The task the majority of people here care about (and which makes up a huge part of AI lab revenue these days) is collaborative coding with a single human which is not embarrassingly parallel.

The interesting part should be the page that lets you see the "labels" applied to your posts and/or account. Unfortunately not available yet.

It's funny that they don't mention this at all in the marketing or tech specs when it's obviously the biggest selling point by far. Without this it would be completely irrelevant. Worth noting that OpenAI just announced that

Clearly this model will be irrelevant by Jan. 2027, why would Google even bother to say this?

This is why Pebble watches are great. They do the basics better than Google and leave out the expensive battery drains.

Researchers moving between companies (and other ways that techniques get leaked) is the largest cause of this IMO. It's happening continuously, so I don't see why the timing makes it implausible. A really underrated strength of Si

I haven't experienced a regression, but voice modes have always been stupider than frontier models. In my experience Grok's voice mode suffers the least from this, and it's been getting better over time. It's especially

I feel justified in not expending any effort learning "prompting technique".

I wonder if Jarred (the Bun guy) just got lucky here, or if he made progress before all the actual mathematicians at Anthropic because they aren't prompting Claude as ambitiously as he is.

The study compares people who actually started GLP-1 treatment to people who say they want to but didn't. It sure seems to me like people who say they want something but don't take action to get it would also be less likely to get

This is a bit weird, but I started getting mild wrist pain from computer use in college, and I credit two things with reversing it. One was rock climbing which strengthened my forearms and wrists, and the other was developing a habit of cra

OK? Maybe DeepSeek set their price that way, but the majority of these OpenRouter inference providers are in the US, not China, and have no reason to care about CNY at all.

Many occupations have been made obsolete throughout history, and this article examines none of them. I'm not sympathetic to "this time it's different", I think people are just too lazy to try to find out what actually ha

This would be more convincing if those providers had converged on a number that was not the exact pricing of DeepSeek themselves. Clearly DeepSeek is setting the price here and without them holding it down I expect increases.

DeepSeek has announced an upcoming "significant increase" in price, so this line may have to move to the right soon. https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing/

Obviously not based on DNA/RNA. I think it is pretty lacking in imagination to believe that DNA/RNA in liquid water is the only possible configuration of atoms that could make a self-replicating and evolving organism.

I wonder if we will ever discover life inside stars. There's definitely complex stuff going on in there.

Twitter was famously unreliable for practically its entire existence. Don't remember the "fail whale?"

X has the best tools for managing your feed of any social network. "Mute words" is a godsend and can practically eliminate any topic you hate (politics of course). The Following tab can give you the exact reverse chronological vie

Agreed, we have probably seen only the tip of the iceberg on that. I wouldn't want to be holding niche crypto coins right now.

I don't really find the "because it's difficult" arguments convincing at all. Especially the one claiming it's hard because it requires designing and running a large number of tests and reasoning about the results o

Apple leaks like a sieve. The extreme secrecy culture is a pointless drag on productivity, maintained long past its usefulness for the sole benefit of the execs practicing their Steve Jobs "one more thing" keynote cargo cult.

Oh yeah the estimation problems are terrible. The probability ones are at least notionally trying to test your math skills. But still pretty far from being relevant in almost all cases.

That's why the problem statement specifies that the bowling ball sinks.

Most things that can fairly be described as a "small dip" should decrease travel time. When I was presented with the problem it came with illustrations to clarify. Surprisingly hard to make it watertight with text alone.

Once long ago when I interviewed at Apple I was asked the classic "fork in the road, two guys, one always tells the truth and one always lies" riddle, with complete earnestness as far as I could tell. Possibly the single worst int
