How research works
- 01
Question
A genuine puzzle. Something you don't know the answer to.
- 02
Literature
Map the existing knowledge. Find where certainty ends.
- 03
Hypothesis
A falsifiable claim. Specific enough to be wrong.
- 04
Evidence
Design the test. Run it. Report what you actually found.
- 05
Publish
Share the result. Science only exists when communicated.
The cycle is the same whether you work in a university or at a kitchen table. What matters is taking the question seriously.

Notes on research.
Benchmarks Are a Social Contract
A leaderboard is only as honest as the incentives around it. What breaks when everyone optimizes the measure — and how to design evaluation frameworks that remain meaningful over time.

Delayed generalization is not merely a curiosity of small algorithmic datasets. An account of 300 training runs examining when and why models undergo phase transitions in generalization — and what this implies for how practitioners interpret training dynamics.

Conducting serious research outside an institution is less about individual genius and more about logistics: sustained compute access, structured peer review, disciplined distribution, and the organizational discipline to ship.
