Loom is such an amazing project. I was always surprised by the fact that similar tooling for C/C++ is much more cumbersome to use, since that's where the memory model came from.

Quantitative data for subjective output can come from opinion: contests, polls, reviews, A/B tests. A problem though is that LLM adoption has grown to the point that their output can alter people's preferences, like we've alr

There's lots of ways around the guardrails. For rockets, you could try framing it as an engineering project for university. You can build out components in isolation with a frontier model, each one benign, and then have an ablated mode

If it was malware, it's interesting that the first indicator that his system was compromised appeared on his Anthropic account. Are accounts with AI providers the hottest thing that's selling on darknet forums right now?

They're nostalgic, but switching from a smartphone to a flip phone would be a massive drop in convenience with how integrated smartphone apps have become into everything.

Curious, what other options are prospective pure math grad students considering?

Arbitrary network access can be mitigated with a firewall (ideally several). Arbitrary code isn't really an issue in this context.

Aside from random errors made by the model, another reason to sandbox is that prompt injection could make your agent behave in an actively harmful manner.

How would you even begin to calculate a bound on something like this?

Swap files are also much easier to set up than partitions if you're using full disk encryption.

The term's been diluted by marketing/hype slop to the point that it doesn't mean anything more.

Yeah, seems like there would be a lot of ways of doing it. The correlation would have to take into account how much time the player has on the clock as well.

Maybe it's implicit but I'm surprised they didn't mention move timing as one of the signals.

Don't let OpenAI find out about this.

Having also studied statistics in university (undergrad), something I kept running into is that you can't really unlock the intuition for many concepts without taking more advanced courses. For example, degrees of freedom shows up as e

I think "any apps" and probably "most apps" is too strong. It wouldn't be very productive to hand-roll your own filesystem, browser, cryptographic library, etc. At some point you have to delegate to another party. N

Curious how you'd position this next to Open WebUI? First impression is that they seem to cover the same things.
