    Very interesting... I see a lot of parallel with my higher-ed startup - regulatory moat, fragmented market almost like consulting, and super long sales cycle... Maybe I should be m…

    Any parellogram would work since given four digit number n1n2n3n4, it is divisible by 11 iff n1+n3=n2+n4, and each ni is linear combination of the coords of keypads xi, yi, and thu…

    What happens if proposed MCTSr algorithm is applied to GPT-4? It doesn't seem too hard to run that experiment.
