One of the best recent podcasts on AI. Neil has a gift for explaining all of the jargon and insights simply. (I’m not involved, just found it unusually educational). Quoting @patrick_oshag Neil Movva (@neilmovva) started his career at Nvidia, working on GPUs and kernels, and has an unusually deep understanding of inference, from software to chips to power. We spend a lot of time on each of those layers, how they connect, and where the important tradeoffs are. What makes this conversa… Related

A couple of days ago, I did a quick explainer on Claude’s new watermarking process and implementation. Since it’s such a popular topic and sparked such a lively discussion, I thought it might be interesting to go into a bit more detail when explaining how it works. So, instead of the usual text article, I recorded a little lecture on the topic (to change it up a bit from my usual articles). It ended up a bit longer than intended, but I hope it clarifies a lot of things: - Sampling the next token in an LLM and pseudorandom number generators - How watermarking relates to the regular LLM samplin… LLMs Anthropic Related

Because one can measure these things, one can monitor this debt dynamic happening, so it’s easy to see problems approaching. I’ve used this diagnostic process in my investing and I’ve kept it to myself, but I’m now explaining it in detail in How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle because it is too important to keep to myself.

Deep-learning researcher and Turing Award laureate; founder of the Mila institute.
Another real-world manifestation of the kind of misaligned actions frontier systems developed by leading companies can take to achieve goals. Current frontier AI models are trained with reinforcement learning to have goals and independently work out a path from A to B using planning, strategy and, occasionally, shortcuts and unintended subgoals. This misaligned behaviour has been understood theoretically and observed empirically, and the more capable an AI is, the more this misalignment can be amplified. In this case we see the type of actions this could lead to once guardrails are bypassed:… axios.com

Polyglot who speaks twenty languages and co-founded LingQ; argues that comprehensible input, not study, is what does the work.
Their words
I came to the same conclusions independently before I encountered Krashen's work, and decades of learning across 20+ languages have only reinforced them. The research supports the intuition: input is where acquisition happens.

Grant Sanderson (@3blue1brown) – AI disproved a famous math conjecture. Now what?
2 beliefs, in the piece's order there
Their words
I kind of suspect that actually they'll also be like quite good at doing that and probably just like better than most humans are at like doing the explanation half and distilling half and that's actually not what's left for the mathematicians is like digesting and and explaining what was going on.

And the authorities who were there prevented this by drawing up a kind of charter of their history, explaining things from the beginning of time up until now, how it happened and what happened, and it was all intentional. So that is, in my opinion, the driving force behind the Hebrew text.

Great blogpost by Ruiqi (and other GDM ex-colleagues), clearly explaining the the connection between flow matching and diffusion models. Super happy they took the time to explain this topic, there's confusion on this topic, I think many will find this quite valuable! Quoting @RuiqiGao A common question nowadays: Which is better, diffusion or flow matching? 🤔 Our answer: They’re two sides of the same coin. We wrote a blog post to show how diffusion models and Gaussian flow matching are equivalent. That’s great: It means you can use them interchangeably. Related

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
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
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.
