Basically can’t convince my brain this plane isn’t climbing extremely steeply
A bit odd to see this dated from 1914. Pretty sure he didn’t die in the first half!
In math they’re going to call 2026 AI’s anus mirabilis
Savings Bank to Super Saver
It’s a bit perverse how AI-driven cyber attacks may create a huge demand for AI-assisted cyber defense. Not at all intentional I’m sure, but seems true all the same.
From the outside at least everyone seems pretty chill about Chabad’s flirtations with messianic heresy, not that I’d know otherwise
Synagogue to church conversion. Only in NYC baby!
Trunk-or-treating strikes me as deeply sad. We atomized ourselves so badly that we have to recreate community, however briefly, in a parking lot.
The gentle drumming of acorns on street-parked car hoods
Walk a block, tweet. Walk a block, tweet.
It may be true but this isn’t such a good illustration
Is whistling in public the old-fashioned version of listening to music with no headphones?
Maybe they just keep it in storage the other three seasons
When it comes to infant pooping, there are hours where nothing happens and there are minutes where hours happen
Music Has the Right to Children is, fitting enough, pretty good listening for an infant
How useful is a new model, really? We can’t answer this for everyone’s work, but we can answer it for our own. And since we know our standards, we’re the right ones to grade these tasks. I’m very excited to track this through time and would love to see more orgs do this.

@Nerland87 You might be right. Yesterday I was standing under an oak tree (of the type on the right there) with the 3yo, and he was picking up individual leaves and asking me “is this an oak leaf?” and this went on for 20 minutes. Like the cheese bit in Borat.

Incidentally, our results are less in tension with @pzeroresearch ‘s recent (very cool looking) research than it might seem! They found the same models to be superhuman at efficiently improving metrics that AI R&D often targets, but not…

We made an eval out of Epoch. Please don't saturate this one, we are already too productive, we can't handle any more productivity.
