Ooh interesting. Got a link? I guess you’d want to find out f that’s a weird motion tic falling out of rl training or the much simpler explanation. I thought figure was publicly clear the robots were operating autonomously.

I guess the VLA proposal is that frontier models will keep extending the planning and action horizon and that the action models will keep improving simultaneously leading to a moment when they suddenly get useful. This seems likely to me, b

If you tour SpaceX’s hawthorn factory they will tell you: “raw materials come in, rockets go out.” Spacex manufacturing had a mix of robots and humans manufacturing together on the floor the last time I was there, like six years ago. But it

This is a recent essay on robotic workers that does not mention Figure’s 24+ hour livestream of a robot doing package management on a live assembly line. The real reason it’s hard to assess where we’re at with industrial robots is that some

thank you!

Thank you. Yes I would like to hear more about that - I’d be interested to read details about limiting some of its native tool use.

The title is the worst part of the essay. Which is super interesting, to wit: fable's a very capable model when it comes to transforming concepts in and out of structural descriptions, and you can use it (along with a test suite I pres

It's been a busy month at OpenAI. I'm looking forward to seeing the increased coordination and engineering skills from Astra - one of the charts shows it roughly 2-3x better in 50% of the tokens from 5.6 sol, which I find to be ve

Felix, just poking at this, and it is MUCH more pleasant to talk to, thanks to your teammates for the work.

Combo of that, laziness and load-bearing language + the penchant for making up weird dense conceptual names pushed me to sol 5.6. They seem to indicate it is a less annoying writer in the announcement so I’m curious to try it out, though. I

I love this. I wanted the disk noise, and I got it. I will say that’s a lot faster than my drives were in the late 1990s though.

Yes. Most of us are, still. The frontier is currently both at expanding ‘common sense’ / non-cheating outcomes for imprecisely specified software (that’s all software), and at expanding autonomy - ability to work longer unsupervised wi

Simon’s karma exceeds yours by about 1,300x — so most of us disagree with you. Like me, I disagree with you. I like the pelican benchmarking, and I like it when Simon stays on top of models for both public good reasons and because it saves

That would be awesome. Probably worth getting a v1 and not upgrading the firmware just to be sure

Their current messaging is "we're busy, no promises" on dev kit or API access -- where did you see this open promise? I'm super curious. UPDATE: That's their kickstarter customer service. Their subreddit has founder

This is cool. May I suggest that you make the standard deformation much less spherical? I do not get nauseous that easily and it made me a little nauseous, feeling like I was falling. I would not want to watch that while driving in a car. B

Long time go player here - this is really cool! I only played a little, but it is clear that this game strongly prefers tight extending connections. In go terms “territory.” I am not clear if ‘influence’ is as useful a concept here; it seem

She was a founder, influential and one of the most liked people in the world. Seems fine to me.

Counterpoint - I like Dan's site. I think it fits his vibe and priorities, and I don't find it unreadable. I can always pick my browser width and font size with a couple keyboard touches, and I never have to fight his idea of how

This article sent me to Joyce's letters to his wife ( https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2018/02/02/james-joyces-... ) which are ... dirty. Amazingly so. Inspiring use of English.

Agreed that you almost certainly can just embed the original with most modern embedding models.

well don't stop there, tell us more

Oh I love this a surprising amount. Also a good reminder of some of the dividends of vibe coding -- this would have been an extremely useful tool for at least two decades of web designers if published in the early 2000s. Even now for a type

This is a tough read. I'm not sure who it's aimed at, since the article mentions only 14% of Americans (surely one of the most climate denying countries) don't believe climate change is real. It's alarmist in a way that

Agreed that confirming “This proposition has been faithfully translated to Lean” matters. As a side note, though, this is an area where LLMs used interactively can be helpful. Also in the case of these recent counterexamples turning up, we

Public warning: please don't trade on Ed's idiotic analyses. Or if you do, look at his track record so far, and apply the Kelley Criterion to your bet sizing.

by vessenes 2mo ago
When you can formalize it in Lean or some such, why would this be? I can understand the desire to separate out other forms of research from the human corpus. But theoretical math that is decidable/provable, I’m not sure I see the risks
