A great example for the pork cycle.

I've often heard it refer to as the bullwhip effect, I think it was this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullwhip_effect


That’s what happens when you don’t need to please the shareholders.


Google has contributed more to open source than Valve while being a public company. It's not just Valve who sponsor open source work.


Valve employs like <400 people


They seem to be skimping out on their contributions to FFmpeg.


Google has contributed many patches to ffmpeg. Valve has contributed 0 as far as I am aware.


They aren't. Sometimes headlines are misleading.


But what percentage of what Google has produced has been Free Software vs what percentage of what Valve has produced? Google may have produced more Free Software, but Google also produces way more things.


I don't think this very practical or relevant here, but I expect Google to have a higher percentage. Valve employees are focused on Valve's proprietary software: Steam, SteamVR, their games, etc. Valve more often pays contractorsto work on open source software than work on it themselves.

My comment was more to prove that it possible to do open source while having share holders. My claim that Google does more is auxiliary to it.


I'd like to see that comparison tracking the number of devs and how much open source software each company uses.


That's very true, and I didn't realize it until you just said it.


If you think publicly-held companies are bad, wait until you see what private equity gets up to.


Okay, but have you heard about the monarchy?


Karpathy says nanochat will become the capstone project of the course LLM101n being developed by Eureka Labs.

I guess it’s still a work in progress? Couldn’t find any other information elsewhere.


A bit more info [here](https://github.com/karpathy/LLM101n)


What do you think would happen to Woz if he never met Jobs?

I’m sure he would’ve been a very successful engineer regardless but I doubt we would even know his name.

I’m not saying this to dispute his achievements etc. But it’s very one sided to attribute all the achievements to either one of them.

Seems like it stopped around 5 years ago.


I believe you are referring to “lamer” (as opposed to hacker)


I can hear it on safari


I read somewhere which I can't find now, that for the -reasoning- models they trained heavily to keep saying "wait" so they can keep reasoning and not return early.


Okay, I feel like there might've been a breakthrough here. After watching Karpathy's video [0], he mentioned how hard it is for LLMs to have humor and be funny but it seems like Claude 3.7 really nailed it this time?

Like, most of these posts are legit funny.

Yeah, I thought that was a weird thing for Andrej to say. Ever since the Attenborough spoof (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOEz5xRLaRA) it's been clear that these things are very capable of making people laugh.

A lot of comedy involves punching down in a way that likely conflicts with the alignment efforts by mainstream model providers. So the comedic potential of LLMs is probably even greater than what we've seen.


If you want to go DIY route; I use MH-Z19 sensor along with an ESP-32 which has ESP-Home installed on it, works very well and I log the data on Home Assistant.
