Just wanted to say that the plots are so nice. They perfectly balance visual noise and information density, _and_ they're aesthetically pleasing.

Does anyone else also feel... uneasy, bothered, it's hard to express the feeling, by LQIPs? Primarily those that are blurry, my brain wants to figure out what the picture is, even before I recognize it's an LQIP, which is strainin

I'm sorry but what on earth is going on with that bar chart, the bars are not consistent. E.g., in the frontierscience-olympiad chart Hy3 preview scores the same as DeepSeek (70.0) but Hy3 preview's bar is visibly lower.

Your anecdote just illustrates that their system detects legit uses as abuses, not that they have a system that effectively detects abuses.

Any other researchers paranoid of using LLMs for fear of them using your data and front running your publications/work? Or incorporating it in training data and then spitting it out to a competing lab?

right, which means the software is less useful and as such you might not want to use it. Plenty of software like that listed on repositories, which I think is fine.

Yah that's where I stand on it. The message isn't harmful or hateful, it dares only make a political statement.

I've long considered getting a netbook, slapping freedos on it and running WordStar or WordPerfect as a writing deck. I'm not sure how I would get my files I create off the device since USB support isn't really a thing.

I started with Karamazov, then C&P, then the Idiot. I loved excerpts of Karamazov (The Grand Inquisitor, Dimitry's troika ride, any passage with Grushenka) but I also found it rough to get through. I really don't think I was u
