Ohh Kay seems like Thompson is just fine that was like a 4.8 40 she just ran #uswnt

Rose Lavelle is having an absolutely massive match today #uswnt

Hutton (asked by a reporter about her goal, a part of a 2-0 HT result): “Yeah think it’s a little sloppy we need to clean it up out there”

Emma Hayes is teaching that championship headspace for #uswnt

#uswnt and #usmnt both up 2-0 at the same time how about that
July 3, 2025 at 12:15 AM
Rose out here breaking ankles lmao #uswnt

There’s just so much speed on the #uswnt roster right now.

I loved the Alters mostly, but the save mechanic is tough if you don’t have uninterrupted time.

going to pivot to Expedition 33!

Time for chai and reviewing papers

New Paper! there is little scientific work that attempts to measure the prevalence of language model hallucination in a comprehensive way. We argue that language models should be evaluated using repeatable, open, and domain-contextualized hallucination benchmarking. arxiv.org/abs/2505.17345
Language models should be subject to repeatable, open, domain-contextualized hallucination benchmarking
Plausible, but inaccurate, tokens in model-generated text are widely believed to be pervasive and problematic for the responsible adoption of language models. Despite this concern, there is little sci...

I have 2 paper deadlines so I’m not really involved but what a time for gaming: AC Shadows, South of Midnight, Atomfall, Clair Obscura 33, and Oblivion remaster (I know, some controversy)

Have fun folks!

Checking this one out today, certainly an interesting premise

arxiv.org/abs/2504.03933
Language Models Are Implicitly Continuous
Language is typically modelled with discrete sequences. However, the most successful approaches to language modelling, namely neural networks, are continuous and smooth function approximators. In this...

PIs be like: “can you meet between 6:14 and 6:23 under the big willow tree? You know the one. Bring all of your results.”

I’m probably going to do my typical playthrough-pause on AC Shadows early this time. I’m really enjoying South of Midnight

In a short detour from what I probably should be doing, I’m going to check the multimodal world / contrastive learning to extract feature embeddings for audio data arxiv.org/abs/2211.06687
Large-scale Contrastive Language-Audio Pretraining with Feature Fusion and Keyword-to-Caption Augmentation
Contrastive learning has shown remarkable success in the field of multimodal representation learning. In this paper, we propose a pipeline of contrastive language-audio pretraining to develop an audio...

I read this a couple of weeks ago by Zhou et al—and given the venue and their findings I’m pretty surprised that it didn’t get more attention

Larger and more instructable language models become less reliable - Nature
Scaling up and shaping up large language models increased their tendency to provide sensible yet incorrect answers at difficulty levels humans cannot supervise, highlighting the need for a fundam...

The thing about being late in PhD-ing is everything is so dramatic. Get a good result and it’s like: “wow that’s going to be in my DISSERTATION” get a bad one and it’s like “ohnoohnoohno it’s all over I’m never going to graduate I’ve wasted my whole life”
