Week 2661
The trip was great. This week included the Orpheus ball, both the Zulu and Rex parades (compressed to mostly floats), and the ridiculous pleasure of sleeping in first class pods on the way home.
Today is my 51st (well, 52nd?) birthday, of course, and Jeroen and Shannon held a proper 9-course dinner with several friends in the atelier. It was lovely, but today Shannon is very sick and so the day has been a quiet one at home despite the lovely false-spring weather.

It’s no surprise that training an LLM on material that demonstrates sound reasoning results in better performance, but I’m fascinated by this identification of “cognitive” behaviors (verification, backtracking, subgoal setting, backward chaining). They sound obvious but I also don’t recognize them from any study of human reasoning: https://nitter.net/gandhikanishk/status/1896988028893323675
