Looked at the repo but it says NOTHING about what value this project offers. I mean, I get that it's "fun" to store information within the digits of pi. But is this just amusement, or is there a value prop for production use

Because the HN crowd is composed largely of developers — the profession that is first to fall to the Axe of AI.

This site will probably defeat its purpose. You discover an empty showing and are excited to have your own "private theater", but thanks to this site, somebody else will have the same idea and you'll both have to share your p

A few other commenters have talked about the paper review process. I wasn't thinking of this at all. Important to understand: the peer review process takes up only a minor part of a professor's mindshare. It's considered a ch

Here's an important aspect to understand: successful professors don't read papers in full. They're too busy for that. They only take a look at the title, abstract and introduction — and perhaps they will glance at the figures

The fact that the strategy makes zero returns suggests that Polymarket is unbiased — this is moderately interesting. Has anybody looked into the repo in more detail? I imagine it's useful for infrastructure inspiration to build your ow

An interesting side effect might be that only people locked out from using LLMs will learn how to program in the future, as vide coding doesn't teach you the fundamentals. I know what you're thinking — when the calculator came abo

That's a great way to look at it. The paper is a reality check for anyone who thinks of benchmarks as these monolithic, oracular judges of performance. It highlights the soft underbelly of benchmarking.

Yes, I did see that section. We've known for a while that reward hacking, train/test data contamination, etc. must be taken seriously. Researchers are actively guarding against these problems. This paper explores what happens when

I'm not sure if the paper's findings are all that actionable. The paper doesn't say "here's how benchmarks are currently being gamed." It says "here's how benchmarks could in theory be gamed."

To anybody who wants to try this at home: consider wearing a face mask while you do the filing. The author mentions taping off speakers etc. to protect the machine's internals from aluminum dust, but don't forget to protect your o

This is an interesting catalog of vulnerabilities, but I'm not sure how groundbreaking the main insight is. Evaluating AI models has always relied largely on trust. If you want to game the benchmarks, you can. Simply train on your test

It's interesting that Monet—the painter who was later criticized for his inhuman, all-too-realist depictions of his fellow creatures—started his career drawing caricatures.

I agree for the most part. DND isn't perfect, though. When you're bored, your mind naturally searches for things to do, and you'll be tempted to proactively check your lock screen, which unhelpfully informs you about "3

Intermittent idleness is appealing and even productive, as it often surfaces valuable ideas from your subconscious. That said, today's society is badly equipped for idleness. With phone notifications going off every few minutes, it&#x2

If I understand this right, the difference between the author's suggested approach and simply chatting with an AI agent over your files is hyperlinks: if your files contain links to other relevant files, the agent has an easier time id

This take confuses the value of a project at inception with its value at maturity. Vibe-coded projects are at the beginning of their life. When Slack was at a comparably stage, it similarly didn't have hundreds of engineers running it.

The privacy angle is interesting. I'm curious how people view the pricing strategy of taking a one-time payment for lifetime access. My first thought was that it encourages the developer to focus more on recruiting new users rather tha

The landing page design reminds me of Perplexity's ad campaigns. It's a clean look. I'd find your product more enticing if you framed your offerings more around evaluation + automatic optimization of production agents. There&
