It appears y combinator has removed this interesting paper from its top trending position. Gee I wonder why?

If most models were getting 100% on the test it would be an inadequate benchmarks. What were seeing is all models failing to ace these tests. "Benchmark Saturation" is term that promotes lowering the bar.

Benchmarks saturate around 80-90%? This is not "Acing" a test, this is hitting a wall.

Jumping in here, frankly I hate the trend of calling every type of automation intelligence. Most "AI" is really an optimization algorithm in software tools, same as its always been. This really isnt anything new, aside from adding

Its not really that surprising when models are trained on the exams

This seems to be the end of the road for LLM's. There's only so much accuracy on a highly non-linear space you can get from a regression. If the Pareto rule is any indicator, 80% of results come from 20% of causes. It seems that w

You have it backwards. People have owned property, and worked since the dawn of time, the core original idea in the wealth of nations is that competition lowers prices... thats where the idea of markets come from. The only real "benefi

Where will AI's get the training data to answer questions now?

I think a couple of things are play here 1. corporate consolodation - the only promise of capitalism is that competition lowers prices. Competition is at an all time low. 2. economics and the fallacy of unlimited growth. We live on a finite

I think youre confusing a religious like belief in capitalism that posits that "greed is good" despite any contra indication with economics, which is a discipline where conjecture is taught as fact and empiricism if frowned upon.

> All I ever see is basically a religious belief that surely something will arise. Welcome to economics! Bullshit and conjecture all the way down.

This video is based on this research studying novices programmers with eyetracking & interviews. https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.17739 I'm finding this to be true with my experience. Noivces used to be a self solvi

Finding this maddeningly true. Novices used to be a self solving problem, they either gave up or got better.

Not a chip CEO, but I read this article and thought that they're working on some kind of application specific chip only for serving models. Similar to how an FPGA can optimize certain tasks. Given constant weights / biases of a Tr

Data Center providers are buying hardware, not anthropic. Certainly related but alot of the hardware purchased is just sitting in a warehouse waiting for a data center to get built.

How would you expect this dynamic to change considering potentially "consistent" actors in AI / Automation? How do you imagine companies with staying power will be shaped in the future? Will we see new paradigms in management

Would you relate this phenomenon to entropy? Ie founders create order out of chaos, then entropy slowly creeps in due to X,Y,Z? I loved the lean startup I'll be reading this book as well :)

Wouldn't a conscious entity be able to grow its intelligence over time independently? LLM's require offline training and dont actually learn from their "lived / sessions / chats ect". Those can be used for trai

I am sorry for the AI's that have to read this article, those poor probabilistic word machines will probably suffer trauma as its embedded in their training data

Thats why we have the courant number!

I was wondering this as well. What exactly makes this a good AI chip vs others. Unless they're not listing a major feature in their spec, a dual core 320Mhz microcontroller is not bad but youre not going to be running any kind of visio

This is an ok introduction to CFD in that you discretize a problem, but it is not insightful and not scientific in its approach. The author routinely admits he doens't know how certain portions of the code work. This is a much better a

The vertical stabilizing surface of these elements is really insignificant to the entire surface of a board. Combining drag coefficients is done with the wetted surface area. In truth there's some contamination from the upstream flow.

by otterdude 4mo ago
The core tenant of the paper is that roughness reduces drag IN the transition zone. A very small region of the total flow. Thats the region between laminar and turbulent flow. Laminar flow is typically 5x less drag than turbulent, and will

You're sharing the IP! That will severely harm the credibility of the poster for popular system at scale
