Paramount Skydance’s $111 billion purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) has a notable supporter in Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr. The FCC boss told CNBC today that the Paramount/WBD combination “is a lot cleaner” than the now-defunct Netflix deal to buy WBD. Netflix “would have had a very difficult path forward from a regulatory perspective” because of “the scope and scale” of the streaming service that would have been created by combining Netflix with WBD property HBO […]

Hello everyone. I trained Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct with RLVR and SFT on the GSM8K dataset. RLVR boosted math reasoning by +11.9 points. SFT degraded it by -15.2. SFT (Supervised Fine-tuning): Standard next-token prediction training on labeled data. RLVR (Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards): The training approach behind DeepSeek-R1. The model is reinforced to produce responses that earn higher rewards from a verifiable signal (e.g., correct math answers). This is what enabled models to generate their own chain-of-thought reasoning and led […]

Forget “eye of newt and toe of frog/wool of bat and tongue of dog.” People in the 16th century were more akin to DIY scientists than Macbeth’s three witches when it came to concocting home remedies for everything from hair loss and toothache, to kidney stones and fungal infections. Medical manuals targeted to the layperson were hugely popular at the time, according to Stefan Hanss, an early modern historian at the University of Manchester in the UK. “Reader-practitioners” […]

AI, the Pentagon, and the Claude Surge. AI is increasingly critical to US […]

Last time we looked at the used electric vehicle market, it was to see what the options are if you’re spending $10,000 or less. Two solid choices emerged quickly: a BMW i3 if you don’t need much range, and a Chevrolet Bolt if you do. Lots of earlier Nissan Leafs made the list, too, but these had limited range and air-cooled batteries to contend with; we also included an assortment of compliance cars and, perhaps for the very […]
