Hacker News with Generative AI: Predictability

Value-Based Deep RL Scales Predictably (arxiv.org)
Scaling data and compute is critical to the success of machine learning. However, scaling demands predictability: we want methods to not only perform well with more compute or data, but also have their performance be predictable from small-scale runs, without running the large-scale experiment.

The Linux kernel giving CVEs to all bugfixes is sort of predictable (utoronto.ca)
