What? Have you really read the Nature article? You're talking absolute nonsense here. No one is out to redefine mathematics, fuck!

You want real politicization of science? Check out the GOP's pomicies. They're the one cutting funding to organization that won't bow to their ideological lines. They're the ones barring access to foreign scientists for having criticized the dear leader online. They're the ones appointing political commissars to overview what's fine or not to work on in labs.

75% of scientists that ever published in Nature are now considering leaving the US [1] from fear of the administration. Is that not a concern to you?

>European versions of ARC

But this is an image-like benchmark. Has anyone looked at the article about the EU-ARC, what is the difference? Why can't you measure it on a regular one?

I glanced through it, didn't find it right away, but judging by their tokenizer, they are learning from scratch. In general, I don't like this approach for the task at hand. For large languages, there are already good models that they don't want to compare with. And for low-resource languages, it is very important to take more languages from this language group, which are not necessarily part of the EU
But commuter rail is pretty different, right? The point of discussion was more around the restrictions of intercity.

Remember that taking away bad jobs does not save anyone, quite the contrary. People go from having shit jobs to no jobs, or even worse jobs with lower-profile companies.

Helping them requires creating vast numbers of better paying jobs with better working condition in their country, which require redirecting vast amounts of money to those countries. E.g., by buying even more stuff from those regions, but from manufacturers paying better wages (and selling goods more expensively), so they end up having to massively expand and hire more.
Fascinating phenomenon. It's like a new Sapir–Whorf hypothesis. Do language models act differently in different languages due to those languages or the training materials?
They compared with Llama 3.1 and found that to be better on average for their tasks like European MMLU. And Llama 3.1 is the worst in the batch with Qwen 2.5 and Gemma 3 being significantly better.

Khalil was involved in illegal occupations of buildings, served as the negotiator on behalf of the occupying students with the university, pressuring the administration to accommodate student demands based on their illegal activity, and helped organize an illegal encampment on the campus that denied access to “Zionist” students. ”
Is it considered part of it? From my understanding, the culture has changed significantly and post get auto deleted eventually, so it’s not a good archive either. The only thing old about it is it’s web design
yeah, the linked paper [1] has more detail--basically they seem to start with a seed set of "class labels" and subcategories (e.g. "restaurant review" + "steak house"). They ask an LLM to generate lots of random texts incorporating those labels. They make a differentially private histogram of embedding similarities from those texts with the private data, then use that histogram to resample the texts, which become the seeds for the next iteration, sort of like a Particle Filter.

I'm still unclear on how you create that initial set of class labels used to generate the random seed texts, and how sensitive the method is to that initial corpus.

I also quite liked the EuroLLM project: https://huggingface.co/blog/eurollm-team/eurollm-9b

Was pretty good with Latvian (better than other models this size as well as variants of Llama or Qwen that I could run) and I assume probably with other EU languages as well.
Yes, I am very intelligent for figuring out that products, made under near slavery conditions with the sole goal of making them as cheaply as possible by companies who have exactly zero reputation and whose customers have no way to retaliate are in fact bad. This was an extremely complex deduction on my part and in no way totally obvious.

Also, things that are very bad for the environment should be banned. Not by me, but by the government.
Like it or not, 4chan was a major hub of Internet culture. Especially early on some of the best stuff on the internet happened on 4chan (and a good chunk of the worst, of course)
I feel like this is an underrated superpower. I don't have it - my digit span[0] is about 3, well below normal, so I've always felt that while I'm pretty smart (and managed to get a scientific PhD at an Ivy, so my brain's doing /something/ right), I've always felt like I'm driving a Ferrari but the windows are all blacked out and I'm looking through a tiny hole.

My official association with 4chan ended in 2010, but I still recognise a good third of those names and would wager the leak is legit.
Cool to hear that you got something out of it, but for most users 4.5 might have just felt less capable on their solution-oriented questions. I guess this why they are deprecating it.

It is just such a big failure of OpenAI not to include smart routing on each question and hide the complexity of choosing a model from users.
> them and their close ones are certainly going to be exposed to a whole lot of viciousness soon

Isn't viciousness the notorious bread and butter of 4chan?
But hindsight of HN is different from hindsight of FaceBook.

FaceBook was literally collecting data on what apps people were using on their phones and empirically saw the rise of Instagram. Of course the rise of Instagram didn't need to continue but that's why you buy all the realistic competitors so even if most of them fail you have a moat of dead companies.

Why would they want more languages from outside of the EU when they've clearly stated they only target the 24 official languages of the European Union?
* Take a complicated tree structure representing a document management system and transform it into some different tree structure, e.g. by filtering out elements or fields due to missing permissions, or by rewriting it in the way that the elasticsearch index expects it, or a bunch of other reasons.

* Generate a TOC of an HTML document by parsing all the header elements. More generally, anything that's related to parsing (something which I've had to do several times).

* Run a complex (> 50 LOC) validation on some user input.

* Generate a word document or PDF. Conversely, parse a word document or PDF.

* Financial computations, such as calculating totals of an order made up of multiple line items with discounts, taxes, additional charges, etc.

(I'm purposely leaving out more non-standard applications, such as pre-LLM chatbots, or an entire mathematical problem solver that doesn't even use a database, but just so you know, they exist too.)

There's also the much more immediate counterpoint that it's of course possible to write web applications in Haskell (or OCaml, Scala, ...), otherwise all these frameworks wouldn't exist.
Always curious to know what kind of speech this kind of complaint refers to.

Is there an API endpoint at OpenAI that gives the information on this page as structured data?

https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/gpt-4.1

As far as I can tell there's no way to discover the details of a model via the API right now.

Given the announced adoption of MCP and MCP's ability to perform model selection for Sampling based on a ranking for speed and intelligence, it would be great to have a model discovery endpoint that came with all the details on that page.
Surprised that the admins have any personal details associated with their 4chan profile.

Interesting dynamic here with echoes of the .com bubble where there is a huge web of industries all dependent on the current setup continuing and money being available for consumer spending and ads - when that dries up it will impact not just those selling goods imported from China, but everyone in the US.

Disrupting US trade quickly with massive global tariffs will cause all sorts of secondary effects like a massive downturn in ad spending - directly affecting companies like Meta and Google who look insulated right now because they don't sell physical products.

Not a great time to be dependent on ad revenue.
They absolutely do. They know more in English than in Spanish, I've seen that on all models, since the beginning.
Posted link is a tad vulgar and scarce on information. A bit of a collection forming on The Sun's live blog post:

This is already a month old. Suggest renaming to make this clear, or you've got people jumping on this as a brand new issue.
As a native of another small European language, no state of the art model comes anywhere close to not being laughably bad, so more work in this space is definitely welcomed as far as I'm concerned.
I always get sad when I read articles like "new open source trend!" that are done by scanning github.

All the important stuff is not on github. The open github is mostly used by unfinished test projects.

A "disaster" is a overstatement to the point of falsity. Still an unforced error and a bad idea but let's not exaggerate.
I mean, Mistral AI is a Paris-based company, and theirs was considered on par or better than other open weight models such as llama3.1 and qwen2.5, and mistral-24b is currently beating oh-so-great gemma3-27b depending on tasks.

Also, Stable Diffusion was originally (and still is I believe) developed in Munich.

It's true though that raising capital and finding investors works wayyy better in the US (kindof needless to say on HN) and so was getting top talent - at least in the past. Don't get me started on energy prices ;) but I don't believe those contribute significantly in the end anyway.

Hyperbolic. I imagine if a blind person is convinced by an unfamiliar/altered crosswalk voice to “walk into traffic”, they need a personal caregiver to navigate outdoors. Blind persons are “blind”, not stupid.

But I take your point, there is a line, and we expect infrastructure and trusted resources to be inviolate. And yet these norms are falling all around the edges of society.

The Bay Area has a long history of activist artist hacking society. Billboard Liberation Front, for example. The Bay Area is not just filled with tech Bros.
The real reason is that bandwidth is dirt cheap, if you know what are you are doing at scale.

For 'hobbyists' there is a lot of complexity with setting up your own streaming infrastructure compared to just using YouTube or Twitch.

Then for media companies who want to own it, they can just buy their own infra and networking which is outrageously cheap. HE.net advertises 40gbit/sec of transit for $2200/month. I'm oversimplifying this somewhat, you do have issues with cheap transit and probably need backups especially for certain regions. But there isn't much of a middleground between hobbyists and big media cos.

For piracy (live sports streams), I've read about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_Stream being used for this exact purposes FWIW. This was a while back but I know it had a lot of traction at one point.
> This was just a test, and it was successful

It's too soon to say it's "successful": SCOTUS was 9-0 against and that was still only a few days ago, so far from being a success it's now turning into a constitutional crisis... assuming the administration doesn't fold, or flip-flop, or some combination of the two - which we've already seen plenty of[1].

Yup. I can't even enjoy hacking if the taskmaster is MYSELF
The celebration now mainly focuses on “unification”, with some slight flavor of “independence/ liberation of the South”. The US is not even mentioned. So the idea is that we celebrate the finality of having a unified and independent country after a very long period of not being so.

The message is very deliberate and has been gradually more focused on the “unification” aspect since at least 2014-2015.

I'm kind glad that the industry is distracted by vibe-coding, "tools" and MCP.

It's so clearly a dead-end. It gives freethinking developers and innovators time to focus on the next generation of software.
Nothing they are doing is related to government efficiency. You can't really put too much faith in names.
I'm not sure about that. In these fields there are plenty of places where you need to ingest or process masses of data (eg. from a sensor in a medical device), and you're only going to sell 5 of these machines a month for 100K each, so $3000+ bill of materials for an FPGA to solve the problem makes sense.

The problem (for Intel) is that you don't sell billions of dollars of FPGAs into a mass market this way.
This is my recent article exploring how data quality will become the primary differentiator between organizations that thrive and those that struggle in the era of AI agents. I discuss why companies with the cleanest, most reliable data will win - not necessarily those with the most advanced AI models.

Real-world examples of AI failures (like the $1 Chevy Tahoe incident)
Assessment of how data governance must evolve
Practical checklist for organizations to evaluate their AI readiness
Analysis of changing roles for data professionals

Fair point, I guess my question is how long it would take them to train GPT-2 on the absolute bleedingest generation of Nvidia chips vs what they had in 2019, with the budget they have to blow on Nvidia supercomputers today.
From my European pont of view, I think the definitions of left and right have shifted a lot.

Sure, in Europe left and right may be more closely matched in academia, but most "right"-leaning Europeans would not be anywhere near the "right" in US-terms, so your argument is comparing very different things

>If you’re a consumer, I’m not sure why you’re not singing praises of this arrangement. If someone in China can sell me exactly the same stuff for 1/4 the price you’re charging, shipping included,

Because those low shipping prices are being subsidized by taxes and the rates other shippers pay which make their way back to him because he shares an economy with them.

Just because the specific source of the subsidy is complex and can't be accounted for by the consumer doesn't mean it's not paid.
Thank you!

Off topic, but _why_ is it good that the gov gives hundreds of billions of dollars [if you include grants] to higher ed.

I work in a startup where none of the programmers have been to college, and they seem to get along just fine.

I volunteer in a youth group that teaches "soft" sciences, and I am sure that groups like ours do a better job at that with a lot less funding.

Trade schools cater to the lower income, are much more effective dollar for dollar, and get a lot less federal funds. If that money were to be poured into trade schools instead of universities, it would help create a better middle class.

Why should Harvard be so entitled?

EDIT: IMO, The reason youth go to college is to have fun. The real reason the parents are willing to pay, is because their children will forge connections with other wealthy families that is worth the money. It may be good for the wealthy that the money stays in their circle, but IMO this is not something the Gov should subsidize.
