In addition to these steady quantitative improvements, the scaling process also leads to interesting qualitative behavior. While the fact that LLMs gain these abilities as they scale is remarkable, it is the manner in which they appear that is especially interesting. To illustrate this idea, let's take an example from physics.

In case you’re interested, here is the kernel configuration for my Galaxy s20: x1q_usa_singlex_defconfig Your kernel configuration should look very similar to this, but not identical, unless you have the same phone that I do. What does a kernel configuration look like? OK, I have the kernel configuration for my phone, what now?

I had always found combinators interesting (if hard to understand). Even if I hadn’t been able to imagine quite what could be built on them, I’d been able to construct solid foundations, that successfully encapsulated things in the cleanest and simplest ways. So immediately I could see we were in a very interesting position.

Its the effort to build engineering structures within the Game of Life cellular automaton. And my goal here is to do what one can call metaengineeringand to study in effect what happened in that process of engineering over the nearly six decades since the Game of Life was invented.

And so ensues the proverbial game of cat-and-mouse that consumes so much time in security engineering. The promise of cryptography is that it helps us break out of these kinds of cat-and-mouse games. This code is defined by a parity check matrix P with and a corresponding generator matrix G.
