I hope this puts more pressure to extend the software life-span.

Saw the DOOM raycast demo at bottom of page. Can't wait for someone to build a DOOM that runs entirely on GPU!

User: Hey AI, turn off my Mac AI: (after 10 minutes of deep reasoning) Ah! I found the solution. I need to cause a power surge in the grid to power off your device.

Google's ML team really nailed it. There are lots hand/head/eye tracking demos made with mediapipe. I recommend checking out The Poet Engineer: https://x.com/poetengineer__

No AI is appealing but there is the cliff problem. If there is one small thing the mini language can't handle, the user would have no chance solving it themselves. They might as well start with an LLM solution first. One workaround is

Is it possible that the coffee drinkers have more social interaction with the barista and others? It's unclear from the paper if they eliminated the confounding factors around coffee drinking.

Everyone asks, what does the fox say, no one cares how the fox feels. Thank you Mozilla, now we know the fox feels like open source.

IMHO, parallel tasks across multiple repos is not as useful as parallel tasks in one repo.

Not all is lost: AI can still be acronym for Apple Intelligence.

I had a similar thought, feature not bug. The nature of programming might have to shift to embrace the material property of LLM. It could become a more interpretative, social, and discovery-based activity. Maybe that's what "vibe

Most programmers don't understand the low level assembly or machine code. High level language becomes the layer where human comprehension and collaboration happens. LLM is pushing that layer towards natural language and spec-driven dev

This piece reminds me of another article musing on the necessity of manual memory: https://numinous.productions/ttft/#how-important-is-memory . That article articulated the reason slightly differently, arguing you need

I think the router applies to chatgpt app. The developer APIs expose manual control to select the specific model and level of reasoning.

Thanks for calling this out. Yes, agree. I should revise my understanding of plagiarism.

To be fair, the blog has a "Source: NASA" link near the beginning.

Can confirm that they are rolling out. It's working for me.

I find it strange that GPT-5 is cheaper than GPT-4.1 in input token and is only slightly more expensive in output token. Is it marketing or actually reflecting the underlying compute resources?

Tried using gpt-5 family with response API and got error "gpt-5 does not exist or you don't have access to it". I guess they are not rolling out in lock step with the live stream and blog article?

The ability to specify a context-free grammar as output constraint? This blows my mind. How do you control the auto regressive sampling to guarantee the correct syntax?
