A new study of 35,525 adults finds that giving low-dose aspirinduring acute COVID infection may lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 52%. The benefit may come from aspirin’s ability to reduce inflammation and blood clotting triggered by SARS-CoV-2. 1/

Excited to launch SYNTHETIC-2! Beyond the amazing inference infra work that went into this, we've also made a bunch of changes to our data curation. Other than for SYNTHETIC-1, where we mainly focused on SFT, we've particularly taken care of making this dataset useful for RL;

Tired: SaaS ERP bouba slow bloated web UI with $199/mo plan. Wired: 2005 era software on CD that you can just buy on eBay for $20 and it'd probably work way better and it'd be portable on a Windows XP virtual machine featuring an absolutely delightful UI.

It doesn't matter what the LM writes about the code it generated or about the reason for the bug it discovered. An LM doesn't think; it prints words. Every explanation of its thought process is post-rationalization, not the real reason for its decision. This is why one should
