Domains where fuzzing is useful are generally good candidates for formal verification, which I'm pretty bullish about in concert with LLMs. This is in part because you can just formal verify by exhaustiveness for many problems, but the

The order is a bit broad, but legal holds frequently interact with deletion commitments. In particular, the only purpose of data deleted under GDPR held up by a legal hold should be for that legal hold, so it would be a big no-no if OpenAI

It's not just that they didn't care, but they had a better framing and RLHF helped quite a bit. Galactica got released at a similar time to ChatGPT and got castigated, in a large part due to a poor framing of it being for science

Yeah, high bandwidth requirements still remaining. Over the past year, more research has looked from fully async to restrained cases that allow for geographically distributed compute. Async Local-SGD goes for a more standard training object

The intuition is that smaller models are figuring out things like grammar where the whole model comes into play, but larger models, especially in the back half of training, have localized knowledge updates that can merge easier in the AllRe

This approach likely scales to top models. There was a thought for a while among researchers that scaling up Hogwild / LocalSGD to more parameters would be less convergent, but it seems to be that things actually converge a bit better

Adding in a 100k iteration or so busyloop to the beginning of the food segment should do the trick and only add a few bytes. You could do something fancy with the clock interrupt, which is a bit more portable and stable, but might cost a fe

You can model types as a set and sets as types in many ways, so a number of the basic set theory axioms are pretty simple to express as lemmas from type axioms. IIRC you get constructive set theory easy, but do have to define additional axi

One improvement though is using Starlark, instead of directly Python, since it offers a lot of advantages for a more lightweight runtime and parallelism.

There's an encylopedia you can't buy called Wikipedia. It also has its own structured auxillary database, WikiData. I wrote up roughly what this article is doing about a year and a half ago - https://friend.computer

From my read, it probably flows from 26 = 27 - 1 = 3^3 - 1, given the equation is looking at cubes.

I've been wondering if you could just attach a chunk of vram over NVLink, since that's very roughly what FSDP is doing here anyways.

Yeah, doing some preferred cloud Data Warehouse with an indexing layer seems fine for this sort of thing. That has an advantage over something specialized like this of still being able to easily do stream processing / Spark / etc,

Agreed. As an example of that, Meta's kept its research org, FAIR, still doing fundamental research. Research orgs are great at demos, but actual productionalization takes a different mindset.

I think there's a lot of cases where you don't want to just RAG it. If you're going for tool assisted, it's pretty neat to have agent write out queries for what it needs against the knowledge graph. There was an article

Yeah, I rather like the pattern of embedding a more rapid iteration scripting language on top for game stuff like Lua or stripped down Python variants, using Rust as the core and hot loop code. That said, there is a lot of folks wanting to
