Overall it's worse than the other frontier models, but it's decent for queries about breaking news, due to being trained on twitter data. It's also better for queries about controversial topics, and topics that the other la

It's a good comment, it explains the reason for the setting. They didn't expect to leak their source code. It's hardly a trade secret, what value is this to a competitor?

I wish there was a way to cap the lockout time. It makes sense for 4 digit codes, but I have a 20ish character password, I once locked myself out, and it was an incredibly frustrating experience. My password can't be brute forced even

The inevitability is that these kinds of services just won't be offered without identifying yourself. Claude's free tier requires a phone number just to try it.

I like to think of Palantir as JIRA or salesforce for killing people.

You can run it on-prem, where you can actually technologically enforce data custody. Custody enforcement using the cloud hosted product, is mostly contractual, although they do offer some technical features, like encrypting all data using a

It's improved significantly in that time, but relative to the other frontier models, it is still the one that is the most condescending and coddling.

Gemini also won't help you with C++ if you are under 18, since it would be unsafe. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39632959

I don't quite understand the 5 second overlap. I assume it's so that events that occur over the chunk boundary don't get missed, but is there any examples or benchmarking to examine how useful this is?

If their coin requires a web service to process each transaction, then an offline key isn't very useful. You can criticize their design, but you can't have a dude burning a CD-ROM every time someone wants some coins.

I really liked these benchmarks, and would check in with them from time to time. No benchmark is perfect, but these ones cover such a wide variety of different languages and frameworks, it's a good resource for getting a rough idea of

I used some small parts of localstack a long time back for some integration tests. I haven't kept up with what it does. Looking at their pricing tiers, it seems that their paid product now a cloud based service, or partly cloud based.

Yeah, also "RTX IO", and Microsoft "DirectStorage". What was more interesting about the unreal engine demo, was that they can stream not only textures, but geometry too. Virtual texturing had been around a long time, but

Perhaps, the word does have it's own token, " geschniegelt"(geschniegelt with a space in front of it), is token 192786 in the tokenizer that GPT-5 apparently uses. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/niieani&#x2

Cool project. The viewer is cool, took me a while to find the link to it though, maybe add a link in the readme next to the screenshot.

If it's not already public data, this seems like the sort of thing you could probably get legally by filing a FOIA request.

All DDR5 ram has some amount of error correction built in, because DDR5 is much more prone to bit flipping, it requires it. I'm not really sure if this makes it overall more or less reliable than DDR2/3/4 without ECC though.

There isn't any good technical reason why an iPad couldn't run macOS. The differences between the A and M series chips is mostly about the kinds of IO the SOC provides. The iPads already use M series chips anyway.

I guess they need something to differentiate it from the 17. Of the differences, it's the one that would matter most to me.

I trained 12,000 steps at 4 layers, and the output is kind of name-like, but it didn't reproduce any actual name from it's training data after 20 or so generations.
