New blog post: Actual LLM agent might be coming. They will be trained. A temptative synthesis of the recent advancement by the big labs on agentivity: thanks to reinforcement learning and reasoning, language models suddenly work for long multi-step tasks. vintagedata.org/blog/posts/d...

Something I wonder about when doing an optimisation run on hyperparameters is how much of what I'm seeing is true optimisation over the hyperparams and how much of it is just selecting the minimum of a loss distribution induced by random sampling for the validation set

I've become a superpredictor just through this rule of thumb: future AI will improve faster than you think, but current capabilities are always exaggerated. Another example from @danishpruthi.bsky.social

Meta burned $46B on the metaverse between 2021 and 2024. That turned out to be an abject failure. Their stock is up 140% since then. These are real businesses with real non-ai cash flows. The damage will be limited.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

The "tradeoff" part of the bias-variance tradeoff name always bugged me because, like the post says, it's a decomposition! There are a few constraints (i.e. non-negativity of variance), but nothing that says that the bias and variance must balance like the name implies.

Tech hype charlatans have pushed a bad narrative about LLMs and this has given their natural enemy, too-online libs who love to throw scorn at things, a new thing to deride. It sucks! The screenshot shows an interesting fact! It should be treated as such!

In any statistics discussion on social media, the probability of a psychologist appearing and saying something ridiculous with complete certainty is 1. It's incredible how important stats is to them and how little they care about learning any of it properly.

It's funny how there's a gap between what every schmuck on LinkedIn says with certainty is "best practice" in ML and what theory can prove. open.substack.com/pub/argmin/p...
