My bet is that OpenRouter began steering GPT-5.6-sol users towards flex tier, which is already 50% off. So this isn’t really a price cut. As to why, lots of possible reasons. Perhaps an agreement with OpenAI to help them drive up more diver

CSAM, and other harms, are typically detected using a set of specially trained, faster and cheaper models (and out of band matching techniques) that run before and after the main model. Any mention in the system prompt is mostly defense in

Is it really that unusual? When you attach an image or a video, it gets converted to tokens you don’t see, at a rate that is proprietary to the model. You pay for those tokens, but don’t see them. Even how text is converted to tokens is a p

Demoiselle crane flies over Himalayas and over Everest during its yearly migration, so it'd be flying at least 30k feet high. I only know that from Planet Earth documentary, which was such a great show!

Unless I screwed up the math, they would be quarter of a light year apart. Plenty of space for each black hole to form its own accretion disk.

Kepler’s laws should still provide a pretty good estimate, at least until black holes get much closer. I did a quick back of the envelope calculation, and looks like they’ll be roughly 14k astronomical units, or 0.22 light years apart.

1604. One could say we are overdue. I’m not sure about dust or other obstacles blocking it, but based on brightness alone a supernova in our galaxy should be visible with naked eye.

It would be. Which is why any pair of orbiting bodies will eventually collide. It’s just that for black holes this effect is insignificant (a merger would take much longer than the age of the Universe) until they get close to each other, mu

The potential to detect Supermassive Black Hole mergers is one of the reasons I'm really excited about the LISA project [1], and hope it actually gets funded and doesn't delay too much. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

In quantum mechanics, bosons are (often massless) force carrying particles like photons or gluons. Fermions are the massive matter particles, such as electrons or quarks. So, while I’ve never heard this saying before, I assume it’s meaning

The article didn’t mention this, but don’t u128s get mapped to SSE2 registers on most modern x86_64 processors, and not regular 64-bit ones?

That’s a pretty pedantic interpretation of the word application. In the context of software owned by most teams, that they may decide to run on single vs multiple hosts most applications are absolutely stateless. Most applications outsource

Totally. But most applications are not stateful.

If you have the ability to spin up a new machine when the old one fails, and deploy your app onto it in one minute, it’s not a big leap to also run your app on two machines and avoid that downtime altogether.

Almost every modern router in a multipath network peeks at the next layer to implement flow hashing correctly.

One of the biggest misses with IP fragmentation was not requiring each fragment to carry the higher protocol header. Or at least do that for UDP. That decision alone would’ve made fragments so much simpler on network devices and appliances,

That would effectively kill software patents. Which is a fine outcome.

The absolute performance isn't very important for the stock price. What matters way more is the performance vis-a-vis market expectations. So in this case, the market was expecting something better (or there was some other guidance in

This is a good example of the type of challenges you face as an author of widely used library. I can see a lot of scenarios where an optimization like this would bring benefits. But there are also many where it would hurt performance (not t

I think Apple is fully capable of getting there too. They have a high enough price point, and a loyal enough customer base, that even if getting there required additional hardware or shipping with more RAM by default, they could make it wor

I think one of the most desirable and under-appreciated goals of schema languages and serialization formats is safety. These tools are typically used in places that deal with untrusted inputs, and features and design choices can go a long w

There is a huge difference between running infrastructure on behalf of a single, well-intentioned business and running infrastructure that needs to deal with high density, adversarial multi-tenancy. Not saying they can’t do it if they reall
