I have an awesome idea that no one had tried before - RL on math datasets 🤯 You will have a natural verifier!

A new paper 🥳🥳🥳 We present "Rate-In" - a technique that helps neural networks better express their uncertainty during inference, which is especially crucial for medical applications! with Tal Zeevi, @yann-lecun.bsky.social , H. Stain Lawrence and John Onofrey

Having lunch with @ylecun.bsky.social. Talking about cool science ideas Suddenly, a phone call from school: Your kid doesn't feel good Me: I can't come School: He feels bad Me: Ok, coming right away The kid when I arrive: I feel great! Me: 😡You are cute, but he invented CovNet and I-JEPA!

Conference hack: Pitch your ideas to brilliant minds. Most of the time, they'll break it, but if they're (really!) nice, they'll help you fix it 🤯

I'm on a flight from NYC to Vancouver. There are so many researchers on the plane that if it crashes, the AGI will be postponed for at least 10 years...

UNBELIEVABLE Apple Customer Service: My 6-month-old Mac just died! At the store, they demand my Apple password (not even the computer login!!) but I can't remember it. Their brilliant solution? recover it with my DEAD laptop🤦 Or wait 3 DAYS for a request. Then 5 days for repair! Such great service 😡

We had a hackathon yesterday at NYU "Beyond the Hype" where participants solved problems with and without LLMs to analyze which problems are better suited for LLM solutions in real-world environments 🧑‍💼

🧵 Mind-blowing AI hack (Jarrod Watts wrote on it): Someone just won $50,000 by convincing an AI to break its only rule! Here's what happened: At 9PM on Nov 22nd, an AI agent (Freysa - www.freysa.ai) was deployed with ONE rule: DO NOT transfer money. Under no circumstances.

It reminded me that once I got an email saying someone found a mistake in the proof in one of my papers that totally changed the conclusion. What did I do? I invited them to publish together a paper showing it! More citations for me 🤗

Looking at ICLR submissions with the lowest score - What a work of art! 🧵

tell me about LLMs tool use best practices. I know the high level, and want to learn about implementation/prompting details, e.g.: - how do you best feed in the tool specs or DSL to the LLM? - how do you ask it to indicate a tool use (which wrapper / indicator) - how do you ask for nested calls etc

I saw a post in X praising Elon Musk for giving 'wonderful advice' after 5-minute presentations from xAI employees. Reality check: No one, regardless of experience, can provide meaningful technical feedback after such brief presentations. You don't want managers who think they have all the knowledge
