 is able to predict the future quite accurately (or, after least make guesses about events that happen after its training cut-off) but only when asked to tell stories about what will happen. https://t.co/r6H0FOTpx7

Yesterday we wrapped up the W24 batch. We did a lot of things for the first time this batch.

Here were the high points for me ...

Data pipelines will put you in the top 1% of the market.

It's not enough to know Python. You need to understand how to use it to manipulate data in production applications.

Here is the simplest explanation you'll find online on how to build your first pipeline (In Python—the best programming language in the world).

First, there are three things you need when building a production application:

• You need it to be reliable
• You need it to be scalable
• You need it to be efficient

You can't accomplish any of that without using a pipeline to orchestrate the process.

To build your first pipeline, you need to understand a couple of concepts:

1. Data Nodes: They represent any data you want to load, manipulate, or save.

2. Tasks: These are functions that will interact with the data.

A pipeline combines data nodes with tasks. It's that simple!

I build a simple pipeline to process a few dataset columns in this short video. I'm using Taipy, an open-source library that lets you build and orchestrate pipelines.

Star their GitHub repository:

Look at the video. It doesn't get easier than that!

Thanks to the team behind Taipy for collaborating with me on this post.

I think a lot about the fact that one of the single most expensive things you can do at a company is call a meeting. And anyone can do it! And people aren’t trained on how to run meetings well & efficiently!

Are medical studies being written with ChatGPT?

Well, we all know ChatGPT overuses the word "delve".

Look below at how often the word 'delve' is used in papers on PubMed (2023 was the first full year of ChatGPT).

LLMs have quickly become a consumer surplus.

What does this mean?

Tons of investment + scorched earth economics = consumers win no matter which company ultimately wins.

It’s amazing to see how fast this has happened in a market this important.

On behalf of our family, Laureen, Ben, Rachel, and I offer our deepest sympathies to Mila, Caroline, Ben, Mark, Nicholas, and their families.

History will record that Mr. Mulroney’s premiership was transformational.

Prime Minister Mulroney fought to secure the Free Trade Agreement with the United States, from which Canada has benefitted immensely ever since.

Prime Minister Mulroney stood for freedom and democracy on the world stage, in his principled opposition to apartheid in South Africa, his enduring support for Israel, and his advocacy of independence for Ukraine and the other European nations long under the yoke of Soviet communism.

Prime Minister Mulroney championed significant international environmental measures including the Montreal Protocol and the Canada-US Acid Rain Treaty.

Mr. Mulroney will also be remembered as the first Canadian Conservative leader to win back-to-back majority mandates since Sir John A. Macdonald, including the largest electoral victory in Canadian history.

Canada has lost a historic figure, and we mourn his passing with all his many friends and associates.

[Caroline Mulroney @C_Mulroney]

On behalf of my mother and our family, it is with great sadness we announce the passing of my father, The Right Honourable Brian Mulroney, Canada’s 18th Prime Minister. He died peacefully, surrounded by family.

Trudeau’s officials at the Vancouver Port tried to ban trucks older than 12 years, costing these truckers hundreds of thousands each. Conservatives fought back and saved the livelihoods of these heroes that deliver our groceries.

Let’s make the country work for the people who do the work.
