Better block than falsify information. Last I heard they were deliberately botching it whenever someone asked semi-advanced questions on model training.

Agreed. Take human out and any system capable of doing an if-else is intelligent to a certain degree.

I feel like the real reason for this has just been that everything moved to GitHub issues as people could directly talk to the devs/maintainers.

There are a bunch of things that could be tried honestly. Like geometric mean, top-N, or even fitting another classifier on the training set.

tragedy of the commons.

I really enjoyed the Dark Forest. I agree with you that the first part is SUCH A CHORE. But after the pace picks up, the payoff is amaxing!

When are we getting another pro model from Gemini? Or are they simply focusing on the niche of fast but moderately capable models?

Thanks! I'd really appreciate your feedback!

I created a make-your-own-circuit simulator in python to help learn electronics. The best part about this is that it is entirely hosted online and people can just go through the lessons, learn electronics by skipping the maths, and in the process have made their own circuit simulator (which is arguably a pretty cool project on its own) at the end of it.

I think they are largely uncorrelated, in fact I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that they are anti-correlated. James Maxwell, who everyone regards as absolute genius, was a famously bad teacher. My own grad experience also adds that an absolute beast of a researcher is not necessarily the best teacher. I believe the term "curse of knowledge" is popular enough that it suggests people who are way too deep into their abstractions seldom rise above it when it comes to communication. Hence the stereotype of nerds being socially awkward and hard to communicate with.

Hi HN, in the era of agents where people produce upwards of 15 pages under 5 minutes, I present you "I wrote this slowly," a medium that forces you to take your time. Any communication shared via this medium is guaranteed to have taken a defined amount of time to generate. Next time you send your colleagues an appreciation, write apology letters to friends, or communicate something with a human touch, use this app and let them know that you took your time to write it.

For the life of me, I could never get electronics. I used to love the idea of me coming up with electronic circuit designs, but the arcane art of electronics never really clicked for me because I just couldn't intuitively grasp the maths no matter which book I read (AoE, I'm looking at you). But then it hit me, I don't need maths, I just need a formal language to represent the circuits. So over the past few weeks, I worked on a code your own spice (the electronic simulator). So now, for the first time in history, I finally understand how circuits work and how they are designed. And I did this all by coding circuits in python and making my own functional spice (which used to seem impossible at one point, it's surprising how easy it is though).

Literally converged to this same pattern over this month.

My old thermodynamics professor used to say: the answer's always entropy.

I'm not saying you are on a list now, I'm just saying if you were now to be on a list, I wouldn't be surprised.

I gave it a book on human consciousness I was writing and it flagged it. This model is hilariously bad. Anthropic has defanged this model to the point of malice. No way am I paying to use something that is basically useless.

i'm sorry, I meant attention of the project (as in surfacing it). It'd be worth specifying your methodology somewhere in the page. That is arguably an important piece of important.

Does the post explain how the data was obtained? Or is it simply some kind of scraped list to get attention?

I'm not sure if there are any research showcasing the effects humanity has had in general due to low sun exposure. From all the benefits of Vitamin D and the recent human behavorial shift leading to low sun exposure (car travel, air conditioning, sunscreens even), there are bound to be new biological or psychological changes humanity is experiencing for the first time.

aka "the bitter lesson"

Precisely. People don't realize that it's all numbers. Given average IQ of people involved in a project is 140, an AI with an IQ of 150 can replicate each and every such individuals in the pipeline. People saying AI can't do this or AI can't do that should come to terms with the fact that this IQ gap is monotonously increasing.

Meh, it's the age old distinction between Formal vs Informal language.

Simply put: Formal language = No ambiguities.

Once you remove all ambiguous information from an informal spec, that, whatever remains, automatically becomes a formal description.

Clever. My first impression was that surely this saturates the filter too fast as we're setting more bits at once but looks like the maths checks out. It's one of those non-intuitive things that I am glad I learned today.

Potentially because this is about the extra 10% tarrifs?
