I agree. It’s crazy the backwards reasoning that is being used to blame anthropic for this!

Imagine if someone was lobbying for some reasonable regulation (we should regulate drugs, based around clinical trials) and then instead of a transparent system you get purely exec…

Hot take: There should be an anti leaderboard that highlight people under a threshold. Not trying to learn how to use ai while working at a company like Amazon is almost certainly …

Lung cancer screening should be used more broadly and improved over time in a data driven fashion! We can catch things early, it shouldn’t be limited to only for smokers.

My take: multi turn evals are hard because to do it really correctly you have to simulate a user. This is not yet modeled well enough for multi turn to work as well as it could.

It tests people chatting to ChatGPT! That's a pretty big and important use case.

The flip side of this is that for some tasks (especially in ml/ai), doing it manually at least a few times gives you a sense of what is correct and a better sense of detail. For ex…

I think the methods here are highly questionable, and appear to be based on self report from a small amount of employees in Denmark 1 year ago. The overall rate of participation in…

Looks like I needed another disclaimer: I’m talking about a general trend I see in use of this term, not that it’s always a bad thing to say “I’m not technical so someone else shou…

I think that “I’m not technical” is often an excuse for throwing work at other people and frankly can be a form of learned helplessness. Nowadays, there is less and less reason to …

Is there any evidence R1 is better than O1? It seems like if they in fact distilled then what we have found is that you can create a worse copy of the model for ~5m dollars in comp…

Cosine similarity is equal to the dot product of each vector normalized

“In my humble opinion, these companies would not allocate a second of compute to lightweight models if they thought there was a straightforward way to achieve the next leap in reas…

“Layoffs usually have nothing to do with performance” This has not at all been my experience. When forced to do layoffs in a large company, executives tend to look at performance r…

They still mature and yield, so the principal is not at risk. But yes, it is if you are a bank and people want to withdraw.

The talking point has been that if we do this in cases where there isn’t shelter to offer, the people will come back. Let’s see how that plays out, will be informative. I think it’…

I imagine it would never be optimal to set a price so low that utilization is always 100% externally

I agree with you but it also makes me think: Google's TPUs are also fixed costs and these research experiments could have been run at times when production serving need isn't as hi…

I think numpy closely maps to how I think so it’s not as hard to read these dense lines as it would be to read expanded versions. I think my point of view is shared by a lot of lea…

I guess my question is: Does this work address a specious, disingenuous argument that is being put forth by NIMBYs to block solar installation, so does it address a real pain point…

Perhaps. But also throwing more flops at it has long been Ilya’s approach so it would be surprising. Notice also the reference to scale (“scale in peace”).

How are they gonna pay for their compute costs to get the frontier? Seems hard to attract enough investment while almost explicitly promising no return.

This is interesting. It seems like sidestepping a problem which needs to be attacked head-on: the amount of solar we need to build is more than what can be built in invisible areas…

These cookies were very good, not God level. With a bit of investment and more modern techniques I think you could make quite a good recipe, perhaps doing better than any human. I …
