This plus Nostalgebraist’s “The Void” might be the pieces of reading I’d recommend most to start grappling with the weirdness of language models
This was written nearly 5 years ago, and a lot of the ideas in it are still really fresh.

Spotted this article on HN and wondered: what if one puts these tokens somewhere in the beginning of the files that coding agents deal with ? Would they affect the processing of the document by LLM? Or by virtue of being “close to the center” they would be very effective No-ops ?

RIP to programmers with social anxiety who now have to talk to their computer to accomplish things
i think it’s triggered by episodes when it doesn’t work very well. it seems connected to language.

it triggers some kind of new wrong to feel that explaining things in language didn’t quite work. not that it always works with people either but this feels distinctly unnatural and confounding

Also interesting: apparently a key to getting this to work is to force gpt5.2 to work offline, meaning without access to the Internet. The reason is that, if it can search the web, it'll realize you've given it an open Erdos problem, and insist it's not capable of solving it.

It's interesting that humans think of zooming in as "down" and zooming out as "up." It really has more to do with proximity than vertical direction. I guess most things worth examining are below the typical sight line though

As a non-mathematician, how should I feel about AI solving Erdos problems? Should I be spooked by that at all?

If you’re not using the For you feed you’re missing out
i wonder how much of this is people using the For You feed which does a much better job at finding “your” cluster
The discussions about LLMs today have been fascinating. Genuinely healthy conversations (imo). I have no idea how public perception within the dev community here changed so much over the last 30 days.

BD atlas does a backflip, staggers, and corrects itself, but something flies off. An incredible video that demonstrates both how hard humanoids are and how capable modern RL-based control is of reacting to failure.
