Woke up this morning with what is clearly an eye infection. Not good. Got the kids on the way to school. 7:30 I book an online appointment with a doctor.

Machine-learning researcher on open language models; writes the Interconnects newsletter and the RLHF Book, after leading post-training at Ai2.
An basic idea in scaling RL: Can we allocate more compute to the harder problems? We did this: If your GRPO group has all wrong completions, sample more with probability P (~0.9) -- in search of more GRPO batches with nonzero gradient. It works! The paper: arxiv.org

Mathematical physicist at UC Riverside. Wrote This Week's Finds in Mathematical Physics and now the Azimuth blog on mathematics, physics and environmental science.
Imagine thinking you had a good 20 years ahead of you. You go to the doctor for an annual physical, she does some tests, then comes back with a long face and says "I'm sorry to say: you have just 2 months to live". That's what just happened here. While planets in the inner Solar System are believed to have orbits that are unstable in the long term, astrophysicists thought the outer planets could last ~100 billion years before being picked off by other stars flying past, and other effects. But recently, we've learned something that changes this story. As red giants lose their mass by puffing o… solar Related

Startup founders have a reputation for overconfidence, but this is just sample bias; the arrogant ones are also the loudest. Even now most good startups underrate themselves, so it really helps to encourage them.

A short illustration of how the Claude's watermarking is supposed to work (based on my read of their released materials). In general, when we are generating tokens, there can be multiple high-scoring tokens at certain next-word positions. Usually, we sample with top-k or top-p sampling so the highest-scoring token is most often selected (if we repeat the sampling many times), but other tokens may be selected as well. With watermarking, there is a key that says which of the (ideally equally) highest-scoring tokens to select. Or, more concretely, the secret key and previous token influence the… Quoting @AnthropicAI We’ve written an FAQ to answer some of the questions we've received about watermarking. In summary: • We’re implementing watermarking to comply with the EU AI Act. Other major model developers have signed the same Code of Practice and will also be implementing watermarking; • Our watermarking metho… Anthropic Related

the ballerina and the kind of performer, that's the wrong reference class. Right now we have a lot of jobs where you have different tasks. So this is the task-based model jobs where you have like a lot of different tasks. So like a doctor, what is their job? They're filling out insurance documents. They're you know, going and like calling different pharmaceutical companies. And one of their tasks is to actually see the patient and talk to them, but that's like actually not the main part part of the job.

Health Insurance: I'm still really happy with what I've been doing since since 2020: - Direct primary care (DPC) physician subscription - Sedera Health Sharing (alternative to insurance with a $5k annual max out of pocket type of setup) https://t.co/RB2oXA82eL Total monthly cost for me at 51 is about $400. And no copays for doctor visits! Cautions: works best for people without existing chronic expenses. Also check the ACA marketplace including subsidies which can be very affordable in some cases.

If you look at the most recent evidence on this issue, they found that post-1990, aging economies became richer. Not the other way around, which was true for the pre-1990 sample. And the reason is that these aging societies much more rapidly adopted new technologies, automation that actually helped the entire economy.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the

quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
