    In that case the CLI only needs to import the plugin that defined that sub command, not all plugins?

    Author here. The standard way to do this is Reinforcement Learning: we do not teach the model how to do the task, we let it discover the _how_ for itself and only grade it based on…

    Well, growth has been on this exponential already for 5+ years (for the METR eval), and we are at the point where models are very close to matching human expert capabilities in man…

    Author here. The argument is not that it will keep growing exponentially forever (obviously that is physically impossible), rather that: - given a sustained history of growth along…

    Yeah exactly! It’s likely that it will slow down at some point, but the highest likelihood scenario for the near future is that scaling will continue.

    > You don’t have to randomize the first part of your object keys to ensure they get spread around and avoid hotspots. Sorry, this is absolutely still the case if you want to scale …

    It means you can for example no longer do things like get multiple disjoint references into the same buffer for parallel reads/writes of independent chunks. Or well you can, using …

    Requiring ownership transfer gives up on one of the main selling points of Rust, being able to verify reference lifetime and safety at compile time. If we have to give up on refere…

    You can use Claude Code with your own API key if you want to use more tokens than included in the Pro / Max plans.

    AlphaZero did not run game logic on TPUs (neither chess nor other games), implementing it in C++ is more than fast enough and much simpler. TPUs were used for neural network infere…

    This is not a fake imitation, it's steaming results live as they are being generated by the model.

    The 12 bit part refers to the colours being specified using three hex letters.

    Yes, parameters are usually stored as float32, activations as bfloat16 or float16.

    On many natural language tasks there can be significant overlap, making it difficult to judge performance. That's why I like more complex code generation tasks such the dataset we …

    Efficiency is the main concern for a fusion reactor! We've known how to produce fusion reactions for a long time, the difficult part is to generate net energy.

    Yes, this is how you increase prosperity (see: agricultural revolution, industrial revolution, etc). You can now create more with the same number of people.

    I agree, I expect programmers will just move up the levels of abstraction. I enjoyed this recent blog post on the topic: https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2022/asimov-programming-and-t…

    The author keeps referring to the "PSPACE" complexity of chess and Go in the context of AlphaGo; this is incorrect - these games are only PSPACE for arbitrary large board size N, a…

    This sort of approach is known as Genome Wide Association study, finding the correlation of hundreds or thousands of genes that will predict a trait: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…
