This announcement is very much a nothing burger; it’s already been more or less decided that adding leap seconds just isn’t going to be a thing anymore (in our lifetime). Here’s on article from 2022: https://www.timeanddate.com&#

Bing is the easiest to buy programmatic access to. But I think they don’t tell you because they sometimes use residential proxies to scrape search results the same way they used residential proxies to scrape the web.

I am very much in camp “minimize your dependencies and take the utmost advantage of what you already have” but I also am in camp “your database is the most important bottleneck component.” This has two implications: 1) make sure if you use

Already reported (not as thoroughly but still quite detailed) two weeks ago and silently “closed as not planned” (keep in mind that the specific reason might be an artifact of GitHub workflow/UX and not actually the intended reason) wi

Am I the only one that feels three/four years is a mighty ambitious timeline for the upgrade? It seems to be a very significant undertaking…

Yup. This works until it doesn’t (fairly soon thereafter), both from experimentation and understanding of theory. Here’s an illustrative example: https://old.reddit.com/r/Bard/comments/1l1qxk9/why_does_ge

The best model is 5.6-sol; they are comparing to 5.5 here.

“ Terra has competitive performance to GPT‑5.5 [while being 2x cheaper]…” To me that means “it’s an inferior product but marketing dictates we try and hide that.” And “our most robust safety stack to date. We strengthened protections for hi

This is a patently ridiculous take. People are still DIYing the very things you are concerned about, just not knowing whether what they did was up to code or not. Just look up DIY on YouTube and see.

In far from an AI fanatic, but I would argue training it on GitHub PRs and general software patches already provides that. Instead of just seeing the static snapshot it sees “this code was replaced by this (hopefully better) code”

That argument isn’t valid. The argument would be “this string design enabled a whole lot of useful software” but that’s a different matter. (And it could very well be the case.)

I agree that unsafe isn’t evil and shouldn’t be “avoided at all costs”, especially when using unsafe could be eg eliminated by the compiler (very common usage, actually!) or give you far superior codegen or code complexity. But test coverag

I don’t think 16 bpc is supported in the standard consumer workflow but I believe 12 bpc is?

These days cheaper monitors with only 8bpc support advertising higher color support use FRC to flicker between different 8-bit colors at a high enough rate to trick the vision receptors to seeing a mix between the two. Separately, sorry to

Shame. Boston Dynamics is famous for having a “no using our machines for evil” policy. If you break it (eg mount weapons on their robots, even if you’re a government), they won’t sell to you. Hyundai (the chaebol) has no such policy. They s

I’m not disagreeing with you but at the same time, models don’t “know” anything in that binary sense. I’m not trying to get in the woods here, I genuinely mean that what you pass off as a simple explanation is actually incredibly nuanced. A

Post is at least semi AI-generated and contains conflicting or misleading bits. It could (and should) have been expressed differently. It conflates changing one flag with permuting a flag at a time in different places, leaving me unable to

These seem very reasonable, the workarounds used are natural, and overall the article is not at all congruous with the conclusion in the (clickbait?) title? Compilers literally made your project possible!

Thanks! I’ve still been using 3.0 a lot, the price-to-performance ratio absolutely kills compared to Google’s other and newer offerings.

Shout out to Flickr! No matter how many gigabytes you had uploaded, you can still access them. You just can’t upload more without a Flickr Pro plan.

Give it a few days and additional provider will be up and available on OpenRouter. Then the game of figuring out who’s not nuking the weights and neutering the quantization begins.

Did I miss the link to the study? I was wondering if storage contamination were a possibility? Breast milk storage bags are all plastic, and cheap brands abound.

I would have liked to see a bit more on the theory side of things, explaining optimal weight and inference splits, actual issues with existing drivers, etc instead of what’s essentially just a recipe.
