How is it a "benefit to humanity" for the #ChatGPT AIs to so closely replicate (i.e. potentially replace) a human? (i.e. the decision to incl. RLHF) Why couldn't the impressive speed and accuracy of the tools & solutions be delivered without this element? #ai#openai
Seeing Silicon Valley in shambles calling for tighter export regulations against China and spewing conspiracy theories to make the DeepSeek team look bad is weak af.
If you are going to win, do it with your ideas and execution and stop asking the government to give you an unfair advantage.
Replay the story of where you have been (or what you have done) that led up to where you are now, and then visualize what you and others must do in the future so you will reach your goals. #principleoftheday
Today's "DeepSeek selloff" in the stock market -- attributed to DeepSeek V3/R1 disrupting the tech ecosystem -- is another sign that the application layer is a great place to be. The foundation model layer being hyper-competitive is great for people building applications.
Goodbye ChatGPT
It's just over a week since Deepseek R1 dropped, and people are shocked by its potential.
13 jaw-dropping updates you need to know (Don't miss the 5th one)
DeepSeek R1 is *the* best model available right now. It's at the level of o1, but you can use it for free, and it's much faster.
A huge leap forward that nobody saw coming. No wonder so many people are throwing tantrums online trying to discredit the Chinese students who built this.
You can use DeepSeek in Visual Studio Code right now:
1. Install the Qodo Gen AI extension
2. Select DeepSeek R1 from their list of models
The Qodo team is hosting DeepSeek on their servers, so none of your data will go to China.
I've been building a Tetris game using DeepSeek, and this is the most impressive model I've seen so far.
Gold is trading at another record high this morning, consistent with the market’s’ main takeaway from yesterday’s Federal Reserve meeting — that is, the world’s most powerful central bank seems willing to tolerate higher inflation for longer.

If I were to start my Machine Learning career from scratch (as an engineer), I'd focus here (no specific order):
1. SQL
2. Python
3. ML fundamentals
4. DSA
5. Testing
6. Prob, stats, lin. alg
7. Problem solving
And building as much as possible.
This is David Shaw.
He’s the billionaire hedge fund manager nicknamed “King of the Quants”.
Over his time, he was part of the highest-performing funds,
Exploiting inefficiencies like none other.
Here's how he created billions in wealth:
I wrote a lot about the people I call "shapers" in my book Principles: Life & Work. I use the word to mean someone who comes up with unique and valuable visions and builds them out beautifully, typically over the doubts of others. Shapers get both the big picture and the details right. To me, it seems that Shaper = Visionary + Practical Thinker + Determined.
I've found that shapers tend to share attributes such as intense curiosity and a compulsive need to make sense of things, independent thinking that verges on rebelliousness, a need to dream big and unconventionally, a practicality and determination to push through all obstacles to achieve their goals, and a knowledge of their own and others' weaknesses and strengths so they can orchestrate teams to achieve them. Perhaps even more importantly, they can hold conflicting thoughts simultaneously and look at them from different angles. They typically love to knock things around with other really smart people and can easily navigate back and forth between the big picture and the granular details, counting both as equally important.
People wired with enough of these ways of thinking that they can operate in the world as shapers are very rare. But they could never succeed without working with others who are more naturally suited for other things and whose ways of thinking and acting are also essential.
Knowing how one is wired is a necessary first step on any life journey. It doesn't matter what you do with your life, as long as you are doing what is consistent with your nature and your aspirations. Having spent time with some of the richest, most powerful, most admired people in the world, as well as some of the poorest, most disadvantaged people in the most obscure corners of the globe, I can assure you that, beyond a basic level, there is no correlation between happiness levels and conventional markers of success. A carpenter who derives his deepest satisfaction from working with wood can easily have a life as good or better than the president of the United States. If you've learned anything from Principles: Life & Work I hope it's that everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and everyone has an important role to play in life. Nature made everything and everyone for a purpose. The courage that's needed the most isn't the kind that drives you to prevail over others, but the kind that allows you to be true to your truest self, no matter what other people want you to be. #principleoftheday
A surprising asset could now be the best hedge for 60/40 portfolios. Christian Mueller-Glissmann of Goldman Sachs Research separates the signal from the noise.
Firms that allocate assets are, for a second year in a row, more interested in hedge funds that invest in credit than in any other strategy, according to Goldman Sachs’ Prime Services. Read more about the strategies that are most in demand. https://t.co/a9D1lSAxkn
