If they are on Youtube, try Gemini 3 Flash first. Use AI studio, it lets you insert YouTube videos into context.

Just tell it to use your gcp/aws account using the cli, makes it infinitely powerful in terms of deployment. (Also, while I might miss some parts of programming that I have given to AI, I certainly don't miss working with clouds).

> We're developing a responsible access framework that makes models available to researchers for scholarly purposes while preventing misuse.

The idea of training such a model is really a great one, but not releasing it because someone might be offended by the output is just stupid beyond believe.

Amazing model! I'm trying to get it to run on an ec2 machine right now, but it looks like a lot of the performance actually depends on more than just classical LLM inference. And it looks like Deepseek didn't share their scripts to do the parallel thinking traces and self-verification loops. Is anybody else working on recreating this right now?

I'm glad they can't. The reason large cooperations tend to suck is because some bored management guy cares about typos and invents a process for getting your headlines approved by some other dude who is just as bored and useless.

It's a typo, it doesn't matter.

The talk is still not available on YouTube? What takes them so long?

I heard all those stories about Von Neumann working like that. According to a biography, his wife once designated a room as his office and he became very angry about that since it was too quiet for him to work there.

Personally I need almost complete silence in order to get anything done, his abilities in this regard always fascinated me.

This guy is building a CNC machine and still thinks he's not an engineer.

I really don't like the growing politicization of the CCC. A lot of these people have so much knowledge but then waste their time on politics.

Grothendieck's non mathematical work has always fascinated me, he really has a great style of writing (judging by “recoltes et semailles”).

The great thing about reading the works of people that are as close to mental illness as he was is that they seem to be unable to establish any emotional distance to their works. When someone like him writes about evil, you know that he was looking directly into the devil's eyes when he wrote about it. He didn’t leave his desk that they to watch Breaking Bad, he couldn’t have. His gift of extreme perception haunted him. Awake and asleep.

Grothendieck’s mind became used to the kind of thinking that made him such an outstanding mathematician. He was all about finding the essence of everything. Distill every idea and every concept to find its underlying core. He was always obsessed, always all-in.

Most of us perceive the world around us in two different dimensions. One abstract and rational, and one subconscious and shaped by culture. What made Grothendieck so special is that his conscious thinking almost immediately reshaped his subconscious concept of our world.

I felt similar about Ted Kaczynski when reading the Unabomber’s manifest. Kaczynski could not walk away from thoughts that most of us would contain in the "intellectual theories” corner of our mind. But just as with Grothendieck, he had just such a loud inner voice that he couldn’t help but to always listen to it. This voice controlled his feelings, this voice controlled his world.

It must be hard to life like that, but it also creates extremely potent literature.

Every sentence born in pain.
