Nebula is not the fastest mesh VPN, but neither are the others
When have you seen a vendor or developer publish benchmarks where their product or project was represented as being on par with (or behind) its direct competitors? There must be examples of this, but I’m struggling to come up with any. Regardless, why would anyone choose to do this? I hope this article clarifies why […]

Chain-of-Thought Reasoning Without Prompting
Abstract:In enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), prior research primarily focuses on specific prompting techniques such as few-shot or zero-shot chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting. These methods, while effective, often involve manually intensive prompt engineering. Our study takes a novel approach by asking: Can LLMs reason effectively without prompting? Our findings reveal that, intriguingly, […]

The game theory of seduction and marriage with Jane Austen
A key theme of this Substack is that seemingly irrational behaviour makes a lot of sense when we appreciate the right degree of complexity that people face when making decisions. In this post, I look at a domain where rationality is often deemed to be absent: love and seduction. I discuss this theme through the […]
