I've been considering different ways to measure code understanding and fluency. I'm still using traditional 'easy' problems on a coding pad to probe this, but I'm finding a new gen…

I'd love tips for maintaining a good meetup. I tend to like the smaller meetups that are focused. But they often degrade in quality as they scale. A failure mode I hit several time…

Any interest in a Lisbon meetup?

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this. But to put your real name in the field instead of at least a pseudonymous id or more descriptive info but still have more bits of uncertainty user-a…

Why is it not a terrible idea?

I enjoyed this. I'm surprised there's no LoRa layer or auto RL or adversarial step to reduce the stock phrases as they pop up. Is it really so hard to push these out? Or is it just…

Are you knowledgeable about this, and are you talking about the established institutions? If so please explain.

I totally missed that, because in the charts they showcase for coding, the SWEBench score is not present, they only include it at the end of the post in tables. Hmm. Great catch.

The frontier graph on all these benchmark are extremely in favor of 5.6 Sol over Fable, more than the best model comparisons in previous iterations. I'd like to know how cherry-pic…

I just meant a big innovation that reshapes everything. I should have used 'level' instead of 'type' here. But there are a lot of analogies to computation in bio as a physical, ato…

Cool to see this from Brian Hie, who was doing interesting computational bio research at Meta's FAIR before they axed it. Interesting that this is work on the more physical/testing…

I have agents chat via an append only file, across related projects and within the same project. They share findings that are useful and get high level reviews. I'm missing the adv…

Ah yeah, thinking further it's probably just using some positioning embedding based on sequence numbering added in the LLM layers. For vision it needs the patch location as well.

The audio side is even more interesting, as it seems they totally got rid of positional embedding are just doing a single linear transform to match the LLM input dimension and that…

Have you tried a Quest 3 for similar purposes? Curious how they compare.

This is interesting, because in the leaked code, it was found that they detected simple swearing keywords for analytics that get sent to Anthropic, but also had directions to keep …

Original video (twitter one has audio replaced): https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=final+fantasy+6... There was considerable backlash and discussion on twitter/reddit, a…

It's special for sure. For those on the fence, it has some writing and direction flaws, especially with minor characters, like the disgruntled neighbor and IP theft bit in the firs…

Thanks, I missed that.

Bowed instruments are very cool to model because of the nonlinear slip of the bow against the string. A bit curious why bowing was not discussed or used in the example of a violin,…

This a more aggressive form, the app redirect existed for a while, but there was the option to dismiss and continue using the browser. On the other hand, I'm hopeful that this will…

Thank you for wording it better than I could. On the computational side, the integral as a function that measures how the another function accumulates intuitively lets you measure …

I've studied the proofs before but there's still something mystical and unintuitive for me about the area under an entire curve being related to the derivative at only two points, …
