I don't think it's the same as management. As a manager, you're not responsible for the code your team creates. You're responsible for their output, but that's fundamentally different. I also think you're manag

Based on the SynthID-Text paper https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08025-4 I agree that the LLM's learned distribution isn't modified, but I don't think it's correct to say that the sampling

huh, thanks for commenting this! I trusted the linked explanation post https://declaude.org/watermarking/ but actually reading the the synthid paper showed me that my understanding was wrong: https://www.nat

I agree, but thats also learned, and it is done to encourage specific responses for a task, different than applying a mask to the distribution based on a key.

10% is a lot! And why would this slow down the cheating epidemic? There’s tons of ways like declaude etc to get around the check. Also Claude’s style is very distinctive (e.g. “load bearing”) AND has changed since 4.5 quite dramatically. I

I’m surprised by the comments here being so favorable to anthropic. The comments are right about there being no “best” token, and yeah Gruber may have an agenda here. But I think the fundamental principle is that this approach messes with t

What are you talking about? I understand OP has the perspective of writers, but let’s say you’re asking an LLM to explain a concept and it uses green words that are actually more difficult to understand. Or you ask for an analogy to explain

I’ve been trying to start this “I don’t need any distraction for this task” challenge, but honestly it’s been REALLY tough for me. I’ve even noticed apprehension to start a particular chore like folding laundry if I don’t have something to

This release unifies those capabilities with a Mixture-of-Transformers (MoT) architecture built around two towers. Reasoner tower: A vision-language model (VLM) ... This serves as the ‘brain’ that reasons about the world before any

I dunno, I thought that too for a while too, but there are a lot of new ideas in terms of architecture that may warrant massive training runs. Mamba and state space models are pretty interesting, but haven’t had their transformer moment yet

There’s something off-putting about making a blog post about some splashy tech that’s is a fork of an open source project, and that tech not also being open source? It reads to me like “Hey, we thought the open source goose project was just

I guess what’s wrong with it? Let’s say it has read only access, new messages and calendar invites need approval. I’m not sure I understand the harm? I suppose data exfiltration, but like you could start with an allowlist approach. So the f

I’ve never built something like ICEBlock that puts me personally in the crosshairs of not just normal hacking attempts, but also the political will of the federal government. I can’t imagine the cess pool that is Joshua’s DMs. I think OP ma

no that's incorrect - llama.cpp has support for providing a context free grammar while sampling and only samples tokens that would conform to the grammar, rather than sampling tokens that would violate the grammar

My bringing up it's age was mainly about it not being used in a LONG time, so using it now would seem like a hail mary. I made no mention about current day laws, so I'm not sure where your impression came from.

Right. this whole episode is about foreign policy, why not use the act that is meant for it?

I don't think it requires the courts to agree - just that there's a burden or disadvantage and that it's in the "public interest" which seems like a pretty low bar to make up a story that sounds plausible. i think t

From the S1 paper: > Second, we develop budget forcing to control test-time compute by forcefully terminating the model's thinking process or lengthening it by appending "Wait" multiple times to the model's generation

That would be missing the forest for the trees in my view. I could see it having an impact, but when 60% of people say that the country is headed in the wrong direction, putting up a candidate who was in power the last four years just isn’t

on 2) are you referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_plague_of_1518 ? I don't know very much of the history, but the veracity of the claims is specifically called out in the wikipedia page. Given the y
