Yes, and I have the same problem with Cloudlare’s “we are checking the security of your connection” page that is now popping up for me everywhere. Thanks for making sure I’m secure…

The pacers have to obey the same rules as every other runner. They start at the starting line, they can't run inside the lines, etc. One of the reasons that Eliud Kipchoge's "Break…

What is the political goal behind this directive? I assume there is some completely non-subtle purpose, but I can't tell what it is.

Qwen3.5-122B is actually Qwen3.5-122B-A10B. The A10B means that this is a "mixture of experts" model where only 10B parameters are activated at a given time. Whereas Qwen3.6-27B is…

Plus, this is more fuel for Anthropic's God complex.

Is it much different in other countries?

What is the policy and guidance you gave the students regarding LLM use?

There are basically two kinds of applications. One is where you want to correctly solve the problem at least 99 out of 100 times. LLMs generally don't (and not everybody realizes t…

There are about 2^64 more 64-bit integers than 32-bit integers.

What's wrong with a 20% tax? We who make a living from labor instead of capital pay more than that. Paul tries to frame it as an increase of 20% in the tax rate, but in reality the…

Your current understanding also seems a bit warped. The US government provides the source of a lot of research funding but historically exerts little "control". Generally grant app…

It's much easier than it seems. * There are axioms, there are models, and there are theorems. * A model is a particular structure with objects and relationships. The "standard mode…

I'm not following your reasoning about the common denominator, not sure we're on the same wavelength about what I meant. I'm claiming that in order for an application to be "reclai…

The common denominator: the data needs to be owned by you, or at least made accessible. Companies love to create walled gardens where they own the content and control how you acces…

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I think all of your filtering and categorizing makes these analyses really nice.

Nice article. One small comment, it's very hard to conclude anything about accuracy over time because the comparisons may not be apples to apples. For example if there used to be l…

Sewing machine. https://xkcd.com/2754/

Cool stuff. I think there have been projects recently that use LLMs to encode messages in plain text by manipulating the choices of output tokens. Someone with the same version of …

If Claude code is written by Claude code, and AI outputs are not currently considered copyrightable, then how is Anthropic asserting copyright over the leak?

No, it's not enough. Maybe if the bias is 10% or more.

Not saying this gets through to people, but copyright is purely about the legal ability to restrict what other people do. Whereas property rights are about not allowing others to r…

Interesting. I don't quite agree. It's one thing to predict what general topics will be hot and popular this year. But that's not the same as what particular research problem will …

I agree that (while the ethics of this are a different issue) the copyright question is not obviously clear-cut. Though IANAL. As the LGPL says: > A "work based on the Library" mea…

Yes, and it opens by talking about STEM fields. I consider CS part of both STEM and science generally.

This is not how computer science publishing works, however. Post it on arxiv, submit to a conference, get 3 peer reviews, accepted, “published”. 99% of papers are effectively open …
