Exciting personal update — I've been working on building the world's brightest lamp, with the goal of getting daylight levels of light indoors. We just launched on Indiegogo an hour ago; I'm especially proud of the video!

Excited to introduce Enhanced Radar. We're at the start of a long-term mission to make air travel safer. (1/4)
📡@EnhancedRadar is building AI for air traffic control. Their sensors & SoTA models help detect and prevent human error, the first step toward human-in-the-loop safety systems. ycombinator.com/launches/Muw-e… Congrats on the launch, @ericjacobbutton and @kayolord!

I think humanoid robots have a distinct lack of wheels. They should have heelys or turn into cars when needed.

The @JeffDean & @NoamShazeer episode. We talk about 25 years at Google, from PageRank to MapReduce to the Transformer to MoEs to AlphaChip – and soon to ASI. My favorite part was Jeff's vision for AGI as one giant MoE that is grown in bits and pieces over time like a forest,…
Lighting that matches the color temperature and intensity of the sun might be the simplest way to improve modern life. Our retinal ganglion cells respond to ~480nm blue light, evolutionarily calibrated to solar patterns, but indoors we get way less sunlight (~100 vs 100,00+ lux)
