@karpathy Here's my run at this https://t.co/rcyWkdkeU9, like @omarsar0 I've been obsessed with this lately, trying to build a system which does more thinking at ingestion-time in the hope of surfacing original synthesis and genuine innovation

[Mark Cheverton @ennui2342]

@karpathy I've found that synthesis at ingestion time by integrating information into a zettelkasten wiki delivers improvement over just straight storage and indexing. I've built a similar setup and found information is accurately retrieved for enrichment using only file navigation tools.

"C is a reasonably good language for compilers to generate, but the idea that human beings should program in it is completely absurd." - Bertand Meyer

"The hottest new programming language is English" - @karpathy

Now Chatgpt can use tools, it has access to the most powerful calculator in the world with Wolfram. The next tool on my wishlist is access to IoT sensor and actuator networks https://t.co/pkSx8rXlkz

Redgate is on a journey from highly independent product teams, to an integrated platform. Along the way we're leaning on Team Topologies, Wardley Maps, and Accelerate to guide our own DevOps transformation. https://t.co/CjYEtmZ7i5 #devops #teamtopologies #platforms
