What a lovely letter: informative, rich in connections, kind.
My love for this kind & gentle man of genius is unbounded.
Ik hoorde deze week vooraanstaand AI onderzoeker Andrej Karpathy het volgende zeggen:
I want to be at the forefront of it, you know, and I’m very antsy that I’m not at the forefront of it. And I see lots of people on Twitter doing all kinds of things and they all sound like really good ideas and I need to be at the forefront or I feel extremely nervous.

L'informaticien Donald Knuth, lauréat du prix Turing, pensait que l'IA avait encore de grandes limites. Pourtant, le modèle Claude d'Anthropic vient de réussir à résoudre un problème mathématique ardu sur lequel le chercheur séchait. Une percée inattendue qui prouve que l'IA devient un sacré partenaire pour les
