It mentions a greedy decoder in the readme, I'm curious what would happen if you run it stochastically with T>0. Vibe NES? Or does it just crash.

In old school ML a pathological solution is often a collapse of some kind due to an underspecified objective. Maybe one parameter explodes or the model predicts "0" for everything

I read this as "the code is working as intended but the bug is an artifact of the original design"

For anyone like me who finds theory a little dense, you can prepend "quick" to an arxiv link to get a blogpost-style summary

e.g. quickarxiv.org/abs/2608.29530

Funny, I was really impressed with how concise and goal oriented the directions are!

I would have done better in uni if the lab manuals were written like this

I think they were doing something like this, the tradeoff is that it's hard to do without an irritating number of false positives and/or wasting loads of precious tokens on useless audits.

Yes, so many times I've been jumpscared by work-related audio in my playlists because of this

Almost too much so, it often feels like opus is pushing back for the sake of pushing back. The way old models used to add disclaimers to every message regardless of content

Robotics/control systems is exactly what came to mind when I saw this release! What struck me is the possibility of look ahead search in real time, a bit like alphazero's mcts.

Mentioned elsewhere, but

:term claude

In a split goes a long way for me!

Ymmv, but I have been very happy using classic vim’s “native claude support”

:term claude

It will also expand special characters so you can do something like

:term claude “refactor %”

And Claude starts work on your current file right away. Also your buffers will update with Claude’s edits!

According to this, notifications are possible if you add the app to the home screen, which I didn't know.

A feature more devs should use- I've been surprised how much websites behave like native apps if you just "add to homescreen" instead of downloading an official app, e.g. twitter, instagram.

When you open the shortcut, it doesn't launch as a tab in safari, but appears independently in the app switcher. They are often indistinguishable from official apps!

Seems like a great way for devs to avoid app store pains
