It's funny how different the vibes of the upwardly mobile middle class are vs the downwardly mobile middle class. My friends with blue collar dads getting engineering degrees vs kids of doctors and lawyers studying humanities, stark divides in attitudes and optimism levels

the avg leftist response I see to this stuff is "destroy finance industry" when really we should just make academia less miserable. the conditions for a pre tenure academic are so shitty that even if there were no quant jobs they still aren't going to stick around making 60k

you can probably get 80% of the benefit of a math degree in <20% of the classes. Real Analysis, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, Mathematical Stats. That gets you most of the way there I'm pretty sure. Maybe throw in an applied course like Numerical Analysis or some Physics.

cool paper but incredibly overhyped on twitter. it's essentially the insight that LLMs are a good mutation operator for program search with evolutionary algorithms. They don't "solve" anything, just push the sota on some combinatorics problems.

the value is going to be in training better foundation models, not doing random prompt engineering. that they're making this a "big thing" makes me think they're not able/willing to try and push the foundation model sota.

It’s the era I think. I noticed a sharp drop in men cold approaching me around 2016- I thought it was just bc I was getting older and was married, but I’ve met cute girls in their 20s who say men only approach them on the apps

Eliezer (correctly) perceived that aligning the coming ASI was the most important thing he could be doing, and then tried to do it analytically and got depressed when he realized that was impossible. Luckily for us, we can just do it numerically and it just kinda works.

I've basically always believed scaling LLMs isnt enough, but honestly at each new step that belief needs to pay more rent. I'm much less certain now than I was in e.g 2019 that scaling LLMs isn't enough. At this point I think a priori arguments (i.e imitation learning can't be

one of the fun parts of being the guy in the group of math majors who is "the coding guy" is you get to be in the equally entertaining / frustrating position of being blue explaining something to red.
that is, explaining something to someone who has a much higher IQ than you
in programming there is saying, “the camel has two humps”: if you plot who’s good at programming there are two humps. it’s essentially a normal distribution of general intelligence, divided by a yes/no on the special property of “just gets it”
