In CS speak very roughly this would mean something like disproving an algorithm by giving it a case that fails it. Right?

Yeah but a highly productive last two decades of math research from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymath_Project has come from collaboration.

And yet I(and many others publicly on x) chucked Claude for codex back in June. Codex is my workhorse. The main reason I use codex is because of its language. I just got really tired of reading long weirdly worded prose that I had to fix wi

Hi thanks for the insight. Do you see a role for Control Systems(i.e. ones analogus to Instrumentation engineering) playing a role to modulate certain parts of continual learning? One very important way we learn are lived experiences, it&#x

The core or the problem is also what you are describing was bought up by Yuval Harari in his interview with the economist. To paraphrase some of his lines: We make decisions using our emotions and our thoughts. What makes us different from

All of this will be besides the point. Here is what's gonna happen. The frontier labs are just gonna keep building powerful models. AGI or not, open models in a year will be as powerful as Fable and Astra — probably by using em — and a

When one writes jupyter notebooks for DS you are not writing python. If you ask 10 DSs explain to me what python's attribute lookup model is and why is it different from other OO languages like say Java or C++, they would not care abou

Does it have something like litestream to backit up for specific production usecases (i.e. a single webserver is enough and downtime of a few mins is tolerable)?

What is being made is "what are our core values?" argument. One does not need to be a mathematician to know how poorly this worked for large communities when incentives are misaligned... If a subset of mathematicians, use AI to co

I found opus 4.8 too agreeable and too wordy(as opposed to codex) and too agreeable. If you are reading documents generating by it was too much. TBH. Fable did a bit better on this. Anyone seen a marked difference with opus 5 on this?

There is just so much that can go wrong with rocket launches if you do cursory reading about these things. A few random examples: The lowest stage cant just be "turned down" or modulated because they work by burning an inner solid

Noob Question: There is a famous parlor trick with generative networks(I think it was GANs but it might be some kind of diffusion based network.), you start with a canvas and draw a stick figure of what you want and the generative network d

Ah so you extract decisions, actions and outcomes and you index and search over them?

I think the main reason for this outrage is partly a confluence of factors some of which you pointed it. But my money/theory is on what I call `alonliness` specifically due to lack of labor mobility: There is no good rapid transport co

Interesting. Making low latency correct tool calls correctly is pretty important in voice AI cascading models(STT LLM TTS). Realtime Models are still 2x the cost and there are only 2 providers openai and google that are in the race. For cos

Still too narrow a take on what self help techniques are killable by ai. I also think self help as a bunch of life hacks and habits is precisely what’s wrong with the industry writ large. They are based on what sells in a capitalist system

Yep and the speaker is not half bad! It has good hardware. Its a shame they could not spin it off to anyone else(not for lack of trying) before they were "forced" to kill it because, basically, meta's stock was at 90$ at the

I've heard there is a way to know if your resume is getting blackholed by a AI resume screening process — sort of like a test to fix it up. Any one knows how that works?

Has anyone gone back to doing code katas, code craft like exercises by hand? They help keep me grounded. Also I feel like it’s fine to let AI write your code. I felt very much like the OP did. A couple of things help keep my sanity. one is

There is no difference between claude -p and typing into their "harness" in tmux. They want to make you pay for API which is subsidizing these plans. They say they want to do it due to their percieved misuse(via automation) of `

So ive been using claude -p from last year with a harness around it called codelayer(i am sure some of you have been using something similar too). Their harness is completely garbage when it comes at displaying full details of tool calls an
