How to scale RL to 10^26 FLOPs

news.ycombinator.com Jack Morris 2026-01-23 11:47:34

TLDR: Reinforcement learning (RL) is the next training technique for building frontier-level AI models. To make it better, we need to train on more data. The current approach of scaling many environments simultaneously is messy and complicated. Instead, I propose we find a way to do next-token prediction on the Web using RL. This way, we learn to reason from general web data, instead of just math and code. I’ve spent a good part of the past year in denial. I was in denial because when OpenAI r

C3 solved memory lifetimes with scopes

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-24 09:27:42

2025-07-11 Modern languages offer a variety of techniques to help with dynamic memory management, each one a different tradeoff in terms of performance, control and complexity. In this post we’ll look at an old idea, memory allocation regions or arenas, implemented via the C3 Temp allocator, which is the new default for C3. The Temp allocator combines the ease of use of garbage collection with C3’s unique features to give a simple and (semi)-automated solution within a manual memory management

Let's Learn x86-64 Assembly!

‘Superman’ Blasts Off To a Big Opening Weekend

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2026-01-27 03:00:14

The numbers don’t lie: a lot of people went to go see Superman this weekend. Per the Hollywood Reporter, James Gunn’s reboot of the DC hero earned an estimated $217 million in its three-day debut. Of that, $122 million came from North America, making it the first superhero movie in the territory since 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine to cross $100 million. Compared to other DC films, it’s the brand’s first movie to cross that milestone in North America since 2022’s The Batman ($134 million), and it

Study warns of ‘significant risks’ in using AI therapy chatbots

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2026-01-27 00:50:38

Therapy chatbots powered by large language models may stigmatize users with mental health conditions and otherwise respond inappropriately or even dangerously, according to researchers at Stanford University. While recent coverage in The New York Times and elsewhere has highlighted the role that ChatGPT may play in reinforcing delusional or conspiratorial thinking, a new paper titled “Expressing stigma and inappropriate responses prevents LLMs from safely replacing mental health providers” exam

A new Martian climate model suggest a mostly cold, harsh environment

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-26 21:13:05

The Curiosity rover was sent up the Mount Sharp, the biggest sediments stack on Mars. On the way, it collected samples that indicated a portion of carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere might have been sequestered in the sedimentary rocks, just as it happens with limestone on Earth. This would have drawn carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, reducing the greenhouse effect that warmed the planet. Based on these findings, a team of scientists led by Benjamin Tutolo, a researcher at the Universi

Few tech products have been as broadly contentious as video-generating artificial intelligence.
