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…

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…

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…

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 …

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/…
