I was anticipating that having AI write code to pass tests (human and/or AI written tests) would be worthwhile, but in practice, I've found that even models such as Opus 4.6 Thinking, High Effort simply "cheats", or rath

Isn't a rather good deal of color from feathers a result of "structural color", rather than pigmentation? I'd be curious if fossilized feathers could ever, in theory, preserve enough microscopic detail to guess at that.

Maybe it's just me, but this "We have to fudge the truth because nuance would support the alt-right" business just seems to drive a bigger wedge into the political divide than would just being reasonable. Folks closer to cent

Following similar thinking, there's no world in which AI becomes exactly capable of replacing all software developers and then stops there, miraculously saving the jobs of everyone else next to and above them in the corporate hierarchy

If that's in line with the patient's wishes, cool. Otherwise, not so cool, both for the act of killing someone and for undermining the arguments in favor of legal euthanasia.

We can barely afford 5 dimensions with our current operating budget, and it's just not going to scale, I'm afraid. Saddle up boys, I'm proposing we draw them on a _hyperbolic plane_. Two dimensions, fits on a coffee table, ro

Acknowledging that my own reading of the situation may be flawed, I'd though the situation was that pigs on average are better at sniffing out truffles, but dogs are the better truffle hunters on account of being "good enough"

I'd go so far as to liken it to a series of memory wipes between age 3 to 4. Memory otherwise appears to function quite fine, from day to day and year to year, but then large blocks all vanish in rapid succession. Also interesting, as
