rabbitlord··on My Mathematical Regression
More like mathematical depression.
rabbitlord··on Identity verification on Claude
nice to know it!!!
rabbitlord··on Show HN: Recall – Local project memory for Claude Code
With all due respect, this github repo looks really like an AI-generated project.
rabbitlord··on The Productivity J-Curve [pdf] (2018)
TBH, if a paper is not written by Latex, I naturally question the research and learning ability of the authors, and I don't want to read it.
rabbitlord··on DeepSeek Introduces Vision
H200 is not cheap, and I don't think you can run DeepSeek with full weight without any quantization on even two of them.

Although open weights in theory are good, especially for developers and market competition, it is not as wonderful as you thought.

rabbitlord··on The Harajuku Moment (2024)
but that is also discouraging. For example, I just ran for 30 mins, but that only gives me half a cookie. Why the f do I even run?
rabbitlord··on Online age-verification tools for child safety are surveilling adults
The world is lost, I don't think it is any better in non-western countries.
rabbitlord··on Online age-verification tools for child safety are surveilling adults
So you can imagine how much surveillance has expanded in countries without such discourse.
rabbitlord··on We Will Not Be Divided
I am not a fan of Anthropic guys, but this time I stand with it. We all should.
rabbitlord··on Anthropic officially bans using subscription auth for third party use
Guys, I get it that Anthropic also scrapes the internet to train the model. But I feel like scraping open web and distilling from a frontier model is different?

Distillation also directly inherits a frontier model’s alignment and behavior, without paying the underlying R&D or safety costs. That may be a different incentive problem than web scraping.

This feels similar (even if not identical) to a pharmaceutical company reverse-engineering a drug developed through years of costly R&D. It surely can lower prices and expand access to more people, but it’s not obvious that this is a long-term win-win situation. I don't know.

rabbitlord··on How Is Data Stored?
This is so nice. Great up!
rabbitlord··on Show HN: Interactive demo of the X "For You" algorithm (runs in browser)
Perhaps need a little bit performance improvement? I am using Firefox and the loading is pretty slow.
rabbitlord··on Learning from context is harder than we thought
I think they can do in-context learning.
rabbitlord··on GPTZero finds 100 new hallucinations in NeurIPS 2025 accepted papers
You will find out that Top CS conference is never scientific, if you really go to their GitHub and run their code.
rabbitlord··on Just the Browser
Really cool!!
rabbitlord··on Play snake in the URL address bar
Bro the game is intense!
rabbitlord··on Go ahead, write the “stupid” code
Yeah, I think he’s trying to equate it to something like “there are no stupid questions.” That’s a pretty silly analogy, but you get the idea.
rabbitlord··on Why We Think
I’ve always felt it’s unfair that people attribute the “System 1/System 2” dual-reasoning idea to KT. Their research was mostly behavioral, and many of their classic psychology experiments (Linda problem, law of small numbers, representativeness bias, etc.) never mentioned two systems. The dual-process framework only emerged around the 2000s in cognitive psychology and neuroscience (e.g., Jonathan Evans, Keith Stanovich), which later provided brain-based evidence for it.

When the book came out, KT basically retrofitted their earlier behavioral work into this newer two-system framework. The book made the distinction famous, but that wasn’t really KT’s original contribution. Their biggest impact was bringing psychology into economics, i.e., prospect theory, alternative utility functions, and ultimately the creation of behavioral economics. I think people often don’t give enough credit to what they actually pioneered, and instead celebrate them for concepts they didn’t really originate.

rabbitlord··on Almost anything you give sustained attention to will begin to loop on itself
Great suggestion. "Just do it" usually just works.
rabbitlord··on Almost anything you give sustained attention to will begin to loop on itself
This is really good and inspiring writing. I love it.
