If you could know that this is the case with interpretability tools than we would be able to train new models with purposeful decisions to reduce or remove hallucinations. Narrow the range of the tests and experiments you need to do to solv

I have a hard time understanding why mechanistic interpretability has so few eyes on it. It's like trying to build a complex software system without logging or monitoring. Any other improvements you want to make on the system are going

I've noticed the same recurring debates centred around the existence and severity of AI risks. I'd like to see more discussions that start with the assumption that risks are significant so that we could have a debate on what might

I think these days getting kids involved in non-tech based activity groups could help a child have a more balanced relationship with technology. There are also options like homeschooling, but that is obviously a massive commitment and diffe

I'd say they are a winner right now. Selling some of the best shovels and sieves in the gold rush hype. Edit: if AMD plays their cards right, I'd expect that they can get a lot more in on the action, too.

What if the output is part of an `eval` not just an `echo`? People want to be able to do this, because there is massive potential, but they can't so long as there are reliable ways to steer outputs toward undesired directions. A lot of

If you spend timing considering how to use LLMs as part of another product or system you realize quickly that there are a lot of interesting things that you just can safely do because you can't control the LLMs inputs or outputs. I hav

They are proving that the present techniques being used to control their models can be reliably bypassed. Regardless of what you want your model to be able to do, there may be things that you don't want it to do. For instance, if you a

Sure, these particular examples are concerned with morality, but the problem is more general and limits the value of language models because they can be hacked for other purposes. A good example that's been going around is having an ag

Imo, the strength of containers is portability, not reproducible builds. Even portability isn't perfect, since images are sensitive to CPU architectures and containers can still actually rely on host system configurations (mounting par

I hadn't been following it all that closely, so the repeat sightings of black squares in a transparent sphere was news to me. The more interesting one is seeing the signs that there is growing momentum in the government to gain more cl

The duplication is not about being becoming smarter but increasing the amount of concurrent tasks that can be performed.

Perceivable latency isn't the only consideration. Depending on your business, compute for your proprietary workloads might be one of your biggest expenses. You could see an order of magnitude improvement to resource consumption dependi

I think it is wise to use Nix for a bit before trying to manage all your user configs with it. Using `nix-shell` for project dependencies is a good starting point. You can't really make any costly mistakes here since the scope of any g

I just came across this yesterday. While I'm pretty good at keeping my code <= 80 columns, I also write a lot of markdown where lines often wrap. Remapping `j` and `k` to `gj` and `gk` is a really nice quality of like improvement :D

That is post-agricultural revolution humanity. Sure it is ancient by the standards of an individual, but it is only a relatively recent and small part of the more than 100 thousand years of human pre-history.

I didn't end my Rust learning with that. I did a bit of a deep dive into articles about linked lists in Rust out of curiosity before pivoting to more fruitful projects. My favourite "project" being last year's Advent of

Generally in agreement with the article. This bit was confusing to me, though. > Moving with the arrow keys, erasing text by holding backspace for an eternity feels slow, but it is predictable and reliable. Vim or Emacs-style editing, wh
