Just released! The Neurosynthetic Research Institute is launching the IJCAI-ECAI 2026 NeuroGolf Challenge. Implement ARC-AGI transformations by designing minimal neural networks. How simple can a model be and still solve the task?
wait to press return when it asks anything
exceptional stuff, how do you feel about the idea of creating a discord community around the book? we could have reading sessions, q&a’s, community etc
Excited to launch the accompanying free RLHF Course for my book. To kick it off, I've released:
- Welcome video
- Lecture 1: Overview of RLHF & Post-training
- Lecture 2: IFT, Reward Models, Rejection Sampling
- Lecture 3: RL Math
- Lecture 4: RL Implementation

Physicist has written a fascinating big beautiful paper.Let’s not be afraid to call it what it is - groundbreaking.

it’s still a thing but it’s gone from nonsensical text to incoherent “thought”.

Science News from research organizations Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing - Colonies surged 15-fold A lab-made diet supercharged bee colonies and could help save our food supply. Date: March 27, 2026 Source: University of Oxford Summary: Scientists have developed a breakthrough "superfood" for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in pollen. In controlled tri-als, colonies fed this specially designed diet produced up to 15 times more young, showing a dramatic boost in reproduction and overall health. As climate change and modern agriculture reduce the availability of natural pollen, this innovation could offer a practical way to support struggling bee populations.
Thank you University of Oxford! 🐝🌎
everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code
here's what things actually look like
- your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping 1/4
7yo: Dad can we go to Shake Shack for dinner?
Me: No, we just went there on Monday
7yo: Pleeeeease
Me: No, we're not going to do that
7yo: You're not hearing my feedback. Reopen this issue so that others can weigh in, and also commit to a timeline for reconsidering this
Me: Who taught you that?
guy leaning forward in seat - "locking in"
when youre coding & switch from listening to sad indie music to metal
impressive stuff, now you must stream bad apple to it! 😅
consider my mind blown!
firecracker VMs maybe? (same line of thought as V8 isolates but with real virtualisation instead of thread based parallelism)
Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place

comment on youtube of the mentioned video saying “If you can't own what you pay for, don't pay for what you own.”; the comment’s been liked by the channel owner himself.
this is my takeaway from owning digital games
are you planning to try the new risc mainboard from @frame.work?
oh no i’m sorry 😢
wait till you encounter the hell that’s trying to make images built for a different os architecture than yours 😔
holy shit that’s insane, congrats!
have you heard of lobste.rs?
someone’s gotta squat that @me 🤣
in other news, water is wet /s
it’s the “with ai” bit that’s irksome
wondering if they would consider making something for the A-series as well considering just how inexpensive and ubiquitous they are
for me, my fastmail account stopped working with the default mail app and only an update to 18.3 public beta fixed it
any idea when it’s shipping to the app stores?
