You know what kind of fraud we do in Texas? Beef fraud!

The UK government is backing AI scientists that can run their own experiments A competition calling for proposals shows just how fast the field is moving.

A number of startups and universities that are building AI scientists to design and run experiments in the lab, including robot biologists and chemists, have just won extra funding from the UK government agency that funds moonshot R&D.

Recursive Language Models We study allowing large language models (LLMs) to process arbitrarily long prompts through the lens of inference-time scaling. We propose Recursive Language Models (RLMs), a general inference strategy...

What's the best way to expand the context window of a language models?

With more language models!

MIT just demonstrated a technique for chunking a model's context to allow those chunks to be processed independently (e.g. to find the needle) by other LM queries.

Who watched #TwentyEightYearsLater and decided that the Rustled Jimmies were something that anyone needed more of?

Overall good, but schizo satanic Teletubby ninja televangelist is a schtick so hacky that it might be the plot of the next Far Cry game.

Million dollar idea: a pre-pay restaurant for people who want to dine-and-dash without the ethical problem.

Pay, eat, we bring a bill, you book it out the door. We'll even send a line cook out to shake a cleaver as you disappear into the parking lot.

Vibe coding financial products is a great way to meet new people. 

Today I met two lawyers, the police officers, a judge, and nearly met Maduro.

Just to be clear, this is not "I disagree on the Internet" fascism. This is plain old, might- of-empire, brown shirt fascism.

This is textbook fascism. We all need to be very, very worried.

You should keep your boat indoors. Free-range boats can be devastating for native bird populations.

How about some NYT reporting on that?

Hot take: giving D&D monsters resistances without corresponding weaknesses serves no narrative purpose and just makes the fights take longer.
