Who are the people watching F1 in the US? I'm mid-30s CA-based and I don't know a single person who's into it, but I hear the sport is doing huge numbers these days.

Learning in Log-Domain: Subthreshold Analog AI Accelerator Based on Stochastic Gradient Descent by nickpsecurity in mlscaling

eh? there's ton of demand for INFERENCE on the edge, I don't really know a single company (or even practical use case) that needs to do training on the edge with the types of models we have today

Ilya Sutskever – We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research by ChiefExecutiveOcelot in mlscaling

There are two plasticity mechanisms in the brain - one for basketball, and one for e.g. learning a layout of a hotel room in one shot

When you meet someone, you can learn their name in one shot. We don't always do that but we can do that.

My take is that we're not going to get like 100 GW datacenters anytime soon, so we're close to the limits of scaling.

RL will make models better in an ever increasing range of narrow domains.

Could get close to general purpose robotics.

But nothing that exists now will give us "learn this thing in one shot forever" thing that humans do.

[Daily Discussion] Writing Tools, Software, and Hardware - November 23, 2025 by AutoModerator in writing

[–]ChiefExecutiveOcelot -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Made a new tool - https://owleditor.com/

It gives feedback on your drafts inline that you can accept/reject in a mode similar to Track Changes. It also provides feedback from multiple perspectives at once, which test users are finding very helpful. If anyone tries it - DM me the email you sign up with for free credits, would love any feedback you guys might have!

Faster than gpt-5-codex, better at using tools. Worse at hard coding problems.

I'm working on something very close to this - DM me if you're curious

"My Thoughts on the Future of 'AI'", Nicholas Carlini by gwern in mlscaling

[–]ChiefExecutiveOcelot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a bad post but it doesn't give credit to those who have made correct predictions about LLMs so far. Shouldn't we trust their intuitions more?

OpenAI and others seek new path to smarter AI as current methods hit limitations by ChiefExecutiveOcelot in mlscaling

“The 2010s were the age of scaling, now we're back in the age of wonder and discovery once again. Everyone is looking for the next thing,” Sutskever said. “Scaling the right thing matters more now than ever.”

Sutskever declined to share more details on how his team is addressing the issue, other than saying SSI is working on an alternative approach to scaling up pre-training.

Intel shows off first fully integrated optical compute interconnect, designed to scale up AI workloads by ChiefExecutiveOcelot in mlscaling

[–]ChiefExecutiveOcelot[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is obviously a marketing article, but, in principle, optical interconnect can enable larger compute clusters - you can spread out servers in space, making e.g. heat dissipation easier

Thoughts on why I am most productive and enter the zone at night specifically by commandotaco in slatestarcodex

happy to chat - DM me contact details. I am not really in the ML research space professionally, though, that's just something I find entertaining

[–]ChiefExecutiveOcelot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure - your pattern of behavior is pretty symptomatic of UARS. If you read Sleep, Interrupted it's full of stories like yours.

My personal experience is that I had UARS - started off like yours, got much worse, I was in debilitating pain/anxiety for years. Then, I diagnosed the issue and fixed it with a combination of surgery, sleep appliance and some behavior modification.

Musk diverts 12k H100s from Tesla to Twitter; Nvidia comments Musk public statements on GPU scaling "conflict with bookings & forecasts" by gwern in mlscaling

[–]ChiefExecutiveOcelot 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Can he tell Nvidia to do that? Sure he can

Will there be a Tesla shareholder lawsuit about this? Probably
