A classic satirical SF short story from Stanislaw Lem, containing a satirical look at AI, sexbots, and transhumanism.

I did something very similar last year, but with programming languages that were REALLY out of distribution; they were generated specifically for the benchmark. I call it TiānshūBench (天书Bench): https://jeepytea.github.io/ge

Historically, the cycle has been requirements -> code -> test, but with coding becoming much faster, the bottlenecks have changed. That's one of the reasons I've been working on Spark Runner to help automate testing for web

I've recently found that my ability to add new features and squash bugs has outpaced my ability to do full end-to-end tests. To help with this, I created Spark Runner for automated website testing. It will create and execute a plan fo

Lisp has been around for 65 years (not 50 as in the author believes), and is one of the very first high-level programming languages. If it was as great as its advocates say, surely it would have taken over the world by now. But it hasn&#x27

For my benchmarking suite, it turns out that it's about 1/5 the price of Claude Sonnet 4.1, with roughly comparable results.

If you're looking for free API access, Google offers access to Gemini for free, including for gemini-2.5-pro with thinking turned on. The limit is... quite high, as I'm running some benchmarking and haven't hit the limit yet.

This has been available (20b version, I'm guessing) for the past couple of days as "Horizon Alpha" on Openrouter. My benchmarking runs with TianshuBench for coding and fluid intelligence were rate limited, but the initial res

Current AI systems don't have a great ability to take instructions or information about the state of the world and produce new output based upon that. Benchmarks that emphasize this ability help greatly in progress toward AGI.

Yes, it would be fantastic to have more languages to test off of. I picked the base language I did (Mamba) because it was easy to modify and integrate into Python.

Generating the problems: I just thought up a few simple things that the computer might be able to do. In the future, I hope to expand to more complex problems, based upon common business situations: reading CSVs, parsing data, etc. I'l

I find that these books have to be read by the right person at the right time. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill did nothing for me when I first was exposed to it, but later on, helped me greatly. BTW, the business book that helped me th

> Another on that really irritates me is the kind that presents a series of integers and asks which integer comes next. Any integer will do, you just have to fit the appropriate polynomial. This one bugs me to no end because it's pa

I've been slowly working my way through this book for the past couple months. It's been amazingly helpful in learning all of the deep learning terminology, and giving a good overview of the technology. I was doing all of the examp

Slop has been around a while. I was researching a topic, and noticed that most of the top search results had the same misunderstanding of some of the definitions. The writers were clearly not familiar with the topic, and I'm sure they

I met Marc Thorpe back in 1995 and saw some of the Robot Wars highlight videos he was using to promote the event. My life was never the same after that.
