The article mentions you can always simply use a smaller, local, un-watermarked LLM to rephrase the original watermarked text. Which is true, sure. But if we're talking about deterministically taking some watermarked LLM output and hav

I've been wondering about adaptive decoding! It seems obvious to me that at some points during decoding (reasoning, "creative thinking") you would want a higher temperature, while at other points (emitting syntactically corre

Not really? If you read it, there is no validation, no correctness signal, no verification, none of that. They're just passing in benchmark inputs, collecting the outputs (regardless of their quality), training on those outputs, and th

Curious if someone could enlighten me- How much of these sorts of patches are specifically checking if a certain application is running, and then changing behavior to match what that application expects? And how much of it is simply better

if I'm not mistaken (and I very well may be!) my primary confusion with closures comes from the fact that: the trait they implement (FnOnce / Fn / FnMut) depends entirely upon what happens inside the closure. It will automati

I truly, genuinely wanted to like Liquid Glass. I think the default reaction to ANY change in UX, even changes that are generally improvements, is: "I don't like this, it's different!" I thought that'd be the case f

Yeah, it's bizarre. Normally the pathway for this kind of thing would be: 1. theorized 2. proven in a research lab 3. not feasible in real-world use (fizzles and dies) if you're lucky the path is like 1. theorized 2. proven in a

The article mentions AlphaGo/Mu/Zero was not based on Q-Learning - I'm no expert but I thought AlphaGo was based on DeepMind's "Deep Q-Learning"? Is that not right?

the magic thing about off-policy techniques such as Q-Learning is that they will converge on an optimal result even if they only ever see sub-optimal training data. For example, you can use a dataset of chess games from agents that move tot
