2022 had the highest highs and lowest lows. Really enjoyed going through all of my photos for the year and writing up how I spent it. Excited for 2023 ☺️ soffes.com/blog/2022

I don't understand why people are still excited about this stuff
LLMs generate the answer one token at a time and the second token isn't known as long as the first token wasn't generated. Knowing this is crucial for understanding why LLMs generate nonsensical answers trying to explain unexplainable. The below screenshot illustrates the problem perfectly. The user asks whether a number prime or not. The LLM generates the first word, which is "No" in this case. That's it. There's no way back. It will continue generating a logical explanation of a wrong answer, which is impossible. The chance of generating a wrong first token is never zero, so the situations like this are inevitable. And there's nothing to laugh at if you understands how LLMs work.

Tonight @atcb and I did a blind test between Apple Music and Spotify. We both blind picked Spotify on studio monitors and laptop speakers. Surprised! I always thought Apple Music sounded better. That said, the difference is super minor.

Excited to see his fans rationalize why the huge loss is actually good
X is officially valued at $19 billion, employees were notified today. The company is granting them shares in the company at that valuation, which is a 55 percent drop from Musk’s $44 billion purchase price theverge.com/2023/10/30/2393…

The property tax rate in that county is 1.110%. So the annual property tax on $1B is $11.1M 😂
Donald Trump & his family have argued all week in his fraud trial that Mar-a-Lago is actually worth a billion dollars, even though its taxable value is listed as $18 million. So I wrote to the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser that it’s time for Trump to pay more in taxes.

Tell me you’ve never been to a Taco Bell Cantina without telling me you’ve never been to a Taco Bell Cantina.
Americans *genuinely* believe they have better food than France. They really believe it. It’s truly extraordinary.
