1/ Governments and organizations often cut staff and overlapping roles in the name of efficiency. But what looks unnecessary on a normal day may be essential when something goes wrong. Our new preprint tests how redundancy protects human teams 🧵👇

✨ new work: "Truncated automatic sparse differentiation for MLIPs" with @adrianhill.de & @micheleceriotti.bsky.social has arrived on the arXiv. In a 🥥: we exploit that MLIP Hessians are sparse and decay with distance with a "truncated" variant of automatic sparse differentiation. See figure. 👇
Truncated automatic sparse differentiation (ASD). (a) Toy chain of 7 atoms, model reach K = 2 hops. The Hessian H is recovered from Hessian-vector products (HVPs) with the columns of a seed matrix S, giving the compressed product HS. Since H is sparse, star coloring needs 5 colors, hence 5 HVPs instead of 7. Each entry of H is read from one entry of HS (its hue), directly or via its symmetric partner; entries that are sums are never read (crossed). Truncating to one hop needs only 3 HVPs, but the neglected two-hop couplings (gray) now contaminate entries that are read (dots), causing errors. (b) MOF-177 with PET-XS: atoms within K = 5 hops of one Zn atom in the model's graph, with its cutoff sphere and one-hop edges; rest of the cell in gray. (c) Same atoms colored by the force-constant block norm ‖Φᵢⱼ‖ to the marked atom, decaying with distance. (d) Whole Hessian of MOF-177, one cell per atom pair, graph neighbors adjacent: hop count above the diagonal, ‖Φᵢⱼ‖ below, zeros white.

I did go through the paper, it doesn't introduce anything really new, if you were worried, just more of extenstion to LLMs from small networks, specifically, to Gemini. However, there're very good experiments about joint equilibrium of the agentic system (sort of idealised version for rationality).

Codex and Claude Code have a neat auto approve feature where 1) it doesn't ask for permissions, but 2) you get to feel safe. Well --- do you? The premise is it is asking an agent for permission. But if you don't trust the driver agent, why should you trust the review agent?
