I am surprised that people are surprised this is how I prompt Claude. Talk to Claude the way you would a coworker. There's no secret to prompting. There's no need to be overly scaffolded or prescriptive for most tasks -…
Ep 94: Applied Compute CEO on the Limits of RL, the New AI Hyperscaler & Why Post-Training Wins Inference
Speaker 1 | 00:00 - 00:02 How do you kind of characterize where we are today? Speaker 2 | 00:02 - 00:25 What we have with RL is we essentially have a hill climbing machine. The hardest part is actually defining the hill to climb, which is…
Forecasting space weather risks on power grids
Extreme space-weather events can damage power systems on Earth and degrade GPS accuracy and satellite operations. A new machine learning system can predict where damage is likely to occur 30-60 minutes before a storm arrives. The post Fore…

Still one aspect of AI that's most poorly understood outside AI circles... "models are grown, not built" and we don't *really* know how they work. Hence the urgent need for better interpretability -- @eric_ho @GoodfireA…
