Starting the year with a new paper on arXiv!
I always thought it was so cool to talk about research here, however previous work I have done isn't really easy to present to a general audience, until now!

Here's a link to it: https://t.co/7QI6G6scaF or read more in this thread.

this is so cool, can't wait to see what they build. congrats to everyone involved!

[AMI Labs @amilabs]

Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI) is building a new breed of AI systems that understand the world, have persistent memory, can reason and plan, and are controllable and safe.

We’ve raised a $1.03B (~€890M) round from global investors who believe in our vision of universally intelligent systems centered on world models. This round is co-led by Cathay Innovation, Greycroft, Hiro Capital, HV Capital, and Bezos Expeditions, along with other investors and angels across the world.

We are a growing team of researchers and builders, operating in Paris, New York, Montreal and Singapore from day one.

@VipulS_1 hi, I just applied, that'd be great, thanks!

[erisa @erisaonX]

Looking for a job while keeping up with research is kind of draining but.. I am kind of enjoying (?) the process somehow.

Like I have no clue what the future holds and that’s a bit exciting ngl.

[erisa @erisaonX]

@V_like_flan Best of luck, hope it goes well for you

[erisa @erisaonX]

Now, if you are in the same boat as me and applying for jobs, and feeling discouraged: well, I get it. Keep trying, I tell myself and you. Best of luck!

[erisa @erisaonX]

There has been lots of applying online and talking to people and asking for referrals, but hey, that’s part of an early career in maybe not so great of a market.

@InterviewsChat go away bot

[erisa @erisaonX]

Had my first onsite technical interview yesterday and it was actually pretty fun!

With the whole ai situation, I really appreciate companies that fly out their candidates for in person interviews.

[erisa @erisaonX]

a hyperbolic time chamber would have been pretty handy right now

[erisa @erisaonX]

paper got accepted! 🎉

[erisa @erisaonX]

New paper is now available on arxiv!

Let me first tell you the coolest part: we complete and prove a result that, to the best of our knowledge, has been open since at least 2009 (ref. https://t.co/4xRrEyeUDU)!

@namankatyal14 I have had it for a while, although atm it's just decorative

[erisa @erisaonX]

While this is the most stressful time ever, I am very grateful that this is how working from home on research looks like.

I have my bestie sitting beside me, patiently waiting for her 5 o’clock walk.

[erisa @erisaonX]

circling back on this: the Claude code extension on vs code is pretty good for .tex files.

I gave it my handwritten notes, together with a .tex file I am currently working on and an old project written in the style I want. I asked it to incorporate the handwritten notes, that I shared pictures of, into a lemma while preserving the writing style, and it did pretty well. On a second run, I asked it to refine the proof while following the writing style of a different proof, that was already polished, and it actually understood the assignment!

I mean this is great, can go back to doing math on a chalk board and not worry about the typing.

[erisa @erisaonX]

I used Claude code for latex in vs code for the first time today and it is pretty decent.

While I don't trust it with the math I am doing, I attached pictures of a handwritten proof and asked it to formalize it and write it on my document. It did pretty ok.

[erisa @erisaonX]

wow, maybe this is a sign that I need to take a break (ah if only I had saved the statement of the problem I was working on)

[erisa @erisaonX]

@namankatyal14 Hahah that’s a very nice way of putting it. What’s your PhD in? 146 is a very high number.

[erisa @erisaonX]

@namankatyal14 Like 6 lol

[erisa @erisaonX]

@namankatyal14 0 for sure, haven’t saved anything in .pptx since undergrad. But even overleaf/beamer ones, just a handful tbh
