Matt Levine is a genius. On GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen's whacko bid to acquire eBay: [S]ometimes a potential buyer will lob in a bid without the money, and the target will say “okay do you have the money,” and the buyer will say “yes I have a quadrillion dollars in my account at the Vatican Bank,” or “yes I have plenty...
I saw a funny post earlier today where someone on twitter wondered what non-religious people do when they’re in despair. The OP asks where they go when they’re hurting, where they turn to when the pain becomes too big for them, if not a divine being? The humorous part was the reply saying “archiveofourown.org” I...
(The original article I wrote compared the current system to Nazi concentration camps. It was pointed out to me that this was an incorrect analogy so I've changed the article to compare the current system to the East India Company which I also feel is a more appropriate comparison.) To me, one of the most chilling...
I recently bought a new watch. It's the Casio MQ24-9B. I got it for ~20€. Here are some picture of it: I didn't expect much from the watch. It's extremely simple, and it only really does one thing, tell the time. I do like that, although I wished it told me the date as well. I like the design as well of it. It's...
For as long as I can remember, I have drawn. In the walls, in my books, in my homework, in any paper I could find.

Just because I know I’m...
Getting married is often associated with spending eye-watering amounts of money. Allow me to challenge this notion with a simple observation: the expensive part of a wedding is nothing more or less than a voluntary party. Getting and staying married is a serious commitment which has nothing to do with this party. If...
Thesis: reliable agents tackling complex tasks need deterministic control flow encoded in software, not increasingly elaborate prompt chains If you’ve ever resorted to MANDATORY or DO NOT SKIP, you’ve hit the ceiling of prompting. Imagine a programming language where statements are suggestions and functions return...
As I was packing for my month long trip to the Philippines, I cleaned my room. Not a deep clean, just the kind you do when you want to come back to something decent after being gone for a good while. I dusted the surfaces, vacuumed the floors, laundered what needed to be laundered. And then I stood there and looked...
I have recently had the domain renewal notice for skryblans. It is set to auto-renew annually anyway, it's just they let me know a couple of weeks before that's due to happen. Even though I haven't blogged for more than a month now, I have let it renew, so I'll continue to own skryblans.com for another year. But I...
IntroIf you're active at all when it comes to language model research these days, you almost certainly have an implicit mental model for what kinds of training have been useful for capability improvement in the post-o1 era. The paradigmatic shortlist is essentially as follows: Pretraining, which targets diverse...
