i am not a complexity theorist but I am a CS academic by training (I never was a good one, but welp), and during my PhD it is often said that maybe P vs. NP an initial proof/disproof to the statement is not that practically important

i really think we are opening a can of worms with these “who cares if you find a single counter example as disproof” arguments. i think the better version is “ok any lemmas or techniques we can generalize from this” or “what did we learn ab

sure I get that, but like, my field has plenty of counterexample as proofs. we have had non-constructive proofs like probabilistic arguments. i don't think we can play the game of "oh this proof is useful that proof is not useful&

I can't wait to tell my pure maths professors that their most of their research adds nothing of value. I mean I am sure most of them would agree to some extent, but like, dude, have some more faith in the utility of pure maths, esp. ce

genuine question — how has fireworks or baseten or $reputable_inference_provider worked for your use cases? most production workload probably works fine with one of these and another set as fallback, at least so i think

you are asking a presumably IC or IC-ish worker on decisions that are out of their control or things that should be directed to sales people or the legal people we all have worked on software. we all know we aren't exactly the best peo

they likely use their internal infra to run benchmarks; aligning external releases with internal environments is always painful and somewhat underincentivized

dude, if you try to do harness development yourself you will realize that most things said in this blogpost is shared with any ${sufficiently_advanced_harness}. this is not really claude-specific, this is just how this class of tools, OSS o

tbh the summarized thinking with encrypted raw thinking is there for many purposes; it is there to: 1. make distillation much harder 2. safety: prevent modifications to the thinking leading to injection attacks. 3. also honestly sometimes t

I mean I used to work on model reliability with my little PhD degree and the models i manage go down all the time. Some profs have a team of PhDs and things go to shit all the time. I don’t know why we expect $FRONTIER_LLM to do better

1. openrouter is API usage. There is obviously consumer side 2. people often use openrouter for the sole purpose of using a unified chat completions API 3. OpenAI invented chat completions; if you use openrouter for chat completions often y

Schemas can get pretty complex (and LLMs might not be the best at counting). Also schemas are sometimes the first way to guard against the stochasticity of LLMs. With that said, the model is pretty good at it.

Resouce-affording, if you are chasing the frontier of some more niche task you redo your training regime on the new-gen LLMs

Is it though? There is a reason gpt has codex variants. RL on a specific task raises the performance on that task

Sure never again is totally fair and I am sure a lot of people hate it. I was mostly objecting to the radioactivity of it. Your friends will be more like “I am looking to sell my Tesla in 3 months” if it is truly radioactive. Let’s be reali

> And if for some ungodly reason you had to do it in Python I literally invoke sglang and vllm in Python. You are supposed to (if not using them over-the-network) use the two fastest inference engines there is via Python.

Agreed, I am surprised he is happy to stay this long. He would have been on paper a far better match at a place like pre-Gemini-era Google

I don't know the data distribution, but are you sure that's generated by an Adobe model? I can only see that it is in Stock + it is tagged as AI generated (that is, was that image generated by some other model?) Disclaimer: I used

Emmmm sure, but throw this to a human artist who has not heard of Indiana Jones and see if they draw something alike.

I work in this space. In traditional diffusion-based regimes (paired image and text), one can absolutely check the text to remove all occurrences of Indiana Jones. Likewise, Adobe Stock has content moderation that ensures (up to human moder

My personal mantra (that I myself cannot uphold 100%) is that every dev should at least do the exercise of implementing binary search from scratch in a language with arbitrary-precision integers (e.g., Python) once in a while. It is the bes

each text token is often subword unit, but in VLMs the visual tokens are in semantic space. Semantic space obviously compresses much more than subword slices. disclaimer: not expert, on top of my head

beats me. I spent so much time learning what a fundamental group is and I still cannot tell ppl what a fundamental group is convincingly. I can’t even make stuff with fundamental groups.

Ummm guys when we talk about memory access in theory can we just be rigorous and talk about the computational model? The real RAM model “in theory” tells me that memory access is O(1). Of course real RAM is a spherical cow but like we could
