Just posting to say everything is fine. It works to report this way too, via .NET maintainers. It is very common to do this as well. https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/117233#issuecomment... You’re quot

The only problem is that the generated comics have typos and seem to make little sense.. They’re just kind of setting up a story? Edit: Oh, I missed the choose your adventure aspect to them, so what’s on the front page are just samples of w

This is the first time I’ve seen HDR used to refer to wider color spaces and not extended brightness and contrast ratios.

Yeah it’s really annoying how opaque they are about the model there. Always just ”GPT 4 based” or ”GPT 4o based” if you dig in their blog archives. Makes one unable to check it against benchmarks or see when it’s updated. Setting expectatio

And yet, there are some notable differences between them, so now that there’s a benchmark and attention given to this issue, I wonder how much better they can get. Because obviously something can be done.

Before that, you might ask ChatGPT to create a vector image of a pelican riding a bicycle and then running the output through a PNG to SVG converter... Result: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8b03yu5v58w0o5he1zayh&#

Ugh, now I want to pick up F# again. I like and identify with many points about Haskell but F# fits like a glove for our ecosystem here.

Until now with a far better telescope able to significantly improve the sample size, that is. Ugh, this is so frustrating. We know our current theories cannot be complete but the LHC has mostly just confirmed assumptions, and now this. Ever

This is my feeling too, across the board. Nowadays, benchmark wins seem to come from tuning, but then causing losses in other areas. o3, o4-mini also hallucinates more than o1 in SimpleQA, PersonQA. Synthetic data seems to cause higher hall

Why would you not link against the UCRT if you’re intentionally designing for Win32 though? It’s a decade old library by now. Time flies…

Ooh, it’s the ”softening the blow ahead of dramatic and expected to be highly controversial changes” writeup! I think many have seen the writing on the wall, and it’s too bad. We love AI as SO replacers today, as they have an unprecedented

I’ve seen benchs on hallucinations and OpenAI has typically performed worse than Google and Anthropic models. Sometimes significantly so. But it doesn’t seem like they have cared much. I’ve suspected that LLM performance is correlated to ri

We better not only use these to burn the last, flawed model, but try these again with the new. I have a hunch the new one won’t be very resilient either against ”positive vibe coercion” where you are excited and looking for validation in mo

Yeah, it's a funny take because this is in fact a more advanced form of AI with autonomous tool use that is just now emerging in 2025. You might say "They could search the web in 2024 too" but that wasn't autonomous on i

Red flag nowadays is when a blog post tries to judge whether AI is AGI. Because these goal posts are constantly moving and there is no agreed upon benchmark to meet. More often than not, they reason why exactly something is not AGI yet from

I think since Windows 7, it has been very solid except for maybe third party kernel driver issues which needs direct kernel access out of necessity. Today when you have a BSOD, it’s like a Linux, Mach kernel panic etc - 99% likely to be a h

True, probably pretty feature complete after all these years although a pretty major lacking feature for any serious use is no UNC path support.

AI as we know it (GPT based LLM’s) have peaked. OpenAI noticed this sometime autumn last year when would-be GPT-5 was unimpressive despite the huge size. I still think ChatGPT 4.5 was GPT-5, just rebranded to set expectations. Google Gemini
