Reposted by Ilya RazenshteynHuck Bennett @huckbennett.bsky.social · 19/03/2025I don't often weigh in on AI issues, but had some thoughts based on an interesting recent post by @ilyaraz.bsky.social on LinkedIn. Ilya posted recent comments by two top algorithms researchers noting how well LLMs had done on their algorithms exams. 1/ 161

Ilya Razenshteyn @ilyaraz.bsky.social · 05/01/2025While playing with Llama on the (publicly available) IMDB review dataset, I noticed the "Safe LLM Streisand effect": the reviews the model refused to classify contain some truly disturbing shit, but now they stand out from the dataset of 50000 reviews. How is that for "safety"? 000

Ilya Razenshteyn @ilyaraz.bsky.social · 14/12/2024Looking into the literature, I think we need to assume that the array is promised to be a permutation of 1, 2, ..., n, which rules out my example. Then, your condition is indeed equivalent to being far in Hamming distance. 000
Ilya Razenshteyn @ilyaraz.bsky.social · 14/12/2024Wait, I guess it depends how you define "10% entries must be moved". Otherwise, you need to distinguish 1, 2, ..., n and 1, 2, 0.9n - 1, n + 1, 0.9n + 1, 0.9n + 2, ..., n, which are the same except two elements. Or I am missing something? 220

Ilya Razenshteyn @ilyaraz.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Without ChatGPT it would have been "slaughter" not "wrestling". ;-) 110
Ilya Razenshteyn @ilyaraz.bsky.social · 12/12/2024I am working on a side project that is meaning to make reading news and staying informed easier. If there is interest, I might do some “building in public” as the cool kids say these days. Pls like or share to indicate the said interest (eg if you want to see me wrestling with web development). 270
Ilya Razenshteyn @ilyaraz.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Yay! I am in the process of waiting for mine. Good luck!! 000
Ilya Razenshteyn @ilyaraz.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Do you also remember your exact arrival date? I feel every immigrant does. :D 110
Ilya Razenshteyn @ilyaraz.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Hello, world! I work in tech, and love running, hiking and cycling unreasonably long distances. Sporadically, I blog about these things: purposefulrunning.org . On tap for the next year: run 37 miles in Joshua Tree Park, bike 200 miles from Seattle to Portland and hike up Mount Whitney.purposefulrunning.orgPurposeful Running – Adventures by Ilya Razenshteyn 050
