This is fantastic. As the little joke I hope it is. Everyone gets their own small disfunctional group, and gets to figure out the challenges of management. You, the manager, are Michael. You know you have to produce something, and you do, b

Gemini tops their vision evals [0] by a mile, with 4/5 top spots going to variants of it. Qwen is the only other contender, likely due to how good it is for object detection, where it crushes the competition [1]. [0] https:/&#x2F

Me too. This is an interesting comparison but in my experience Qwen and Gemini have typically been the top contenders for image related tasks. For that reason it would be great to have the comparison here, as I'm not surprised by Gemin

This feels extremely close in nature to being a generalisation of discrete distribution networks. Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.00036 Project page: https://discrete-distribution-networks.github.io/

I've been avidly using Fable since it was re-released and while it has been excellent at building the apps I want, the reasoning has been completely opaque. Kim, however, has exposed the whole reasoning trace, or enough of it to matter

Ok, this is really cool. The fact that the robot can use pointing to decide where to go is a great design decision, and robotics really is the next frontier. Definitely cheering on Mistral here!

I think it depends on your workflow. I've had a great experience with the trial. I work in research, and have set up something similar to Kaparthy's auto research. I, with Fable, have managed to get an image generation model down

I read the Economist for over a decade growing up. It was a great way to learn about the world, who was in power where, and the challenges facing economies at the time. I found their exposition to be pretty good given the fact they were res

Agreed. Which is also odd, if you think about it. Surely with the amount of compute Anthropic and others have available, they could test each of the solutions in the SO data they surely have and rank them based on efficiency/elegance&#

It may feel that way due to the iterative nature of medical improvements, but over the past few decades there has been a consistent reduction in cancer mortality rates across most types of cancer [0]. Treatments really are getting better an

This seems like such an easy way to create perverse incentives and profit off people who are already down on their luck. Imagine being told that the only way to get considered is to pay a fee. Then later on you get told to pay the gold fee

Agreed. One at a time testing (OAT) has been outdated for almost a century at this point. Factorial and fractional factorial experiments have been around for that long and give detailed insights into the effect of not just single changes bu

I guess that's the crux of it. From an individual perspective it makes sense to stay in a stable environment, especially if a family is involved. However, I think from a societal perspective it is desirable to have people who gamble on

I would add an aspect that is not covered here but is often ignored: the strong labour protection laws result in a mentality where if you get a good job you are much less likely to want to take risks e.g. start your own business. There was

This is an interesting point. I've been trying to think about something similar recently but don't have much of an idea how to proceed. I'm gathering periodic time series data and am wondering how to factor in the frequency o

I've had the complete opposite experience, and feel the complete opposite way. What is there to learn from failing a leetcode? It feels like luck of the draw - I didn't study that specific problem type and so failed. Also, there i

Yes, especially as models are known to have a preference towards outputs of models in the same family. I suspect this leaderboard would change dramatically with different models as the judge.

Thanks for sharing that. Interesting that the leaderboard is dominated by Anthropic, Google and DeepSeek. Openai doesn't even register.

How did you achieve that? I was looking into it and $0.006/min is quoted everywhere.

I feel as though it also represents the fact that contributors are less invested in the project. There was a small study done a few years back hypothesizing that the number of swear words related somewhat to code quality [0] due to emotiona

Even better, python has named tuples [0]. So if you have a tuple that you are sure will always have the same inputs you can declare it: ``` Point = namedtuple('Point', 'x y') pt1 = Point(1.0, 5.0) ``` And then call the X

Not necessarily. Interpretability of a system used to make decisions is more important in some contexts than others. For example, a black box AI used to make judiciary decisions would completely remove transparency from a system that requir

Something that stuck out to me in the updated blog [0] is that Demon Adam performed much better than even AdamW, with very interesting learning curves. I'm wondering now why it didn't become the standard. Anyone here have insights

I think it is you who have misunderstood the Nyquist-Shannon theorem. Aliasing and noise are real concerns. Tim Wescott explains it very well [0] (Figures 3, 10 and 11). If your signal is below one half the sample rate but the noise isn&#x2
