Claude code degenerates into an incomprehensible shorthand (e.g., "Mode A versus Mode B", "Option A, B, C, D"). It delights in packing the residual stream into a single phrase that the human brain cannot remember. The only defense is forcing it to re-explain all terms.

@emollick Yeah, but where’s the fun in that? I live for the thrill of exposing all my api keys to the dark web

@tszzl I know that a B2 stealth bomber exists and Northrop Grumman makes it. Can’t say the same thing about whatever SSI makes

@YouJiacheng What are the other big self distillation papers beside the one you cited (which was a good paper)?

Nice point. This is how in understand why reverse KL is useful here: these methods want to nudge the model’s existing behavior, not overwrite it with the teacher’s behavior. And only reverse KL has that property because it didn’t try to cover the entire teacher’s probability distribution

@ryanlpeterman @nimit_sohoni Do you mean a List like this? If so, could you share the link? Or so you just mean the people he follows?

Not entirely true. NE's drivers are high natural gas/fuel costs + limited pipelines/ports, aging grid upgrades, and weather extremes. CA also has high wildfire-related costs. Policy clearly has some impact, but not as much as we might think This report has more details: eta-publications.lbl.gov/sites/default/…

@mickeyxfriedman I’m partial to a good combobulating, but yes spelunking is my fav too. The absence of a reticulating (“splines” is implied) is clearly the biggest miss by CC tho
