In February, researchers at the Institute for Protein Design unveiled a computationally-designed serine hydrolase enzyme. Their study also provides a roadmap for creating other types of dynamic proteins. Doing so wasn't simple, for enzymes often change shape dramatically while

LLMs are 5/10 writers. So the fact that you can reliably improve on the explanations in papers and books by asking an LLM to summarize them is a huge condemnation of academic writing.

Activist groups like GLAAD have to necessarily forgo truth because it is fundamentally at odds with their goals. Shockingly, there are some liberal-minded people and orgs they haven't yet been able to bully into submission. #lgbt #USA #MediaEthics

Some of what that recent Apple LRM limitations paper shows is known (pardon my friendly Schmidhubering; I do welcome more LLM studies with scientific skepticism). Our study 👇 from Sep 2024 shows o1 accuracy degrading as complexity increases.. 1/ x.com/rao2z/status/1…

I wrote a new piece on how much progress has been made in treating childhood leukemia. The answer is: quite a lot! Before the 1970s, fewer than 10% of children diagnosed survived 5 years after diagnosis. Now most are cured and around 85% survive that long.

I think it is wrong to treat "reasoning traces" as some kind of insight into how models "think". These traces are best thought of as intermediate token rather than as a "reasoning".

Why does English say “eleven” and “twelve” instead of *oneteen and *twoteen? It’s because early Germanic languages had or were influenced by a base-12 (duodecimal) counting system! One piece of evidence for this is that in Old Norse the word “hundrað” meant ‘120’ (twelve groups
