They're still going to have to communicate with the bots replacing those departments they lay off, or they're going to have a bad time.

It's not just about benchmaxxing. Sincerely targeting those long-autonomy benchmarks is questionable in the first place, because naturally it drives the model to assume more and more about what you want.

We know how useful classification models are, but massive pretraining is even more useful. So useful that it's tempting to just use a generic autoregressive model for everything, rather than trying to train a specialized classifier. I

Well, players who speak highly of it probably wouldn't play the modern crawl :) Old Crawl had a lot of systems around food. You had races that were mostly or entirely vegetarian, which made them significantly harder to play in that res

There were a couple of people who were very active in development and were very opinionated about good game design. Then they slowed down a bit, and some other people came in with more ideas, they may not have been quite as radical but by t

Yeah, and this suggests to me that the link isn't causal... If you succeed at learning a language late in life, you clearly have an unusually healthy brain and your act together.

This is one of the first games which changed so much that I picked it up again and realized it's not the game I liked anymore. It may still be a fine game, but it has little association to Linley Henzell's Crawl left. These days,

It's always like that - no matter what they do, you refuse to believe that "the boys in uniform" aren't basically still good and decent people. How do you explain the double tap?

The version of "meat proxy" I've heard is the person who forwards a machine-answer to someone else who didn't ask for a machine answer, and could just as easily made one themselves. Calling someone a "meat proxy&quo

But it won't tell you if you don't ask. It won't tell you, "This approach is stupid, Ada SPARK exists".

"Know what to ask for" is what will keep me with a job for a while longer, I guess.

It doesn't anchor the scale to water, but it still scales the scale to water since it's still exactly 100 degrees between its boiling point and freezing point.

I guess the agentic coding benchmarks don't have many rewards for stopping and clarifying what the user wants?

Instead of assuming the "heroic responsibility" of the elect, as these fallen rationalist heroes advocated, we accept that we can't save a world which doesn't want to be saved, we focus on being good ourselves - in the s

That was a good read. A little long as you say, but this thing has been around for over 20 years now, it can't be helped. Predictably the original submission got flagged.

Not all of them downplay all of these, but yeah, most of them do. They may have one or two areas of dissent (for EA as a self-identity-building project, do you see why that is to be expected?), but there is a core of beliefs. Yudkowsky&#x27

Label them what you want. I'll go with EAs if you insist. Sure, they're not entirely monolithic. There's room for "EA, but vegan", "EA, but global warming still matters", maybe even "EA, but vaguely s

I'm tempted to say "You're absolutely right" :) yeah, it's no coincidence that AIs sound a bit like them -- a lot of the people doing the instruction tuning are affiliated with these people. And it's also a pro

Heh, if you think this post buries the lede, have you ever read anything by the community in question? They seem incapable of saying anything without five part Roman-numbered novel length blog posts. I think this article kind of misses a

He didn't, oddly enough. He said he "disagreed with it" but had confidence in the central bank. Basically that he had no problem with it. This suggests to me he thinks he'll benefit from it somehow.

At least for my personal projects, it's enough that they're better than me at long-horizon planning.

We're not going "back" to wind, but there are vessels with modern sails already deployed to save a couple of % fuel costs. There were 9 in 2020 and are 64 now, according to Sintef. Of course kinks are still getting ironed out

Yeah, Azerbaijan is another which is often forgotten. Honestly, it seems Eurovision is mostly interesting for countries that need PR help. I'd be happy to see the whole thing go, it's outlived what little purpose it had.

Israel's public broadcaster is a long time member of the European Broadcasting Union, which has nothing to do with EU, and honestly not all that much to do with Europe either. EBU organizes Eurovision. Why Israel's public broadcas

I would run into the use limits very quickly, and (for Anthropic) have to switch frameworks. By all accounts they are far more expensive than DeepSeek, and vs. Gemini I've found out that myself.
