Reading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Testing Statistical Significance in NLP (aclanthology.org/P18-1128.pdf) and it confirms what I’ve felt: so much of LLM evaluation, especially accuracy metrics, feels like a vibe-check. Wish I’d taken high school stats more seriously :0

Lots of "o1-washing" going on in open model releases these days. CoT, reflection tokens, a sprinkle of RL, all are not o1.

When I’m not pulling my hair out trying to read NLP papers or working like Sisyphus on an incredibly obfuscated,codebase that I wrote down in a coffee addled bender months ago, I like to make terrariums. This baby was born 8 days ago, and she’s so beautiful. My friend Jake named her Penelope 🤗
