    What I and my team have been doing in papers is just to refer to the OpenRouter slugs. It upsets reviewers because they will complain it "is not sufficiently clear to a wider audie…

    This reminded me of coming across LeoCAD ( https://www.leocad.org/ - first release in 1997!) as a kid and playing around with it for endless nights, wondering how close it was to w…

    Reminded me strongly of the paper "Deep Learning is Not So Mysterious or Different" from a year ago: https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.02113

    Things such as AirLLM, or good old llama.cpp.

    The input attribution part is interesting though, but I do wonder to which extent that is just assigning some sort of SHAP values to the input tokens, in which case it should be pr…

    What I typically end up doing is just recalc the slug and see if it matches the provided one. If it doesn't redirect to the most up to date slug matching the id. Though who knows i…

    My personal feel (completely subjective) is that during RLHF humans are incredibly sensitive to this pattern, especially when talking about personal or emotional issues. Any reply …

    Oh I see what you mean now, indeed: Score: 7 ~~~~~~ ~····~ ~·~~·~ .#..#. ...... ..#... .#H#.. ..#... However, I think that you do not need 'time' based variables in the form of rea…

    Good point. I don't think the puzzles do this and if they would, I would run a pre-solve pass over the puzzle first to flood fill such horseless pockets up with water, no?

    Yes. CP SAT crunches through it in no time, but of course larger grids would quickly make it take much longer. See https://gist.github.com/Macuyiko/86299dc120478fdff529cab386f...

    Late, but reading all of the replies, and speaking from my own observation using Claude, Codex, as well as (non-CLI) Gemini, Kimi, Qwen, and Deepseek... It's fun how we are so quic…

    A coin measurer is still my goto explanation. Especially with most models having an inset for the coin to rest on / fit in. The hole itself is then just to quickly/easily get the c…

    I've noticed that puzzles that can be solved with CP-SAT's presolver so that the SAT search does not even need to be invoked basically adhere to this (no backtracking, known rules)…

    All of the above is true, but between solving quicker, and admitting we gave context: I do agree with you that an LLM should not always start from scratch. In a way it is like an a…

    Weirdly it has gotten so far that I have embedded this into my workflow and will often prompt: > "Good work so far, now I want to take it to another step (somewhat related but feel…

    A bit of a rant, but this is the kind of fact checking I wish the media and all our EU "trusted sources" would have jumped on instead of going for the most trivial and idiotic case…

    From an age perspective (but the crowd here will not like that): before I trusted myself I could always find it back so I don't need to save it. Now I can't anymore, but I don't ca…

    I am not so sure, but indeed it is perhaps also a sad realization. You compare this to "a human" but also admit there is a high variation. And, I would say there are a lot humans b…

    I follow RL from the sides (I have dabbled with it myself), and have seen some of the cool videos the article also lists. I think one of the key points (and a bit of a personal nit…

    Very disheartening. HF is doing so much good in the AI community, much more than regulators understand at the moment.
