I have not read this linked article, but your comment made me recall a discussion about a speed up of CUDA kernels presented by Sakana AI Labs. The researcher Ravid Shwartz Ziv at NYU posted about it on LinkedIn [1], and here is the Twitter post of interest [2] """ Yesterday's news about Sakana AI Labs provided an important lesson for all of us working with AI agents.

lmao this is exactly the kind of stuff I always see from Claude. It’s like adding a Skip() to a test and declaring it works now. “Well it’s a lot faster, I met the criteria of my TODOs cya” I’ve seen it so much I kinda doubt it was “inadvertent” because they’re like seemingly intentional about their laziness, and will gaslight you about it too.

This is great. But how incremental are these advancements? I picked one at random (B.2 -- the second autocorrelation inequality). Then, I looked up the paper that produced the previous state of the art ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/0907.1379 ). It turns out that the authors had themselves found the upper bound by performing a numerical search using "Mathematica 6" (p.4). Not only did the authors consider this as a secondar…

It is not that you get downvoted because they don’t understand you, it is because you sell your opinion as fact, like an apostle. For example what does it mean that software engineering is solved?

Check his profile. > about: I believe in the creation of a machine god Sounds about right.

Too bad the code isn't published. I would expect everything from DeepMind to be opensource, except model itself.
