The ideal outcome for science isn't a couple of labs using proprietary models and millions of dollars to crack trophy problems, it's to have millions of AI-aided human scientists who follow their curiosity and become way more ambitious
I wrote about NumeraiAgentBench I mentioned in the Codex user group thread.
Basic idea: put coding agents in a real ML loop, not a benchmark puzzle.
They have to figure out Numerai, build models, submit, deal with delayed feedback, and keep going.

Replying to @reach_vb
Using Codex to develop a perpetual benchmark of coding agents (Codex and Claude atm) on the @numerai Tournament.
WIP, but already interesting. numerai-agent-bench.pages.de…
Example: starting with little context and I desire lots of “model creativity” -> high; I want a precise code change in an existing project -> low/medium. Likely doesn’t work universally.
Wrote a blog post about it: 358 experiments, payout improved from -0.01 to 0.028. Era-purged CV, multi-seed validation gates, synthesized learnings, and a DO NOT RETRY table to prevent re-exploring exhausted search regions
Biggest surprise: tabular DL architecture lost to a plain 3-layer FF net with GELU.

He does not seem to understand that with every extra hour worked, productivity falls. Also, he seems not to grasp that an increase in productivity means that we can afford to work less. His ideas are pure microeconomics with not a hint of macro. They will fail in reality.
German Chancellor Merz:
We are simply no longer productive enough. Each individual may say, “I already do quite a lot.” And that may be true.
But when you return from China, ladies and gentlemen, you see things more clearly.
With work-life balance and a four-day week, long-term prosperity in our country cannot be maintained. We will simply have to do a bit more.

Germany stagnates because consumption expenditure is flat. Wages and government spending are not rising enough, so that household spending flatlines and the firms sell a lot less than they can produce. No supply side reform can fix this. #macro

Wenn es um die Wirtschaft von 🇩🇪 und 🇪🇺 geht, sollte die Nachfrageseite in den Mittelpunkt gerückt werden. Nur so kriegt man die Kapazitätsauslastung nach oben. ("Wettbewerbsfähigkeit" fällt unter Handelspolitik.)

Capacity utilization in the Eurozone is currently very low. This means that manufacturing companies could produce a lot more, but don't because of a lack of demand. It is simple #macroeconomics. Increase government spending and wages and firms will produce more. 💶🌍🇪🇺

AI clearly demonstrated everyone that it doesn’t matter how fast you build if you don’t know what to build

As Trump considers declaring a national housing emergency (first since 2008), I just dropped my most comprehensive housing analysis yet!
I prove with 50+ years of data that banks, not supply shortages, engineered this crisis and reveal why real house prices have risen 2.5x since the 1970s.
The link is attached in the comments.

I proposed this solution 20 years ago, knowing those in power would block it, they were profiting from the crisis.
For two decades, I've watched entire generations priced out of basic shelter. Housing isn't a luxury or investment vehicle—it's a fundamental human need. Every person deserves a roof over their head, a place to call home, to raise their children.
I knew my only hope was time. That one day, the electorate would be filled with people for whom skyrocketing house prices weren't a windfall but a barrier to the most basic human dignity.
Young people shouldn't have to choose between having a home and having a future. Parents shouldn't work multiple jobs just to afford rent while landlords get rich.
Support me in my campaign to make housing affordable for all; I have shared all data in the comments.
Every person deserves the dignity of a home. It's time to make that a reality again.

💥What if the French state did NOT "finance" itself on the markets?
We're constantly told that France, like a household, must "find money" to spend. But this idea is a carefully cultivated fiction.
