after a cursory read, I can confidently say I could not, in fact, have come up with Kimi Delta Attention.

"you could have..." is among the top insulting phrases used by maths-adjacent people. Others in that league are "it should now be obvious...", "it's abundantly clear...", "it can be easily shown that...", "this is nothing but..." etc.

The rest of us reading this are like, holy batman, what the fuck was that?!

Answer with:

You could have your own hacker news, it's just a textbox, a bunch of tables and headings! Once you add these, it'll be abundantly clear that you also need a database. It should now be obvious that you also need a user system and it can be easily shown that needs a backend. Admin tools, tests, statistics, performance checks and so on can easily be derived from such backend.

Also the proof is so trivial that it’s left to the reader.

This one hurts the most, esp. in fields you're not familiar.

Well, at least these days an actually trivial (to a domain expert) proof can be delegated to a frontier model...

In the future this might be replaced with "you can verify this fact by asking an LLM of your choice". Similar to how people in chat arguments already post screenshots of an LLM answer as evidence that their opinion is correct.

Math educators like Grant Sanderson (3blue1brown) use it in a very specific way: the goal of a mathematical explanation is to make the learner feel like they could have come up with something. And a really good mathematical communicator can absolutely do that.

A piece like this which uses it in a headline but in no way makes an average reader feel like they could have come up with it is just badly misjudging how good of an explanation it is.

Right next to "Learn More" by software UI designers.

Doubleword AI is conducting a classic textbook marketing trick called newsjacking.

Writing a detailed technical post behind the news of Kimi K3 and KDA algorithm with an audacious title like "You Could Have Invent Breakthrough It too" they are pre-filtering out the ones who couldn't comprehend with quick read (myself included) and attracting the ones who agreed with the blog post. At the end with a strong CTA to promoting their 10x cheapter open weight model AI inference and hiring too.

Good job Doubleword, I see what you are doing there.

Yeah, pretty sure the “you” in “you could have” is a different “you” than “we”.

The notation looks complex, but underneath it's all just adding and multiplying.

Nothing complex

Imagine reading the title again in the voice of the Asian Father Meme.

"You could have come up with Kimi Delta Attention, but you didn't, did you."
