This week, I learned: Architecture.md is an emerging standard Managing wealth requires training. htmz is a fantastic way to load HTML into elements! Suguna Poultry is Using robots to walk in their farms, use sound and bird eyes and movement to predict birth health over 1-2 weeks Light on the back of the bird’s back AND face => lays eggs in 14 days, else takes days later (girls and mobile phones?) Teknoturf is using Gen AI to Improve prompts when teaching prompt engineering. Pronounce languages better, identifying which words Tamilians and Malayalis will mis-pronounce. Explore IRBlaster. It can control AC and can automatically increase temperature at night. My view: LLMs are general purpose and more capable than SLMs. They’ll win, like CPUs won over special-purpose chips. GPUs will optimize for LLMs and as usage grows, cost will fall. Andrej Karpathy’s summary of sharp edges in tokenization uses tiktokenizer to explain: Why LLMs can’t be used for spelling Why LLMs are better at English than other languages Why LLMs are bad at math Why SolidGoldMagiKarp is a single token Why trailing spaces are bad Why YAML tokenizes more efficiently than JSON ssyoutube.com: Just add “ss” to “youtube.com” on the video and you can download YouTube videos Discussions with Sachin, AMAT Microsoft said Indigo, Air India uses LLM based bookings Meta invested $70bn in GPUs. Sam Altman is investing $7tn! NVIDIA has a price PREMIUM not discount for bulk GPUs! AMD is the next company to watch for Numenta - Subutai Ahmad - deploys AI models on CPUs #TODO Read A Thousand Brains by Subutai Ahmad Sanjeev Sharma Swaayatt Robots: Autonomous driving in India Deepeigen: Education Rohan Shravan, Bangalore. Likes sharing knowledge. Amazing teacher. IIT KGP 2008. Interested in exploring quantum computing Tresa Motors, Inkers App, The School of AI AMAT is working on photon-based computing. science research models. AI for science. Like Google: Deepmind Genome, Microsoft: Metagen quantum: AMAT is actively in into this. Nagapati Banda is driving this John Kelly is predicting a ChatGPT moment in quantum in a few years Adobe express has a forever free video to GIF converter Edge workspaces let me keep the same tabs open across laptops! Command line interface guidelines RAWGraphs has a custom charts API that is worth learning from Python fastcore has decorators like @typedispatch, Self, etc. All image-to-text models on HuggingFace wddbfs mounts SQLite as a file system. I had a bit of trouble, maybe with Python package versions. Google is using LLM powered bug identification HuggingFace Chat Assistants has open source system prompts!! OpenHermes training dataset is available. 1M prompts! Jio has made IPL free. They make money on data and ads. That’s Scale! Daniel Dennett outsources thinking to students. Reviewing his books. BUT: I don’t take feedback. When someone sends a pull requests, I ignore it.

This week, I learned: Quantum computing is slow, has low transfer bandwidths, and only prime factorization has an exponentially faster algorithm. via The hidden brain podcast. What would Socrates do? Also Philosophy Bites Podcast: why do philosophers use example. And: the happiness lab: happiness lessons of the ancients How many of our beliefs are truly our own? How many are a product of our environment? Contrast these and identify your true beliefs For every thought and action you have, even tiny ones, ask “Why am I doing that?” Dig deeper because it may not be intrinsic One way to become memorable is to.write stuff others will reproduce for a long time. Plato and Aristotle did that everyone has multiple personality. This is partly because different parts of the brain evolved independently for different functions. System one and system two thinking are just such one broad classification. e.g. We think our train is moving when the nearby train moves because our visual brain is faster than our somatic brain. Good lessons and pitches cater to the rational AND the subconscious. Reason AND story. To activate different parts of the brain. That’s why philosophers use examples Philosophy brings change through reason. Revelations: through sudden insight. Rhetoric: through insight. Act as if you already are what you want to become. Aristotle Align your environment (including habits) to your beliefs. It will become easier to act your beliefs then. All virtues are moderation. It’s possible to take every virtue to the wrong extreme Some Christians have wristband that reads WWJD. What would Jesus do? Explore yourself a reminder of what would X do. Maybe Benjamin Franklin, Socrates, Feynman, etc People mistake their environment for their feelings. 1970s Experiment: People on a shaky bridge think they love each other. Experiment: people rationalize things irrespective of reality. “The Unexamined Life” is about questioning theories or stories or maps constantly. It’s also about questioning our thoughts and emotions constantly. Mindfulness is the VERBAL way of doing this. Meditation is the NON-VERBAL way of paying attention. Both are Processes to remove distraction and increase authenticity. Learning about people is a good way to learn about ourselves. And vice versa. Lica has a fascinating demo of how a document can be converted into a video story. Spillnot doesn’t spill drinks even when you swing! Things super-intelligences could do that humans can’t: Solving complex mathematical problems Advanced scientific discovery (quantum computing, nanotechnology, biotechnology) Ultra-precise predictive modeling in complex systems (climate, economics, social dynamics) Optimizing global systems at high precision (logistics, traffic, energy distribution, resource allocation) Universal translation (unknown languages, animal communication, extraterrestrial signals) Deep medical personalization: individualized medical treatments from genetics, environment, and lifestyle Create new materials: Designing materials or chemicals with specific properties Complex system integration: combining AI, bio tech, nano tech in new ways Philosophical insights: new perspectives or solutions to age-old philosophical dilemmas Space exploration and colonization Predicting natural disasters Customized education at scale Ways of working with them Collaborative problem solving Creative collaboration Decision support Personalized education Establishing ethical and safety protocols Recreational and leisure activities Mini-GPTs is an interesting approach to shrink LLMs and make them domain specific. It takes existing LLMs and removes neurons not used in a specific domain (e.g. law, medicine, etc.) Book to read (again) about how to take a team beyond their abilities even if you’re not the expert “Measure What Matters” by John Doerr “High Output Management” by Andy Grove “The Checklist Manifesto” by Atul Gawande “The Lean Startup” by Eric Ries “Creativity, Inc” by Ed Catmull “The Hard Thing About Hard Things” by Ben Horowitz “The Four Disciplines of Execution” by Chris McChesney, Sean Covey, and Jim Huling

Good introduction to quantum computing.

Quantum computing takes steps forward. First, we improve our storage ability with 1000 bits in 1 molecule. Then we perform the Grover algorithm using molecules. Now, all that’s needed is a good set of problems to solve.
