Inspired by parameter golf and speedrun approaches I make the case for picking loss functions like a wallclock for LoRA on AI safety targets. The result when I tried it was a funct…

paper looks nice! i think what they found was that they can recover the input sequence by trying all tokens from the vocab and finding a unique state. they do a forward pass to che…

anyone who spends 10 years writing performance reviews and rebuilding a service they already rebuilt last year, all to collect RSUs, was never going to land us on mars

Well don't do it and instead of using an off the shelf library that is known to work while the rest of the development team isn't reinventing the wheel. Doing it for fun and educat…

I am an AI interpretability researcher and have a new proposal for a way to measure the per token contribution of each head and neuron in LLMs. I found that the normalisation that …

Maybe eating honey has never happened in the history of human nature, and it's fool-hardy.

the average human certainly can not run that fast. treadmills in gyms usually cap at 20km/h and how many people on the street do you think could handle it? (very few of course)

this vibe check is more insightful to me than the popular evals. nice job!

this should be the real headline. I am certain and beyond any doubt that I speak for all of us hackernews readers when I say that I have no frame of reference on the value of crypt…

I said a good teenager might run 10.7 and you have found a list of teenagers (I don't know how old they are) that can do just that. Very few people sprint after they leave college …

It is a good time and I gave the example of a teenager since they will likely be less physically developed, weaker and less experienced than a pro. In a place where sprinting is po…

Those people who were suffering from curable blindness that had been forgotten by society sure are marketed, businessed and entertained by their restored sight. He's doing good thi…

The worry is not that chatgpt will take over the world. It is that a future system will be unaligned with human interests and once it is created by gradient descent (the internals …

There is a book called "The perfect machine" about building this observatory.I found it very interesting since you might think it's not as hard as it is to make a piece of glass a …

The parts of chemistry that work are just rebrandings of physics and the parts of physics that work are just rebrandings of math. Nanotech is a subset of physics with connections t…

Why not take the 100 billion from somewhere other than frontier physics research. I always consider these articles small minded since the people writing them don't consider project…

He's referring to Carlsen's prodigious fantasy football skill.

We should add treads and a cannon while we're at it. Is outer space counted when we say "all terrain"?
