That was how I took most of my school and university exams. I hated it then and I'd hate it now. For humanities, at least, it felt like a test of who could write the fastest (one which I fared well at, too, so it's not case of sou

I didn't look too close but it wouldn't surprise me if this was intentional. Many of these Meta/Facebook projects don't have open licenses so they never graduate from web demos. Their voice cloning model was the same.

I took "kids" more to mean they're inexperienced at building sovereign data centres.

I wasn't actually able to use it because the servers were overloaded. What exactly impressed you (or more generally, what does it actually let you do at the moment?).

I'm sure Sam A will be fine, an IPO will probably see him ride off into the sunset with billions. The average public investor buying pre-IPO shares, though, is a different story.

I don’t know the exact numbers, but I feel like OpenAI raised far more money than those companies, burned through it far quicker and has much more competition with a much shakier value proposition. They definitely have a strong consumer bra

Yes, quantization isn't anything new, nor are audio codecs. As you point out, though, it's not just about designing a quantization scheme to reconstruct an analog signal. The scheme itself needs to be "easy" for current

The article is talking about doing exactly that. The key question is how to convert an inherently continuous signal (speech/audio) into a discrete set of tokens. A single window of audio is usually somewhere between 10ms and 100ms. It&

Overall I'm quite positive towards core Cloudflare products like Tunnels, Workers, R2, KV etc, but a lot of newer products are often either thoroughly broken (e.g. Cloudflare AI) or unusable due to insufficient documentation (e.g. Emai

Ubank in Australia just told me they’re retiring their website in a few months, the app will be the only way to access your account. It’s digital only, so no real world branches either.

Feels very much like a knee-jerk response to Facebook releasing their "Vibes" app the week before. It's basically the same thing, OpenAI are probably willing to light a pile of money on fire to take the wind out of their sail

Dart transpiles to Javascript already - not exactly native support, but practically the next best thing. That being said, I'm also 100% behind the effort to standardize WASM as the cross-platform compilation target of choice.

Why do you say they are different models? I've been looking at this today and haven't seen anything explicitly state that.

A dollar is always a dollar, so it's hard to claim that $1 million in revenue is actually worth $10 million. OpenAI shares, on the other hand, aren't publicly traded, so it's much easier to claim they're worth $10 millio

Were there many competitors to YouTube though? I remember Vimeo (still around) and Google Video (replaced by YouTube), but not much else. Between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Facebook, xai, Microsoft, Mistral, Alibaba, DeepSeek, z.ai, Falcon,

Filament is a great lightweight cross-platform PBR rendering library. There's a few things missing (real GPU instancing is one), but in terms of shadows/antialiasing/color grading, it's very powerful. The material (shade

Didn't they almost go broke after the Wii U? I vaguely remember that the Switch was do-or-die for them.

I've had similarly good experiences with GLM-4.5 for smaller projects/requests. Unfortunately that did degrade with larger contexts, so I'm still treating it as a good fallback for Sonnet 4, rather than a full-blown replaceme

I know I’m the odd one out, but I really don’t find Bluey that wholesome (with the exception of two episodes - the rain one and the Bingo sleeping/space one, which I do think are fantastic). The others are very frenetic - it feels like

She didn't touch on how visually captivating the colour scheme is for kids. It's unsettling just how much it draws their attention, it's like a drug. It's also (partly) why I prefer Peppa Pig for my 3 year old, it's

I found Gemini CLI to be totally useless too. Last week I tried Claude Code with GLM4.5 (via z.ai API), though, and it was genuinely on par with Sonnet.

I think the problem was that you were forced to learn formal grammar, not that you were forced to read Huck Finn.

Millions of people are using (and paying for) LLMs for their daily work. The number of people using crypto as an actual currency is a rounding error by comparison. There's definitely similarities when it comes to the wave of hype and g
