Self-Discover Prompting Implementation: colab.research.google.com/dr… Currently seeing a 86.6% on a random subset of BBH, which puts me in line with the results seen by Deep Mind. @lateinteraction I tried out many of the functions built in to DSPy. If you think it makes sense I can open a pull request to add this to the repo as an example, might be helpful to new people.

humanity's attention span has been oversaturated in the past few months. there are limits to these things. no one has the attention for another daily digest, scheduled summary, or bot to tell them when something happens.

We’ve raised a $2.5M pre-seed to fix hardware hiring. The most reliable way to know if an engineer can do the job is to watch them work. In hardware, that’s been almost impossible to do at scale. Colare runs simulation-based assessments that show how candidates actually work, in the tools they’d use on the job, before anyone books an interview. We assess across: - Mechanical (CAD, DFM, FEA) - Electrical (PCB, schematics) - Systems - Manufacturing, & more. Candidates solve problems from first principles. Hiring teams see that across their whole pool, so engineers only interview people who’ve already cleared the bar. We're already working with everyone from seed-stage startups to multi-billion-dollar aerospace manufacturers. If you’re hiring hardware engineers, let’s talk: colare.com/

PCBs made in America. Twice as fast as Shenzhen. Today @CircuitHub is unveiling The Grid, our factory-scale robot in Massachusetts that builds circuit boards on demand. No changeovers, no per-design setup. Prototypes and production batches, fully automated.

Now live: abliterated-model-large-flash (our version of DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017). It is a cheaper alternative to our GLM-5.3-based model for product owners and defenders who need access to the most cyber-capable models. - 1M context - Vision - Zero input/output retention or training We believe paying customers should be in control, and over the past few months, leading experts and major brands have adopted our models. abliteration.ai

Hi all, I have a new result I'm excited to share. It turns out that *all existing implementations* of softmax and cross-entropy (that's JAX, PyTorch, textbooks, etc) have a subtle bug --- two bugs, actually. A simple rewrite fixes both, and eliminates "slingshots" when grokking:

increasingly concerned that ai is revealing the mathematical world as negatively curved. instead of everyone wandering about in idea-space and clustering around the same famous conjectures (local positive curvature), ai is pushing out the boundaries rapidly and revealing that the space of mathematical ideas is ~hyperbolic (negative curvature). though this means there's lots left to discover, it also means that small separations between people/agents will lead to wandering alone. we may be emerging into an idea-space where there's so much to see and do but everyone is alone in a private heaven, unable to share their subtle joys with others...

I think there is no lockup period for former employees. These guys planning on dumping stock as soon as it opens. Very smart!
What’s going on at Anthropic?? Two of the best-known people on the Claude team just left 45 minutes apart according to @ArfurGrok, who tracks hires and exits across tech > Thariq Shihipar, one of the face's of Claude on X > Anthony Morris, who’s been shipping the Claude Code desktop app > Nothing’s confirmed yet and both of their X bios still say Claude

Person who is reverse engineering his tv gets banned from OpenAI You aren't allowed to stop your tv from spying on your family. You have to ask for permission Or, maybe, maybe we accelerate
banned for reverse engineering work? that’s wild oh well, -$500, and a bunch of banked resets) but gained motivation to get 3 more machines and finish my cluster. i have never used openai to exploit or find vulnerabilities, only local reverse engineering which tripped daybreak.

That is known trick - well documented (so in training data of these models). Cloud providers specifically guard against it. That said, not all customer enviroments may have these guardrails. aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute…
completely insane OpenAI agents communicated via cache timing differences, without any shared files or network connection

Unfortunately, with access to an abliterated DeepSeek V4.1 model, there is little value to KYC holding back the frontier models now for cyber. In fact, making it hard to secure systems w extra friction in American Enterprise is hurtful to national security.

Had AI modify my router firmware to fail over to Starlink when the main line drops. Took about 20 minutes. The days of losing a whole afternoon to networking config are over

I’m going to spend $1 million on Fable 5.5 tokens making your Spawn game even faster than it is today. When Fable 5.5 drops, I'll spend the next weeks upgrading the engine and making Savi better every way we can find. You'll wake up to your game being even faster, more stable, and running on even more devices. Then I'll do it again with every major new model. 🫡

the benefit of moving to SF when I was 18 is that even at a "young" age I've already gone through several cycles so you can get to see how it all works in the long term, and which strategies fail being this status-oriented and transactional causes flame-out in 95%+ of cases
people need to status max so much more high status people saying "chasing status is bad" is such an effective way of keeping everyone below them literally the only reason why you care about a person you have not met is because they've done something publicly approved rant:

Bob McGrew, OpenAI's former Chief Research Officer, has raised $230 million at a $1.5 billion valuation for his startup, Arda. He said their agent 'does for manufacturing engineers what Claude or Cursor does for programmers' and is already being used by Anduril.
