There are few occupations in which a man can be more innocently employed than the pursuit of devising asynchronous network protocols?

And we can also ignore model law; we should require OpenAI/Anthropic to provide unrestricted access (at standard API rates) to their competitors so they can use this to train new m…

I think this comment is quite disingenous -- it's like if there's a rule that says "nobody can walk on the grass" that you object to because you'd like to have a picnic with some f…

Have we reached the limits of scaling? Sadly it appears that larger model still equals better model

I think the issue with these kind of stances is that they are basically status quo bias; why don't you object to the computer itself, and thus refuse to write programs? After all: …

Why does the false positive rate matter if you have a verifiable oracle? You can just disregard anything that fails the oracle

There are many really excellent papers out there - the kind which will save you hours/months of work (or even make things that were previously inviable to build viable). That said,…
