Quoting the famous Science paper More Is Different [1]: Knowing the laws of physics doesn't tell you how a brain, economy, or society works - because at every level of scale, genuinely new phenomena emerge that require their own scienc

I cringe every time I see Claude trying to co-author a commit. The git history is expected to track accountability and ownership, not your Bill of Tools. Should I also co-author my PRs with my linter, intellisense and IDE?

...at least until we get real Test-Time Training (TTT) that encodes the state into model weights. If vast amounts of human knowledge can be compressed into ~400GB for frontier models, it's easy to imagine the same for our entire contex

With such a high throughput because of sparsity, I'm particulary interested in distilling it into other architectures. I'd like to try a recurrent transformer when I have the time
