To me, the surprise is the other way around: why does a probabilistic process result in such a deterministic result? Not just for ChatGPT, but also for others (see my other comment)?

Got 17 too, with Opus 5, Sonnet 5, GPT5.6 Terra, and Deepsek v4 pro. So it must be the right answer.

I wasn’t so lucky with my attempt for a Windows 11 driver for an old emaguc MT4 MIDI interface. It works on Macs, but no longer on PCs. Claude worked for a while and then spun itself into a loop of making a mistake, correcting it, then maki

Nice. Reminds me of Apple's OpenDoc (which seemed promising at the time, but a bit incomplete, and then discontinued when Jobs came back to Apple). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDoc

I‘ve seen reports of markdown-tags (##) flipping a pangram result from human to machine (with human written text). But I don’t have a license to confirm.

Good to see more developments in this space. I quite like this service, which is a little further than Hetzner and has several models to choose from: https://www.infomaniak.com/en/hosting/ai-services

This is great and it makes me wonder why the algorithm isn’t standard for browsers as a built-in feature (also for word processors). Sure, it takes a bit longer, but LaTeX pretty much instantly produces a PDF nowadays even for long document

I have seen a local theater advertising 70mm dual projection (but not mentioning IMAX) and another one IMAX. Will there be a difference?

This looks like a custom Airtag which is great — but I cannot find where it exfiltrates data from an air-gapped system. What did I overlook?
