More often than we’d like to admit, the difference is simply who wrote the rules.

One of The Count of Monte Cristo‘s deepest ideas is that morality often follows status. The sailor, the smuggler, the judge, the banker, and the count all pursue survival, wealth, or power. Society calls some paths “professions” and others “crimes.”

A super long overdue (3+ years?) post on scaling laws.

Compute is expensive. Scaling laws are a way to help us reason about the optimal compute allocation between data and model size before committing to a large run.

The post covers what scaling laws predict, how compute-optimal allocation works, why Kaplan et al. and Chinchilla disagree, and how data limits + fitting details make extrapolation tricky.

i feel like i can pretty much maintain a 5x in productivity throughout the day by being really good at code and plan review, but i have to know > 80% of what's going on for any particular coding task. so yeah, don't outsource your thinking, outsource your doing.

Decision-making: 1) Identify core problem with probing questions. 2) Assess the decision's depth of impact. 3) Evaluate consequences & relationship with other decisions. 4) Consider timing & windows of opportunity. Continuously refine based on feedback.

Many people mistakenly think that large language models that generate one word at a time is the end game.
Connecting LLMs with tools, e.g.: search engines, python interpreters, etc., is super exciting, and leverages tools' power, robustness & more!
