Yeah, I don't disagree with a registry. Especially for problems that are important to humans or are expensive for AI to prove/disprove. I partly just want to avoid a situation wher…

I feel like at a certain point, there's is not necessarily a reason to go through the peer review publication process for some AI proofs. Not because "ai bad," but because at some …

Panic just makes it sound more real, I think. They were saying stuff like "Eek, our technology is TOO dangerous and advanced and we need to be regulated :-O" when they definitely d…

this is part of why I think most researchers get less productive over time... Someone gets some big result during grad school or early career, get some big job from it, and then st…

yeah this is what drives me crazy about LLM writing. Most of the time the prompt has all the info you need and is like maybe a few sentences. Then the LLM expands it into a few par…

I've been using claude while trying to setup a new personal site. It's very nice to be able to say "I want a nice looking menu with links to other pages" and it spits out something…

is the kobo store not good/convenient compared to kindle? I thought the kobo store was pretty good, but it is my first and only e-reader.

yeah I was being very hyperbolic (and am on the younger side, so tbh wasn't very aware of a lot the x projects... I think those are even riskier than I meant.) google was probably …

can very much agree about not writing stuff like reductions yourself, unless you have good reason to. but this sort of feels like another "implement everything with and you'll have…

I really wish there were better options to PMPP... It's by far the most up-to-date book, but I totally agree the writing is sort of bad and some of the code examples are straight u…

I think Jensen Huang said this recently, and I've had a similar opinion for a while, but a lot of companies seem uncreative with how they use their employees. like google probably …

it's so great to see people boosting "security" in a way that also just happens to require locking in to big-tech approved apps that send all your data to big-tech so that they can…

literally watched it last night and was struck by how much "personality" it has.

Input (Eminem lyrics): there's vomit on my sweater already, mom's spaghetti. Output: Facing some early-stage operational challenges today. Already dealing with some unexpected "out…

I feel like that's true when the font is insanely small, which I guess was good when people would print entire proceedings. Reading two column super small font on a computer is sup…

A personal guideline for a lot of stuff is that a function may be too long when people add comments to mark what sections of it do. (ofc not really a hard rule). I just think it's …

I kind of dislike the benchmarkification of AI for science stuff tbh. I've encountered a LOT of issues with benchmark datasets that just aren't good... In a lot of cases they are f…

This may not be the actual reason in this case, but I think it's good to be aware of: A non-zero chunk of "ai for science" research done at tech companies is basically done for mar…

Actually I just happened to see this: https://www.stochasticlifestyle.com/how-chaotic-is-chaos-how... . It's basically explaining the same thing, but much better than me :-)

I'm not an expert on this, so take this with a grain of salt. Chaotic PDEs are extremely sensitive to initial conditions. This essentially makes it so that any numerical solution w…

it feels like Nvidia has 30 "tile-based DSLs with python-like syntax for ML kernels" that are in the works lol. I think they are very worried about open source and portable alterna…

I think very few of these "replace numerical solver with ML model" papers do anything to verify invariants are satisfied (they often are not well preserved). They basically all jus…

100% of the time I get a call, it's spam, a doctor, or my mom.

I've decided 100% of papers saying their modification of a neural network is interpretable are exaggerating.

I have heard that their internal review processes for papers have started telling people to not say stuff like "XYZ may be useful for climate research" or "this is an alternative e…
