I was picturing one-shot performance only for the benchmark, on novel real world tasks. I.e. the score on the March Olympiad you got in April isn't relevant. Simple enough that anyone could run it with a regular subscription. Really un

I think an Olympiad format is better. But the financial incentive is such that it might be near impossible to stop leaks. I.e. A panel comes up with a series of problems. Like advent of code or project Euler but more complex and constricted

I think you just pitched a Robot Wars revival for 2026.

I think on HN atleast. People enamoured by Claude are the vocal majority. The view of Claude on HN is extremely positive and nearly every thread will have highly positive comment "that is not an ad". I think people are seeing othe

They are an interesting prospect but their use isn't quite as claimed. They are extremely vulnerable to the same drones humans are. It's more along the lines of this is a patch were not expecting active fighting this robot can act

I love this but the licensing is ashame. Does the NC in CC4.0 BY-NC-SA mean I couldn't for example sell a device using this? What fustrates me about this is that it's such a narrow workspace, if I decided I wanted a 5x5 font there

That's very true, but the metric is applied to all medications you compare against that's what's important. You also just get a baseline idea of what's good by guessing what you'd accept. Episodic tension type heada

Very interesting though that the original article makes no comment on efficacy. It's all about metabolic safety which is not contentious.

I end up using paracetamol often for pain because it's what's to hand. What annoys me is that so many people have your experience and are effectively gaslit about the fact it seems to often perform so poorly.

You will indeed find various figures for various pain types all are far worse than ibuprofen. Here is an example from the Cochrane library > For the IHS preferred outcome of being pain free at two hours the NNT for paracetamol 1000 mg co

Here is a summary of COCHRANE evidence on Paracetamol "widely used and ineffective"[0]. It's a paradox no? Paracetamol is only the presumed only active metabolite, and that is why paracetamol rapidly replaced phenacetin. Ther

You're partially right compared to placebo only about 5% of people are painfree over the effect of a placebo when taking paracetamol. Paracetamol got it's start as replacing the more effective but much more dangerous and withdrawn

Ibuprofen is better are reducing fever and managing headaches. Paracetamol is the safer version Phenacetin. You used to be able to buy aspirin, phenacetin and caffeine..but phenacetin with withdrawn. APC when it was marketed was very popula

Hear HN tell of it, Claude pays for itself 3× over. Something tells me congitively it's making us misjudge how productive it's making us. It's clearly massively increasing output, but did the market already soak up all that p

"wrong orbit" is an interesting phrase. Do they just mean it's got enough energy to complete some orbits but will decay. In the sense that if my car breaks down on the way to the grand canyon it took me to the wrong destinati

It's because they are heurists intended to be applied by knowledgeable and experienced humans. It can be quite hard to explain when a student asks why you did something a particular way. The truthful answer is that it felt like the rig

I accept that all the providers will do what I would consider unethical with my data and simply don't expose what I don't consider a price of doing the business I want. The other criticism I see is "ask it what happened in 19

Consider Z.ai if you need "bulk" usage, GLM is now very good. They still have the occasional API brown out however. I used to use GLM mostly and had a Claude Pro subscription for occasional review and clean up. Now I just use GLM.

Thanks for sharing! (Sorry the following is written before I realised you posted your own blog post!) It does seem like a trap, although you might nit have had the raw technical skills for the job they applied (by the way why wasn't he

If you've not seen Common People Black Mirror episode I strongly recommend it. The only misprediction it makes is that AI is creating the brain dead user base... You have to hook your customers before you reel them in! https:/&#x

Maybe it's a Baader-Meinhoff phenomena and even a small difference in frequency feels overwhelming because you can't help but notice when it happens without noticing when it doesn't occur.

I think what irritates people is that there isn't a natural variation to whatever pattern it uses. And I don't really know why both patterns don't appear equally. Intuitively I just can't grasp how it can be so selective

I believe that mitochondria and chloroplast both were originally independent single celled organisms. So kind of funny that, chloroplast is being "stolen" again by this sea slug.

I'm in a similar age bracket. Here is some research around the alcohol effect. What I found most surprising is the mean consumption was over 80g, since 8g of ethanol is a unit that's an astonishing mean of 10units. I was of the im
