The question above was not preceded by anything; that was the whole question. The facts are at hand in the sense that you have the internet and you're allowed to use it. The hard part is knowing what to search and recognising the answe

The paper evaluates itself on the GAIA benchmark and it was my first time hearing about it, so I tried to evaluate myself as a human. Here's a level 3 question from the GAIA paper (level 3 = hardest): >In NASA’s Astronomy Picture of

A much more useful trick I learnt from Tyler Cowen's podcast is to ask what they think is the most underrated / overrated thing in the category. Everyone understands that the answer is going to be subjective, so there's no pr

In your opinion, what fraction of the small restaurants in a typical city are engaging in money laundering at this scale? And if weighted by volume, what fraction?

Too early to tell. It's not useful as a primary monitor, but it's great as a secondary. In its current form, the frame rate is good but the latency is awful. This makes for a bad typing experience, but there are plenty of usecases

That would indeed be much simpler! I'm skeptical that the browser is powerful enough to handle a usable frame rate since every frame would have to go from the network -> DOM -> browser app memory -> frame buffer. The browser c

Jailbreaks are highly firmware and hardware specific. I've only seen one specific combination (5.13.5, PW3), but the LanguageBreak authors have seen hundreds -- including mine -- so I have no additional insight or instructions that the

I should stop writing code in files like /tmp/x.go no matter how throwaway I think the code might be. I still have the linux/armv7 binary if anyone wants it lol.

Are there enough trees from 300 BCE that still survive today? In the ones that do, wouldn't there be enough thermodynamic diffusion within the tree trunk to obfuscate the true isotope levels in each ring?

The target image would need to reset that field so that a second reboot puts you back into the bootloader because otherwise you'll be stuck booting that image forever.

And only once every four years. Unfortunately, they award it on the 4n+2 years. As someone born on a 4n+0 year, I’ll have just 38 years, which is too severe a disadvantage for me to stomach, so I didn’t bother with it. 4n+2 people, you have
