Super cool work. I love seeing this direction taken all the way to hardware. I'm a big fan of KANs. The really seem like the start of something big and new. We've got a couple of p…

I played a somewhat unusual role in this whole story. I was the guy who acquired in the original Papers with Code and managed them after they joined Facebook/Meta. It was super sad…

OP here. This is the sequel to the original Good Egg post ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47151678 ). We ran three experiments since v1 that changed the model substantially.…

Weird that this late, dupe thread came alive after this/my earlier submission didn't seem to get noticed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45993118

Totally. I don't get why people sleep on AI2's launches. They're such powerful platforms for AI R&D.

I'm one of the many people who Soumith hired to Meta and PyTorch. I had the privilege of working on PyTorch with him and lots of the folks on this post. As his longtime colleague, …
