I think it is important to try to find more rigorous things to test than the general sentiment of the people using the tools. If only because the more benchmarks we have the more we can improve models without regressions. METR is asking a r

I have no tolerance for bystanders being killed in general. If the science experiments kill on average less bystanders I'm all for them, if they don't they should be stopped until made safer.

HathiTrust ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HathiTrust ) has 6.7 millions of volumes in the public domain, in PDF from what I understand. That would be around a billion pages, if we consider a volume is ~200 pages. 5000 d

Has the difference between performance in "regular benchmarks" and ARC-AGI been a good predictor of how good models "really are"? Like if a model is great in regular benchmarks and terrible in ARC-AGI, does that tell us

Why would you leave the question of whether it's true or not aside? If it's false, isn't it a good thing that not many people are ready to admit something false?

Yeah it's far from being as good as a DLSR or mirrorless with a dedicated macro lens. Still, most people reading HN have one in their pocket and it can be a good test to see if you like the idea of macro. It does work with larger insec
