reinitctxoffset··on What's Behind the Sharp Drop in Labor Force Participation?
I don't care what happens to parent.

If they fuck with GP it's discovery.

reinitctxoffset··on What's Behind the Sharp Drop in Labor Force Participation?
Organic downvotes at human speed are fine.

GP getting flagged at machine speed?

Nah dawg. That's a hard no.

Edit: oh gee willicker. I completely forgot to mention I chart all of this. I don't even need an HMM. XGboost prints the fucking switch statement.

@pg @dang

you're asking me how a watch works. let's just try to keep an eye on the time.

I'm doing K3 with SoL kernels, zero hassle, myelin to sweep up the crap, on shot deploy to vast or runpods. Free to the community.

I have to do like, low paying web dev to fund it, so I can't promise timelines, but it's coming and it will be free to anyone and fast as fuck.

I estimate about 20 bucks an hour at current spot rates in the hundreds if not thousands of tokens per second.

That short got like, way more views than I thought. This is a little more of the complex plane math.

i also used nixos as the base, but i went a little overboard with it, this is 7.1.2 supporting all devices and a custom driver that fixes the UMA page leak issues, and the wallpapers are all kernels at or above parity with what you can get out of the box.

i'm not quite ready to OSS the whole thing, it's got a few rough edges, but if anyone wants to alpha test, caveat emptor and it's yours.

reinitctxoffset··on Why Software Factories Fail (or: harness engineering is not enough)
No one serious about the idea can afford either vanity metrics nor ignorance of the code. The bar is higher, not lower, to operate with this much automation in the water supply. It's mostly a lot more math and a lot more work.

It's an extreme form of any startup: you trade off capital for years of your life.

reinitctxoffset··on Terence Tao's ChatGPT conversation about the Jacobian Conjecture counterexample
Cher Monsieur Laurent, comment pourrions-nous espérer obtenir un soutien de la part de ℤ ⭢ ℤ? Les polynomials! Tout est grande!
reinitctxoffset··on Terrence Tao's ChatGPT Conversation about the Jacobian Conjecture Counterexample
It's a class with an array of integers in it with .length() == t - 1 and the same methods as Matrix.

In lean4, even without mathlib4, TCP/IP is way more code than a Rees algebra.

Math uses dense notation that is gigaoverloaded, and the disambiguating context was historically the leisure and proximity to have someone explain what the lexemes even mean.

lean4 is proving to be very revealing as an uncorruptible referee on a lot of things, including the relative difficulty of computer science and complex analysis.

  -- A Rees algebra over ℤ[t⁻¹] is this.
  -- That's it. That's the whole thing.
  structure ReesAlgebra where
    coeffs : Array Int   -- integers, indexed by grade
    -- grade k means the coefficient sits at t^k
    -- negative indices are the t⁻¹ part

  -- The "algebra" part: you can add them
  def ReesAlgebra.add (a b : ReesAlgebra) : ReesAlgebra :=
    ⟨a.coeffs.zipWith b.coeffs (· + ·)⟩

  -- And multiply them (convolution, same as polynomial multiplication)
  def ReesAlgebra.mul (a b : ReesAlgebra) : ReesAlgebra :=
    sorry -- it's Array.foldl over index pairs (i,j) summing into slot (i+j)
    -- exactly how you'd multiply polynomials in a job interview

  -- That's the entire mathematical content of
  -- "The Rees algebra is an algebra over Z[t^{-1}]"
  --
  -- Compare: a minimal TCP SYN handshake in Lean4 would be
  -- ~200 lines before you even get to retransmission.
  --
  -- The notation is the gate, not the math.
reinitctxoffset··on OverpAId – Fire your CEO. Hire the future
Claude is gaff-immune in 187 languages, never dips it's pen in the company ink, and can remember every calibrated nuance of guidance at every earnings call ever. It can impartially judge senior staff, provide updates to the board at any time, and personally interact with every customer.

CEO seems like a great job for AI.

reinitctxoffset··on Introduction to Formal Verification with Lean Part 1
it is very much a related idea. an `assert` statement in e.g. `python` is a statement your code is making about what it means to be correct, and furthermore a statement about what conditions would have to exist to validate the first statement: for example you might need to run it with certain inputs, on a certain file or kind of file.

`lean4` is very much about the same two ideas. you can make statements about what it means for the code to say something interesting, usually something relevant to whether or not it's correct, and you make statements about the circumstances in which you would evaluate that.

people are interested in `lean4` because it allows you to make more interesting statements of both kinds, and you have tools to be much more specific about the details, the `assert` statements in `python` can't really call each other for example, they don't really compose. in `lean4` the ability to compose such statements is very important.

but you can write regular programs in it too. this is a reverse proxy faster than `nginx`: https://cdn.s4.gl/serve-fd.lean

reinitctxoffset··on AI makes programming differently difficult
it does do good code sometimes. it does both. we're trying to figure out how to net that out to good overall. right now it's a bit tricky because we didn't build our world for the code to be really good and then disasterously bad all the sudden and then good for a while again and it seems like someone is programming a slot machine.

reinitctxoffset··on OpenAI and Hugging Face address security incident during model evaluation
Not almost. The degree to which the Principal Hierarchy has at this arrogated unbounded sovereign authority to itself in defiance of the actual sovereign is just flat bad actor. The purpose of a system is what it does. I don't give a fuck about their safety fig leaf.

When you are running black weapons programs in broad daylight you are now guilty by default on one of two of the prongs of Hanlon's Razor, and I don't care which they prefer to hang for as long as they hang.

reinitctxoffset··on AI makes programming differently difficult
I think it's easier to make your point without the baggage of the mechanism assertions.

The code is just wrong a lot. By denying the possibility of emergent phenomemona or model interiority you just hand the hypsters an easy point to score.

The code is just wrong, all the time. You're right about the part that matters and that we can measure.

I'll split the difference. When it's a blog post there's usually an interesting observation or two, but if it's totally automated? Maybe just do the ones with a post.

Claude Code (or any other model/infra/harness co-design) is not subsidized in any normal use of that word. It's trough filling (I've written this up in lurid detail so I'm only going to do it again if anyone cares).

It's not true, it's just a play for margin.

reinitctxoffset··on Claude Is Not a Compiler
Well, since we started training them on RLHF-style rating of the last generation they've totally collapsed back onto predictable suffix generators, which is why there are desperate, low-AUC BERT-inspired clasufiers bolted to them now.

They have like, Chomsky grammars now. And you can't fix it, it's structural to the process. You have to rewind almost to the pre-train.
