Secure builds (in-VPC / VPN / static IP) are now 64% faster to start.

Creator of the Keras deep-learning library and the ARC-AGI benchmark.
About a year ago, before it was on anyone's radar, we began exploring the idea of a benchmark for open-ended invention. Since then, we've developed several promising directions that will serve as the foundation for ARC 4 and ARC 5. We're incredibly excited to share what we've been building. We're still on track to release ARC 4 in Q1 next year, as promised. Quoting @arcprize ARC-AGI-4 will be a benchmark for autonomous open-ended innovation. It will continue our commitment to open-source, giving the research community a shared target for progress that benefits all of humanity. Despite rapid model progress, humans still significantly outperform AI at open-ended inventio… benchmarks Related

Mathilde Marcolli writes: "What is it about all of these famous and less famous, invariably hard, Big Problems™? There is an undeniable sense in which these questions are interesting. Typically they are because, in the process of thinking about a particularly hard question, a lot of new mathematics gets developed that advances the field as a whole. The Riemann hypothesis is currently unsolved (at the time of this writing), but many people, in the process of thinking about the problem, have developed a very significant amount of very interesting mathematics. That is certainly a valuable goal.… its.caltech.edu

That's around one in eight. And six in ten of them have never had a job at all. I know that these young people aren't lazy. They have been let down by a system that told them there was only one route to success, and then left them without the opportunities to get their foot in the door anywhere else.

Their words
Compassionate Inquiry is an in depth teaching and distillation of the approach I have developed to working with human beings beset by personal issues, health problems that need gently guided exploration, mental health challenges, addictions, relationship difficulties and, above all, an unhealthy relationship to their own selves.

Sizing engineering teams.

Their words
Oncall rotations want 8 engineers. For production oncall responsibilities, I’ve found that two-tier 24/7 support requires eight folks.

Their words
Managers should support 6-8 engineers. This gives them enough time for active coaching, coordinating and furthering their team’s mission by writing strategies, leading change, and so on.

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.
