Wow, FFT faster than O(nlog(n))? I wonder if that will open the floodgates for further improvement or not. I don't understand anything about most of the fields these results touch, but I can say that this in particular is very surprising.

"Tortured phrases" is the name of the phenomena, papers have been written about it since 2021.

This is the kind of headline I would expect from one of those news that appear as you progress in cookie clicker.

Anthropic has been doing this sort of stuff for a while already. I mean, who remembers when Claude would just consume all your remaining usage if it read anything indicating that Openclaw had been used on your codebase? Because I remember. Two months ago btw https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47963204 Then there was the whole debacle of Fable silently downgrading to other models if it detected wrong think, or worse, outright sabotaging your codebase if you were working on language models lol

Aside from politics/law, it's probably much easier for everyone else to distill from the Chinese model which already distilled Claude/GPT/Gemini. Maybe not as good a result, but you don't need to jump through dozens of hoops.

Windows became ransomware? lmao

If you don't pay for a product, you are a less valuable product than if you'd pay for the product.

Nethack4 is the name of a popular fork, they probably wanted to avoid confusing people

The thing the annoys me the most (to use polite language) is that product design went off the window with the AI craze. You could probably ship actual products that actual people would want to use, but instead everyone wants to turn everything into a chatbot, as if chatbots are the pinnacle of user interface, the crabs of software, the purpose, goal, and telos of technology. It drives me nuts.

Back when I was on undergrad I sometimes managed to get to the castle, but never very consistently. Opening NAO was one of my go to ways of dealing with spare time but I haven't played the game much since. This is wild tho, never imagined we would get to version 5

I remember struggling with it in the beginning (it has some quirks in the UI and how you configure folders and what have you) but once I got a hang on it it was pretty good

Fake until you make it

How many millions of dollars did this even cost anyway?
