Just a robotics engineer who loves coffee and learning. When life gets blurry adjust your focus. PS.- I’m unique, just like everyone else. :D

Repeat after me: 1. Current Auto-Regressive LLMs are *very* useful as writing aids (yes, even for medical reports). 2. They are not reliable as factual information sources. 3. Writing assistance is like driving assistance: your hands must remain on the keyboard/wheel at all times

I'm very proud of this interview. I listened to NPR every day when I arrived in the US and it was a key part of my integration process. Thank you @gbrumfiel !

4. Intelligence does not immediately cause an entity yo want to "take over" 5. A very dumb but specialized entity can kill a smarter one, e.g. virus vs human. Julian argues that MS Excel can do intelligent tasks and, in some ways, has already "taken over" our lives 🤣🔥

Julian reminds us: 1. all intelligence is specialized, including human intelligence. 2. being smart in some domains makes you strong in some environments but weak in others. 3. Intelligence does not immediately cause a thing to be able to "take over" 2/

You know what's unethical? Scaring people with made-up risks of a technology that is both useful and beneficial.

It's fascinating that some folks who are probably great science fiction writers are somehow considering their writing about AI risk as scientific research. A thread on imagined existential risks, creativity & a lack of it, history, LLMs, safety, regulation and anti-hype hypers.



Day 44: Still playing around with threads, variadic templates and member functions. #100DaysOfCode.


Day 43: Started to learn and play around with threads, variadic templates and member functions. #100DaysOfCode. :) Happy Holidays.


This has to be one of the most beautiful sunsets I've seen in my life. Photos partially make justice. #nofilter. @ Stockholm, Sweden .

Day 42: I started to learn about Concurrency in C++. Coded some examples that run multiple threads. #100DaysOfCode .


I had to take a pause. I am retaking where I left on day 41. Day 41: Memory Management project completed. Learnt a lot from Move semantics, Rule of Five, Copy-and-swap idiom, RAII and, of course, following Cpp core guidelines. #100DaysOfCode.

One more sleep until you can jump into the biggest Halo campaign ever


Days 38 - 41: More memory management topics in C++. Copy semantics, prvalues and lvalues, and move semantics. I will begin a memory management project in the next days :). #100DaysOfCode.


Days 33-37: Learning about memory management with C++. Testing and experimentation with malloc/free functions, new/delete operators. General recap of heap/stack in C++ and learning a bit about using Valgrind. #100DaysOfCode .


Day 32: Practiced with C++ STL. Solved more HR problems :).#100DaysOfCode.


Day 31: Practiced some data structures, polymorphism and templates in C++.#100DaysOfCode


Days 23-30: This has been a slow week (got flu :( ), however, I've dedicated time to learn about memory management and solving usual HR practice problems :). #100DaysOfCode


Days 16-22: I've been allocating time daily to finish the System Monitor project. After fixing a nasty bug, it is working now :D. #100DaysOfCode . PS.- Also some HR problems were solved.


Days 12-16: finished all OOP topics (revisited) from Udacity course. Almost done with the system monitor project😄. #100DaysOfCode.


Days 9,10 & 11.😁 Reviewed Git, worked on HR problems and started Udacity's OOP project. #100DaysOfCode .

Have some humility. Clean up your bedroom. Take care of your family. Follow your conscience. Straighten up your life.
