I am not a dinosaur expert, but the headline seems off. The actual paper linked from sci.news starts with this (citations removed): > Diplodocids are known from deposits present in the U.S.A., Europe, South America, and Africa. Accordin

Excellent. Now I not only have to check if the cited source actually says what the LLM claims, I should also verify if it made up the source itself.

Cool idea. Interesting that Indonesia, Poland and Monaco with very similar two-stripe designs have different compression rates (11, 14 and 17 respectively). Probably the aspect ratio that also gets encoded.

It’s also very shortsighted to stiff a customer like that. Why would I trust them with my data and ideas?

Yes. It’s all about consistency and user expectations. Apple guidelines for example, which have been in place for 40ish years: > Best practices: Support the default system-defined menus and their ordering. People expect to find menus an

To me, the surprise is the other way around: why does a probabilistic process result in such a deterministic result? Not just for ChatGPT, but also for others (see my other comment)?

Got 17 too, with Opus 5, Sonnet 5, GPT5.6 Terra, and Deepsek v4 pro. So it must be the right answer.

Arghh. What’s the chance that they told an AI to refresh the design? Since flossing is a fourth choice it doesn’t fit into the three-is-good raster. But of course it remains tracked because the task was to redesign the front.

I wasn’t so lucky with my attempt for a Windows 11 driver for an old emaguc MT4 MIDI interface. It works on Macs, but no longer on PCs. Claude worked for a while and then spun itself into a loop of making a mistake, correcting it, then maki

Nice. Reminds me of Apple's OpenDoc (which seemed promising at the time, but a bit incomplete, and then discontinued when Jobs came back to Apple). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDoc

I‘ve seen reports of markdown-tags (##) flipping a pangram result from human to machine (with human written text). But I don’t have a license to confirm.

Good to see more developments in this space. I quite like this service, which is a little further than Hetzner and has several models to choose from: https://www.infomaniak.com/en/hosting/ai-services

This is great and it makes me wonder why the algorithm isn’t standard for browsers as a built-in feature (also for word processors). Sure, it takes a bit longer, but LaTeX pretty much instantly produces a PDF nowadays even for long document

I have seen a local theater advertising 70mm dual projection (but not mentioning IMAX) and another one IMAX. Will there be a difference?
