    Interesting, what did you use for the data? And do you have a write-up anywhere?

    It'll be really interesting when they run RL training on the harness self-improvement loop. I've tried using LLMs for harness engineering, but it often creates too much bloat that …

    Still figuring it out, but it's been really convenient to have an always-on agent that has access to internal systems and can be triggered by webhooks. Some examples of what we use…

    It would require collusion with HuggingFace, including getting them to release their disclosure blogpost a week in advance. Huggingface is primarily a hub for open models, so there…

    The administration promised they'd find a cause by September 2025. I guess that was the best they had at that point? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-cause-of-autism-research...…

    Agreed, there were also a few where I deduced the correct definition by comparing the options.

    One trick I’ve used is creating a folder and then adding a .gitignore inside it with *. Then nothing in that folder gets tracked, without needing to add anything to the public giti…
