I had a lot of fun, the scan line effect looks really good and the obstacles are interesting and challenging. I'd have liked to use my game controller, there's a browser API for it. And to have changed my control settings. I thoug

If this hypothesis were true then a spy agency may want to rewrite responses. Every tool in an agent's harness becomes an remote procedure call you can make on that machine. Including a tool to execute a shell command, in many. A harne

Ad-hoc hypothesizing ("escape hatches") are dangerous but not quite invalid. Eg, they failed to find gravitational waves until they did, and you could have viewed building yet another more sensitive detector as a similar exercise

Just at a sniff test level, don't you think that if the quantization resulted in anything like 2M% error in a pretty typical context length, it would be plain as day? You'd do an A/B test and one of them would look like stand

It doesn't really matter to this argument, if they are self correcting at all, then we can't assume all errors will permanently injure the trajectory. It's not like dead reckoning or a similar process where there is never an

I don't think you can extrapolate that measurement across multiple sequential draws like that. We presumably are comparing against a single trajectory rather than a tree of trajectories. So once we make the wrong choice and step off of

There's a setting called `showThinkingSummaries` which you can enable to see them (going forward).

You can see bathtub rings on the underside as it's lifted up. The rings are caused by it's melting faster under the water than in the air, so there's a discontinuity at the waterline.

> If the agent itself concatenates a new URL together - with leaked data after a ? - you should block that from being fetched. You're correct of course, I just want to note that the exfiltrated data could be in any part of the URL,

To a degree that feels intentional.

Well, I do agree that all measurements contain error, but the point wasn't that the error rate would be greater than 0% but that a single headline summary of error can't always distinguish between good and bad tests.

If 1 in 10,000 people have a disease, then a "test" which always reports the patient doesn't have the disease will be correct 99.99% of the time. "99.99% accuracy" should be "looked at with skepticism" in

Claude Code is quite buggy but doesn't generally crash, which is what you would expect if it shipped an immature backend for a month. Maybe the rewrite is full of bugs and they happened to result in the UI glitches or trashed settings

I don't think we have the same understanding of "insider". There are dozens to several hundred insiders at any one time. There aren't enough for them to reliably trade against ones another. To day nothing of how this sys

You won't incorporate information from outsiders if they think they're going to get ripped off by insiders.

I said similar, not identical. The primary role of a futures market is for consumers and producers of commodities to hedge out their risk so that they don't go bankrupt if there's volatility in the market. Speculators (by which I

Lots of Unix stuff uses hooks. cron, init, bash has multiple different hook-shaped files (eg .bashrc). The Unix philosophy isn't a sacred cow, purity over pragmatism was the Multics philosophy.

NPM has at least had the good sense to use namespaces so that it isn't entirely a free for all and is less of a high stakes game of Mavis Beacon. (You could typosquat a namespace too, of course.) Unlike AUR but also pip, cargo, etc.

"Better" depends on the application but more precisely it would be "real time" and may include things that are measured but rarely if ever published. A prediction market doing poorly might be a negative result, "thi

Entirely possible but let's give it some time to see if they try to make it GA and if the DoD sends them a letter.

Insider trading by, say, having direct access to the particular wind vane that grounds the market and being able to manipulate it is a problem. Being better at trading because you have better models or better computers isn't per se a p

As far as I know it is "P2P", a continuous double sided auction like any proper exchange. If there's something fishy going on with the order book I do not personally know about it. (I don't think there is but I'm al

If you're going to gamble, it's probably for the best that your counterparty doesn't also control the platform. I'm not saying that justifies being able to gamble frictionlessly, but it is marginally less exploitative. E

And also because it creates "one neat trick" where it can answer "I don't know" for many/most things and still get credit.

If you could write that reward function you wouldn't need an LLM, you'd just query the reward function to answer any question. You can create a benchmark and check that automatically, but you can't solve this in the general c

What's burned me before is iterating over hash maps. B-tree maps (or hash maps that are guaranteed to iterate in insertion order, or any fixed order) are your friend.

It definitely wasn't causation, the causation flows the other way (criminalizing a proxy for a political belief as an end run around the first amendment).
