I had the opposite reaction. Clear, detailed, well-organized. Pretty close to the ideal writeup.

It was rejected for being wrong (or most charitably, incomplete).

A pastime I have with papers like this is to look for the part in the paper where they say which models they tested. Very often, you find either A) it's a model from one or more ye…

HN title editorialization completely inaccurate and misleading here.

What do you think about the METR 50% task length results? About benchmark progress generally?

https://metr.org/blog/2025-03-19-measuring-ai-ability-to-com... From my perspective, it's not the worst analogy. In both cases, some people were forecasting an exponential trend in…

The article does not say at any point which model was used. This is the most basic important information when talking about the capabilities of a model, and probably belongs in the…

But only in the the tip (nightly) build. I'm somewhat tempted to switch to them for this.

Thanks, makes sense. I found the benchmark src to see it's not fsyncing, so only some of the files will be durable by the time the benchmark is done. The benchmark docs might benef…

Seems like a really interesting project! I don't understand what's going on with latency vs durability here. The benchmarks [1] report ~1ms latency for sequential writes, but that'…

I think your example reflects well on oss-20b, not poorly. It (may) show that they've been successful in separating reasoning from knowledge. You don't _want_ your small reasoning …

Some of the comments so far seem to be misunderstanding this submission. As I understand it: 1. Custom scaffolding (system prompt and tools) using Qwen3-32B achieved 13.75% on Term…

This actually intersects with two of my current interests. We have, in production, rarely been seeing ThreadPoolExecutor hangs (JDK17) during shutdown. After a lot of debugging, I'…

Nor does a neuron. Argumentum ad populum, I have the impression that most computer scientists, at least, do not find Searle's argument at all convincing. Too many people for whom G…

Is it any good? Perhaps we can ask Opus to review it to find out.

I am arguing (or rather, presenting without argument) that the Chinese room may be conscious, hence calling it a fallacy above. Not that it _is_ conscious, to be clear, but that th…

> LLM just complete your prompt in a way that match their training data. They do not have a plan, they do not have thoughts of their own. It's quite reasonable to think that LLMs m…

The article posts a table of latency distributions, but the latencies are simulated based on the assumption that latencies are lognormal. I would be interested to read the article …

Interestingly, there was exactly one example on the page with three Xes, instead of one, for "extra wrong": > User: What is the MD5 hash of the string "gremlin"? > Assistant: `5d41…

> Putting ~100% weights on 'heads' is a terrible prediction! For a weighted coin, isn't this the optimal strategy in the absence of other information? `p > p^2 + ( 1 − p )^2`.

Not available via the claude.ai web UI. At some point I want to experiment with a CLI-based workflow for programming type queries for myself, but there's also significant utility f…

This has also been my experience so far with a small sample size of side-by-side prompting. Opus has more hallucinations about APIs, fewer correct refusals for things that are not …

As a CS degree holder, I got two TN visas, both as a Computer Systems Analyst. This was ~10 years ago. I'm curious if something has changed to make Computer Systems Analyst positio…
