Planning to watch tonight’s solar eclipse? 🌒
@PearseKeane from @Moorfields Eye Hospital has shared an important warning - never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye.
It can cause serious and potentially permanent damage to your eyesight.View quoted post on X
Very cool work @chrisck 🙌
High-stakes decisions with language models
We introduce 'decision-analytic steering' in this study: arxiv.org/pdf/2608.01361
In real-world decisions, different types of errors rarely have equal consequences. So, a system making recommendations under uncertainty must do more than predict what is likely to be true. It must also reflect the relative costs and benefits of acting or failing to act.
As an example, in emergency medical triage, missing a patient who needs immediate care is often far more costly than sending someone to the emergency department who ultimately did not need to go. It's critically important to consider that asymmetry.
We set out to investigate opportunities for decision-analytic steering by generating ROC curves for families of model. These sample curves showing the true positive and false positive rate for two models on a set of emergency medicine triage cases.View quoted post on X

This is a very smart take from @a16z's @speedrun : An attempt to extract lessons for company founders from my new book, THE INFINITY MACHINE. Founders need vision, but @DemisHassabis blew up his first startup by having too much vision. With his next startup, DeepMind, Demis learned how to balance vision and realism. speedrun.substack.com/p/the-fluency-…View quoted post on X
