    A harness [1] was developed by Terrence Tao and some collaborators to prove mathematical results. It has since then been used by others with positive effect. Can someone critique t…

    If you increase the date range to 12 months, you see that (with "likely human"), linux usage jumped from 3-4% to 5%-6% in the last 1.5 months. Something changed. ChromeOS jumped do…

    There are three clear benefits. 1. Answering where humans come from is probably one of the the oldest question we have had. All religions try to answer this in one way or the other…

    It's important to note that even if these open models are distilled, they are showing genuine improvements in their architecture, which enables inference costs to be several factor…

    Funnily enough, you will have to pretty accurately copy the laws of our universe to make an Apple pie. Even small changes will change the properties of atoms, and hence all of chem…
