Sydney Sweeney reveals in an interview that she doesn’t care about the PHP vulnerability because she moved everything to Rust in 2024. “They said the rewrite would take six months. We’re on month 30. We haven’t shipped a feature since, but I’m having a very normal Wednesday.”

Yeah I’d say the RL is working now all right
You can tell the RL is done properly when the models cease to speak English in their chain of thought

We were investigating Wedgewood for faking their data and emailed them for comment this morning, ahead of publishing the findings tomorrow. They are trying to cover up their fraud with the "we were doing a social experiment" excuse. Full story here: blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/fif…

Disciplining myself to journey through fatmarker sketch and ascii first has been a decent antidote to the siren song of microwave burrito syndrome

Just found out about recency bias. Maybe the most important bias ever

ChatGPT came out midway through my PhD, and I graduated just in time to escape (or miss out on!) agent-driven research. Autoresearch can boost discovery. But in its worst form, it'll hold us back. Research isn't results, and I fear we’ve Goodhart-ed ourselves into believing that. Let's talk about how we steer research towards an abundance of discovery, not an abundance of papers. quadrillion.ai/blog/research… w/ @quadrillionlabs

"Imagine an earring that whispers helpful tips in your ear: “Better for you to set the learning rate to 0.00251342.” Good results are no longer in question; with a Whatever Agent Ultra Max subscription, you never come to a meeting short on quantitative results or new experimental ideas... In the original story, the earring’s advice is always right, and the people who wear it live remarkably successful lives. But when they die, the part of their brain responsible for deliberation has withered from disuse.." h/t @chang_trenton quadrillion.ai/blog/research…

how did natural language processing researchers deal with the rise of natural language processing models and their application to almost every other domain? … where do these people think the grads leading almost every frontier lab training team come from
how did NLP researchers deal with their entire field being solved by LLMs? perhaps we should look into that as inspiration for other fields now being replaced by LLMs?

example output from my initial looming with this model. trained using ~4 B200 hours from @nebiusai on 40M tokens of high quality greentexts sourced from a variety of subreddits, cleaned and OCR-ed with gpt 6 luna. imo this model achieves my initial research goal and shows an emergent ability to produce humor, and i expect to see results improve with scale as well as more diverse datasets

How I knew I was growing as a researcher: I stopped saying "you're absolutely right!" to my advisor's Qs and started saying "I thought so too, here are some results" Wonder when my agent will do that

so excited to be featured here :)
On our suite of research evals, Gemini 4 Argon stands out in its capability and efficiency. Its performance is competitive with the top models, while being one of the cheapest and fastest in its class.

New paper. Previous: Models transfer a love of owls through sequences of numbers (Subliminal Learning). New: We show models can transfer more complex traits: novel skills, agentic hacking, backdoors. Here, a backdoor transfers with neither trigger nor behavior in the data!

no! the real perfect fifth is exactly 3 to 2! equal temperament is a compromise we made with the devil because of original sin
The “perfect” fifth in music theory approximates to 1.5. But in reality it is 1.4983070768 (nonrepeating)
