Author here. The standard way to do this is Reinforcement Learning: we do not teach the model how to do the task, we let it discover the _how_ for itself and only grade it based on how well it did, then reinforce the attempts where it did w

Well, growth has been on this exponential already for 5+ years (for the METR eval), and we are at the point where models are very close to matching human expert capabilities in many domains - only one or two more years of growth would put u

Yeah exactly! It’s likely that it will slow down at some point, but the highest likelihood scenario for the near future is that scaling will continue.

It means you can for example no longer do things like get multiple disjoint references into the same buffer for parallel reads/writes of independent chunks. Or well you can, using unsafe, Arc and Mutex - but at that point the safety gu

Requiring ownership transfer gives up on one of the main selling points of Rust, being able to verify reference lifetime and safety at compile time. If we have to give up on references then a lot of Rusts complexity no longer buys us anythi

AlphaZero did not run game logic on TPUs (neither chess nor other games), implementing it in C++ is more than fast enough and much simpler. TPUs were used for neural network inference and training, but game logic as well as MCTS was on the

This is not a fake imitation, it's steaming results live as they are being generated by the model.

On many natural language tasks there can be significant overlap, making it difficult to judge performance. That's why I like more complex code generation tasks such the dataset we used for AlphaCode.

Efficiency is the main concern for a fusion reactor! We've known how to produce fusion reactions for a long time, the difficult part is to generate net energy.

What value does adding the real name of the person to the article bring to you, the reader? Would you interpret it any differently if the name was different? Seems like a pretty clear cut case for not mentioning the name.
