This is really great. I love the amount of interaction you can have once you realize you can jump over to the other side, and stand on your opponent's head, etc. I also really like the beginning: the bouncing ball that continues to bou

I don't have access to Think, but I tried Grok 3 regular, and it was hilarious, one of the longest answers I've ever seen. Just giving the headings, without any of the long text between each one where it realizes it doesn't w

O3 gave me basically that solution. "Below is the shortest safe schedule that really works ‒ but it assumes the boat can hold the man plus two passengers (three beings total). If your version of the puzzle only lets him move one passe

Huh, for me it said: Answer: You will see the same side of the coin that you saw in the mirror — heads . Why? The glass table is transparent , so when you look at the coin from below (using a mirror), you're seeing the top side of the

Yup, it flunked that one. I also have a question that LLMs always got wrong until ChatGPT o3, and even then it has a hard time (I just tried it again and it needed to run code to work it out). Qwen3 failed, and every time I asked it to look

I figured the fallacy you were talking about was the one Michael Crichton describes about reading a newspaper article on a topic he knows about vs one he doesn't, but it turns out that's called the "Gell-Mann Amnesia effect.&

It doesn't just force a reboot, it forces a never-ending loop of reboots, rebooting each time you reboot it. > The result is a device that’s soft-bricked, requiring a device erase and restore from backup. Requiring a device erase is

I was thinking this too. They do talk about using FileZilla or Nextcloud to upload files, and mention using CMSes like WordPress, so maybe it's quite possible, just not a big focus. I agree that making it easy for teachers, students, a

Plenty of schools have network control over the devices that are used in schools, meaning that you can indeed narrow the focus by only allowing a few websites to be accessed. My kid's school uses a software called GoGuardian, which all

I'm not really sure I understand how a "Prepper Box" is different from an external hard drive. Unlike the devices in TFA, which are meant for many students in a classroom using at once, this seems to be more of a single-perso

Huh, I've been very impressed. I've given it photos I took in a Nairobi slum, a random non-iconic street in Bath, a closeup of a road in Tuscany, and a small playground in Jakarta, and it got them all perfectly.

I expect that building and optimizing this thing was the fun. And perhaps where you see alone time while grilling, OP's dad saw alone time for hours in his workshop tinkering with things like this.

I'm confused by how your question relates to the one above it. It sounds like you're saying the person above should feel free to go to the pub frequently because the mom should feel happy taking care of the house and kids without

Honestly there's a lot of value in kids experiencing some boredom.

I figured the "throw down for you in a fight" was hyperbolic. Obviously I don't want a friend who will literally run the risk of getting sent to jail over some dumb brawl. And I didn't when I was 19 either.

But people have had activities that take up their time since time immemorial. But the "friendship recession" seems to be much newer. FWIW, my friend recently built a summer home. I went over about four weekends to help drywall, pu

Besides the fact that, as others have mentioned, breast cancer gets a ton of attention, I'm not sure what being non-binary has to do with anything. Surely the only question is whether one has a prostate (or breasts) or not?

I was interested through the first 20-25 paragraphs, and then the thing just kept going and going and going. It would have been fine, though, if it had some sub-headings and stuff to help guide one through.

I don't quite understand, probably because my math isn't good enough. If you're treating -1~1 as a normal distribution, then it's centered on 0. If you're working out the answer using a Monte Carlo simulation, then

"no right to dictate what other people do with his creations" seems a little radical -- i.e., you don't believe copyright should exist? Do you think a movie's creator can dictate that I'm not allowed to use a pirate

Sure, but that's basically my point, or at least the point I thought I was making. Chemosynthesis can provide enough energy for bacteria, but to have anything much larger than bacteria you'd need a bigger source of energy, such as

I'm interested that their conclusion -- that Saturn could only support tiny life forms such as bacteria -- is not dependent in any way on the distance from Titan to the Sun. Am I wrong in thinking that any life must require a steady in

I am glad that this continues to be done by hand, and expect, based on Italian attitudes towards food and tradition, that it will continue being done by hand for another hundred years. It is interesting how important it seems to us that job

Indeed. I called out the second-top category, but you could look at the top category as well: > We found that students primarily use Claude to create and improve educational content across disciplines (39.3% of conversations). This often

I feel like Anthropic has an incentive to minimize how much students use LLMs to write their papers for them. In the article, I guess this would be buried in > Students also frequently used Claude to provide technical explanations or so

I was actually quite interested, even though it's more of a comment about AI than about the game. I would note that I think the LLM had trouble because copying and pasting from the puzzle omits all the blank word underlines ("____

I had the same thought, but agree with others that it's the core part of the game. I've played about a dozen of these now, and very often I can see what one of the big outer clues is way before I've worked out the inner clues
