    Germany trading nuclear for coal in 2022, and the role of the Greens supporting it, was widely reported by credible outlets; see for example [1]: > With little natural gas supplies…

    Why do your opinions about what a "well-behaved" agent is override the wishes of a site's owner?

    What you're suggesting seems to go implausibly far beyond what the paper says. RL post-training alters the parameters of the transformer, while your f(manifold) idea seems to sugge…

    A while ago a lot of the discussion about overparameterization was about explaining "double descent", the observation that test error doesn't descend monotonically and actually hit…
