Funny there the date is April 1985, a lot earlier and almost my birthday!

I think a lot of LLM progress in the last 2 years or so is really from densifying the training data to niches like this and not so much from general problem solving capability. I g…

This is a pretty stunning result. The time series looks really convincing. Is the way the detector itself is trained orthogonal to this or could there be some "leakage" in that the…

For Switzerland, that's only true for the special tourist train panoramic carriages on the route, there are normal trains running on the same routes, too, that don't require reserv…

Or solar geoengineering? Which is scary but becoming more likely it seems.

I think this is a complete misunderstanding of what people mean by taste in software engineering. Taste is more like the System 1 response one builds to code over time, which (idea…

Was just going to ask if anyone remembered the name of this one. It was amazing! 15 year old me felt very important/futuristic syncing the news before school in the morning and rea…

Maybe its more like the hash was a well known secure hash but someone managed to extract the salt/private key/signing certificate from the camera?

I ran Claude Code on my ca 2015 ThinkPad which was having wifi issues and asked it to fix them. It diagnosed the problem and applied some obscure kernel flag which fixed the issue.…

There are plenty of expenses in this order of magnitude that are not tied to direct increases in productivity. I think it may become a serious hiring impediment for companies to be…

Is it really that different with the current iteration of AI compared to what was possible 10 years ago? There may be some new awareness at the executive level of what is possible,…

Pretty sure op is talking about university in Spain for other subjects, not Spanish class at university.

I think it's just a joke/reference to HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey

The most amazing thing to me about Cider-V was that Cider (without the V) actually went away after a relatively short amount of time, when virtually every other internal service th…

A rare breed!

That seems possible for generating completely new proteins. Do you think it's also the case for lead optimization where you typically have some degree of measurements around your s…

Check out manifold markets, sounds like that is what you are looking for?

Would you be open to sharing a version of your pitch deck? The main question in my mind is what kind of exit the VCs have in mind when they give you this money.

It seems like college towns have a lot of players even if they are small, what's the reason for that?

That's definitely true for some of them, but for others it's not so clear, like the Apollo or Manhattan projects? Those of course also have lasting impact but it's more in terms of…

What do you mean you heard? Are you not a member of their team? Your posts in the last hour seem quite astroturf-y.

Numerical issues totally exist but the reason has nothing to do with the fact that Cauchy sequences don't exist on a computer imo.

I understand that much, but it seems like "your naive timestep may need to be smaller than you think or you need to do some extra work" rather than the more fundamental objection f…
