Ilya Sutskever 曾断言,只要读懂那 30 篇奠基论文,就能掌握人工智能 90% 的精髓。但面对枯燥的数学公式,大多数人很难将其转化为可运行的代码。 最近在 GitHub 上发现 Sutskever 30 这个开源项目,用纯 NumPy 实现了 Ilya Sutskever 推荐的 30 篇奠基性论文,全部完成。…

Like @davidbessis and others, I think that Hinton is wrong. To explain why, let me tell you a brief story. About a decade ago, in 2017, I developed an automated theorem-proving framework that was ultimately integrated into Mathematica (see: youtube.com/watch?v=mMaid2…) (1/15)

Automated Theorem Proving and Axiomatic Mathematics

Geoffrey Hinton says mathematics is a closed system, so AIs can play it like a game. They can pose problems to themselves, test proofs, and learn from what works, without relying on human examples. “I think AI will get much better at mathematics than people, maybe in the next…

I mean literally sleep. The biggest differentiator outside talent I observed was between people who sacrificed school, socializing, and career stuff in order to sleep more. Sleeping 10 hours a night for years added up to significantly better performance.


one of the primitives to continuous learning may be salience detection which involves the combination of an input out of distribution for what you would have predicted with your current model that if added to context improves your score or efficiency against various simulated...

I still remember back in grad school. My friend in NLP used to show off, bragging that he had LSTM all figured out. I envied him. Fortunately, my field was Computer Vision. I could survive just knowing my SVMs. In 2024, the inventor of LSTM himself is finally back with the…

What's most interesting to me about the HRM and TRM results on ARC-AGI is that these approaches leverage zero external knowledge (either pretraining knowledge or hardcoded priors, such as those found in an ARC-specific DSL). TRM is the public SotA for such approaches. The lack…


If you have a learning loop that greedily takes in information then you open yourself to ddos (see eg nerd sniping). Boredom is one defense against this. If agents task sub agents to go bring back information they'll need some defense against context flooding.

My regular reminder whenever a vendor discloses a 0-day on an edge device: Patching it doesn’t fix the breach that already happened. If it was exposed for months, patching it is like changing the front door lock while the burglars are already in your living room.

so TIL that Claude Code and the like are written in *React* you can just write HTML & js and certain packages will render it for you. it looks way better than regular terminal output. interesting

underrated second-order effect of Claude Code is the proliferation of beautiful CLIs what tools do people use to build these interfaces? we should make many more of them

Rocket Lab's Mars Sample Return proposal is definitely my favourite. If the US wants to get those samples back in any reasonable timeframe i think they should get the contract.

It’s clear we can’t wait to bring Mars home. Rocket Lab’s original Mars Sample Return study concept delivers returned samples to Earth faster, more affordably, and at a firm-fixed price. Our first step? A Mars Telecommunications Orbiter to deliver robust, persistent Mars–Earth…
