We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model.

We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results.

@So_help_me_gd חשוב להיות מאושר גם ברכב

@UriyaPeles זה... זה פותח הרבה יותר מידיי אפשרויות...
אולי זה רק בראש שלי, אבל זה כבר נכנס לטריטוריה של תורת הקבוצות ואורדינלים

@Tzvia13 יש היום כלים אוטומטים לכתיבת ביבליוגרפיות, למרות שפעמים רבות הם מצריכים גם תיקון ידני.
ג'יפיטי לעומת זאת עדיין מאד מסוכן, ניסיתי לתת לו לערוך ביבליוגרפיה, אבל מהר מאד הבנתי שאי אפשר לקחת את הסיכון שהוא ינפיץ פרטים מהדמיון. פספוס אחד יכול להכתים את העבודה כולה.

The resulting algorithm balances efficient shot usage with a small number of unique circuit evaluations and can allow structural changes of the circuits during optimization.

I am excited to share our new work on arXiv:
Quantum Landscape Tomography for Efficient Single-Gate Optimization on Quantum Computers

https://t.co/Cs82dXZoiG

We propose a new optimization algorithm for densely-parameterized variational quantum circuits 🧵

[Matan Ben Dov @matanbd2]

We describe a general framework for landscape tomography based on linear regression. We compare two implementations using two gate set: uniform-shadows and tableaux-inspired Clifford subset, designed to minimize the number of shots or unique gates substitution, respectively. 6/n

@AyalaGlick כבר הספקתי לשכוח את הקורס של חלקיקים, אבל האם מסת הניוטרינו באמת שוברת את התיאוריה של חלקיקים כפי שאנו מבינים אותה? זה לא פשוט דורש הכנסת איבר נוספים להמלטוניאן בחוסר אלגנטיות ולעקם קצת את האף?
טכנית זה מחוץ ל"מודל הסטדנרטי", אבל זה לא deal breaker, לא?

Typing the word "minimum" is so oddly satisfying

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The fact that most individual neurons are uninterpretable presents a serious roadblock to a mechanistic understanding of language models. We demonstrate a method for decomposing groups of neurons into interpretable features with the potential to move past that roadblock.

📢 BREAKING NEWS for all Conway's Game of Life enthusiasts out there! 📢

Earlier today the first oscillator with period-41 (208P41) has been found by Nico Brown! ⠠⠵

Conway's Game of Life has been finally proven to be ominperiodic! ✨

Well, that was easy

Watching right now the Yuval Noah Harari interview on Lex Fridman Podcast (https://t.co/t2iSvZzmfd), and I think Yuval just almost said "Intelligence is overrated, we're supposed to be an intelligent species, but look at you.... "😂

Mad respect for Hofstadter for:
- updating instead of rationalizing reasons to preserve his intellectual edifice
- not shrinking from the magnitude of the implications
- being honest about his uncertainty
We usually see opposite patterns from public intellectuals.
