If you were lucky to be born healthy in a country with opportunities, you already won the lottery. The only thing left to do is to figure out what you want from life, how to be detached from the outcome, and how to appreciate both the ups and the downs of the journey.
C.S. Lewis on the value of starting where you are: “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
I discovered a helpful technology recently. Transtemporal interself communication memos, or self-notes. Whenever I’m considering going to bed after 1:30am I check a note on my phone. It has notes from past versions of me where I did stay up, and notes from the morning after
Moravec's paradox in LLM evals I was reacting to this new benchmark of frontier math where LLMs only solve 2%. It was introduced because LLMs are increasingly crushing existing math benchmarks. The interesting issue is that even though by many accounts (/evals), LLMs are inching…
1/10 Today we're launching FrontierMath, a benchmark for evaluating advanced mathematical reasoning in AI. We collaborated with 60+ leading mathematicians to create hundreds of original, exceptionally challenging math problems, of which current AI systems solve less than 2%.
Epoch keeps doing work that I wish more labs and government agencies were doing - creating really hard (REALLY HARD) benchmarks for future AI models. Current benchmarks are saturated, meaningless, or in the training set. More like this (and I'd like to see more outside STEM)
7/10 What do experts think? We interviewed Fields Medalists Terence Tao (2006), Timothy Gowers (1998), Richard Borcherds (1998), and IMO coach Evan Chen. They unanimously described our research problems as exceptionally challenging, requiring deep domain expertise.
The most practical skill you can learn is working smarter. But here’s what nobody tells you about working smarter: it often looks like you’re working slower. A programmer might spend 20 hours wrestling with a difficult algorithm, then have an insight in the shower that solves it…
Happy Halloween! 🎃 On this spooky day, The Batch continues its annual tradition of exploring fears related to AI. This special edition has 5 articles: * AI Burns All the Energy * Innovation Dies * No Work for Coders * Benchmarks Are Meaningless * Synthetic Data Distorts…
It’s consistent to believe that AI capabilities will progress blindingly fast but broad deployment will be comparatively slow. Humans will be the bottleneck, not AI. Excellent thread by @jasoncrawford
The steam engine was invented in 1712. An observer at the time might have said: “The engine will power everything: factories, ships, carriages. Horses will become obsolete!” And they would have been right—but two hundred years later, we were still using horses to plow fields.
The plan is simple: you disappear, you work on yourself, you cut yourself off from the noise, you gain the ability to think independently, you reappear, you finally make a positive difference in the lives of people around you, you become mentally healthier, wealthier, happier.
9 short rules for a better life: 1. Wake up early 2. Focus on effort, not results 3. Read every day 4. Strict with yourself, forgiving of others 5. Seek out challenges 6. Stay a student 7. Cut toxic people out of your life 8. Think about death 9. Focus on what you can control
A few hours of distraction every day is the most common recipe of an average life. Assume you don’t have much time, and focus. The years are short, even when you clearly know what you want to do. Cut the noise, get things done, you will become a confident, better, happier person.
