@dwarkesh_sp I think Richard Sutton mentioned this as well, right?

[Joshua Yang @RealJoshuaYang]

@drummatick @lilianweng why beta-vae specifically?

[Joshua Yang @RealJoshuaYang]

@dwarkesh_sp @ericjang11 if nearby things matter more because of convolution, could creating the same effect using patch embeddings with board state like mirroring ViT with images solve this?

@dviolettchan Google doc now seems to be closed to public for viewing

[Joshua Yang @RealJoshuaYang]

@esha_hq Because ppl are pressured by family, glamour, and lifestyle to jobs that are prestigious, high paying, and have a clear entrance route.

[Joshua Yang @RealJoshuaYang]

@_emliu Would you say any of these are available to undergrads directly without applying under a prof/lab group?

[Joshua Yang @RealJoshuaYang]

@natashamalpani @scale_AI @CovariantAI Scale AI has been quickly building up their robotics team since last year

@pathak2206 @chris_j_paxton What are you referring to here when you say “science” oriented?

[Joshua Yang @RealJoshuaYang]

@evanliin you should add a rss feed so ppl can stay in tune with updates

[Joshua Yang @RealJoshuaYang]

@zhuoran_yang Can I see the specific prompt / conversation you used?

[Joshua Yang @RealJoshuaYang]

@sudoingX So 3090 prices will continue to stay up?

[Joshua Yang @RealJoshuaYang]

@boazbaraktcs > Projects will expected to be research paper quality - do you mean publishable? if so then students would likely not be able to have large commitments or more than another class outside of this course.

[Joshua Yang @RealJoshuaYang]

@sudoingX I am still in shock that 3090 is 900$ in this day and age.

[Joshua Yang @RealJoshuaYang]

@yongyuanxi what do you mean the more chances - chances for what outcomes?

[Joshua Yang @RealJoshuaYang]

I also wondered the same thing when deciding what to major in- but in 2026, the reality is the current hype, so the most popular papers + startup funding, is focused entirely on the learning aspect, which is entirely computer science based.
That is not to say there aren't areas of research/companies that aren't focused on the mechanical/electrical aspect.

@zhuokaiz Potential for a more detailed blog post later on?

[Joshua Yang @RealJoshuaYang]

imo its a very good indicator of intelligence - its not a surprise to me how LLM math benchmarks use such competitions and quant companies specifically recruit from high performers there. In my experience, in class, the best performers always come from a competition background.

i think there needs to be said difference between doing well in these comps and being top. doing well means you're partially seeking validation from these organizations who value them. being top means you're doing these competitions purely for the true love of the game

@danveloper I'm a bit confused - what do you mean by approximate a graph here? Forgive me, MoE is a topic still new to me, but I don't understand your analogy.

[Joshua Yang @RealJoshuaYang]

@iarthsingh Did you try Lambda AI Grant; NSF research grant?

[Joshua Yang @RealJoshuaYang]

@LeeMcClymont @BrandonLuuMD I’m talking about revising decade later not 2 months later. You cannot physically index a decade of hadwrittwn notes better than Command F will digitally
