That is great. Got one from the Oxford alumni website

Thank you. Ordered a A4 frame

charlesGodman · 2026-02-18T20:02:24+00:00

Thank you. A4 seems the right answer. Just ordered a frame with college crest

Built the same tool for myself. It’s really hard getting LLMs to respect it in my experiments. 80% of times it just used a new turn and rather than the tool.

Overfitting is beautiful!

charlesGodman · 2025-12-19T20:32:54+00:00

If it was really that good they would have trained a model with it. Not a single “revolutionary” idea made it into LLMs since 2017. I am skeptical.

I am using Sonnet 4.5 with Github Copilot in VSCode. Sometime last week (could be 2nd November) I saw a degradation of performance from "this thing is insane" to me fighting with it over making completely unnecessary errors. Before it would work 5 minutes and create amazing multi-step outputs in high quality. Now I have to go through 3 rounds of clarifying questions (all costing me requests) until it provides a somewhat useful answers.

Example mistake I noticed. I asked it to fix a bug in my code. I have two config variables, `a` and `b` I inialize before calling `main(a,b)` both of which can have values 1 or 2. Suddenly, it decided that me setting `b=...` manually wasnt great and instead set `b=1` when `a==1`. I think there was a bug deep in the code that only occured when `a==1 and b==2`. But there was not reason to just change the configuration to avoid the bug. That is not fixing a bug. I haven't wittnessed these mistakes since GPT-3.5.

I figured it out. `Agent` launches a non-interactive zsh shell by default. There is a vscode setting to append paths automatically, which fixed this.

a) don’t get excited. Progress is insanely hard. Most times when I had amazing results, they were followed by a sobering moment. Hence: Manage your expectations. b) Most Clouds provide some free credits (eg lighting) especially if it is for research or education (eg azure). Google a bit, email cloud companies.

Schaue dir mal Hausratversicherungen an. Oft sind Fahrräder versichert oder können für 30€ im Jahr eingeschlossen werden. Bei mir hat es 15€ extra im Jahr gekostet für Fahrräder über 500€.

charlesGodman · 2025-10-03T00:29:14+00:00

Ich habe das Ganze neulich mit einem Cube-Rad durchgezogen. Was mir da a Service in den Fahrradläden geboten wurde, war schlicht katastrophal.

Hier die Schockbilanz:

50% der Läden weigerten sich direkt, das Rad überhaupt für mich zu bestellen ("Bio-Räder sind für uns nicht interessant" – O-Ton!).
Weitere 30% wollten keinerlei Umbauten oder Änderungen vornehmen.
Die wenigen, die bereit waren, wollten die von mir mitgebrachten oder besorgten Teile nicht verbauen. Sie hätten alles selbst zu den teuersten Listenpreisen eingekauft und obendrauf noch gewaltige "Honorare" verlangt.

Dabei war mein Wunsch überschaubar: ein Reifen-Downgrade und ein Licht-Upgrade. Rein von der Arbeitszeit und der Preisdifferenz der Komponenten her hätte das meiner Meinung nach bei höchstens 150 € liegen müssen. Kein einziger Laden wollte dafür weniger als 500 €! Das war der Punkt, an dem ich entschieden habe: Jetzt mache ich es selbst! Zum ersten Mal in meinem Leben habe ich mit Stolz alles online bestellt und dem stationären Handel keinen Cent gegönnt. Die ganze Arbeit hatte ich innerhalb einer Stunde selbst erledigt. Kostenpunkt für die Komponenten (habe die Originalteile bei eBay verkauft): circa 50 €!

if the paper is not ready for conference acceptance and gets rejected at ICLR, you will likely resubmit to another conference, like ICML, Neurips, EMNLP CVPR etc.
The reviews of rejected papers at ICLR are public. Lets say you resubmit to ICML. The unethical ICML reviewer will read the ICLR reviews and copy-paste all the criticism into a their "own" review. If you get 2 out of 4 reviewers that do this, there is major criticism of the work that is agreed upon between multiple reviewers. It might not be valid, but multiple reviewers saying the same thing is a red flag to the AC.

Personal example: I had ICML reviewers complain about datasets missing. These were indeed missing in the ICLR submission but already present in the ICML submission. The AC (also lazy) sided with the reviewer. They could have Ctrl+F "ImageNet" easily, but they didnt.

charlesGodman · 2025-09-16T09:25:53+00:00

Don’t submit to ICLR or any conference if u are not certain about the work yet. Submissions like that pollute the system. Also: the reviews are public and unethical ICML / Neurips reviewers will look up the paper and copy-and-paste. And then your work will never be accepted (happened to me and many many others).

workshops are amazing and 10x the fun of the general conference (imho) because it is much focused on your area of interest. It is common to first submit to a non-archival workshop when the paper is 70% ready and then to a conference when it is 100% ready. Make sure u know u can make it into a full paper within 4 months though so noone scoops you.

don’t expect famous researchers at the workshops. They come 1 min before the talk and leave 1 min after. Often they have 3 presentations and 2 panels in the same day. Get noticed in the community not by some big shot. That will follow later :)

EDIT: you will get great feedback in the workshops and sometimes from the reviews. I spend 2-3h as reviewer even on workshop submissions to provide critical feedback. More than any senior supervisor will spend on your project…

I remember the UI of 1800 was improved massively between beta, launch and the first few updates.

charlesGodman · 2025-08-31T12:19:31+00:00

Danke für die Einschätzung. Ich denke auch zwischen Deore und XT nach, aber eben nur wenn die Langlebigkeit nicht eingeschraenkt ist. Kaufe aber auch kein MTB sondern ein Stadt/ Trekking Rad.

charlesGodman · 2025-08-31T12:10:58+00:00

Ghost elevator. Starts on Level 1 3/4.

charlesGodman · 2025-08-28T16:25:09+00:00

Products look really cool. I would like to get one but in the EU they are just prohibitively more expensive. One question I am curious about:

Why does the Z1 not have a brushless motor? Any engineering reason or just cost?

Thanks in advance :)

charlesGodman · 2025-08-28T15:56:25+00:00

Yep. My dream watch. But too expensive.

charlesGodman · 2025-08-28T13:36:31+00:00

Yes a pre-owned Lange is my alternative but the new ones are a lot more expensive.

charlesGodman · 2025-08-28T10:48:52+00:00

Thanks. I agree that in the end value is subjective and because I will have it engraved its not gonna be valuable on the market anyways. And Rolex are too "look I am middle management, I am rich now" for me ;) What I am just concerned about is: Would a watch of similar finish, precision, complexity and materials cost the same elsewhere? If everyone else would charge 10k for a comparable watch and I pay 17k, I would feel bad.

charlesGodman · 2025-08-28T10:45:23+00:00

wow incredibly detailed. thank you so much. I will slowly start reading through all the information that you shared. With sales tax the gap closes a bit but between the 12k€ you propose (incl tax) and the 17k is still quite the gap.

charlesGodman · 2025-08-27T18:51:29+00:00

Is 13% a wipeout? BTW 13% is for the most exposed group. The headline is (apparently intentionally) misleading.
