August 12 is the next total solar eclipse! Predictive Science builds large 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations, basically predicting the weather on the sun. This lets them predict magnetic field events that can affect earth and satelli

Wow- the entire Point Loma area pretty much looks the same as it does today. Too bad they didn't drive down Newport to see Hodad's. Torrey Pines area definitely looks the most different, mostly because of the growth of UCSD I'

That one is a bit sus to me, because the models that do the worst on Omniscience Accuracy do the best on non-hallucination. The top model for this benchmark is "MiniCPM5-1B (Non-reasoning)" which gets a whopping 99% vs 45% for Fab

Most of those inference providers are American, and China is actually at a disadvantage here because of export restrictions - US companies are using newer and more efficient chips.

This should erase any doubt that AI Labs are making $$$ on API inference. Kimi 2.5 (which this is based on) is served at $0.44 input / $2 output by a ton of different providers on OpenRouter, 2.6 will certainly be similar. That's

I'm running it for the first time and this is what the thinking looks like. Opus seems highly concerned about whether or not I'm asking it to develop malware. > This is _, not malware. Continuing the brainstorming process. >

When I set up a Mac I have a short list of things that I need to install. When I set up Windows I have a much longer list of things that I need to un-install. I much prefer the former.

iStat menus (or the new open source "Stats") is a brilliant use of the menu bar, but it can take a lot of space! Then couple ordinary services that add menu bar icons that you don't even ask for (DropBox, Docker, Adobe, etc.)

Every time I get a new Mac, I run these commands to reduce the spacing between menu bar icons. Lets you fit at least 2x the number of items in the menu bar. ``` defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain NSStatusItemSpacing -int 2 defaults -

This is exactly the case today. Multimodal LLMs like gpt-4o-transcribe are way better than traditional ASR, not only because of deeper understanding but because of the ability to actually prompt it with your company's specific terminol

I created Voibe which takes a slightly different direction and uses gpt-4o-transcribe with a configurable custom prompt to achieve maximum accuracy (much better than Whisper). Requires your own OpenAI API key. https://github.com&

Very interesting! Do the benchmarks hold up well or does it reduce performance in other areas too?

Do you mean like structured outputs? Unfortunately here the model is guided to explicitly tell you when you violate the rules and why, it can confuse it's system rules with the game rules and say you're not allowed to ask a questi

The performance is great, but the censorship is ridiculous for me. I tried it as a backend for my game Guessix[1], but it would refuse for ridiculous reasons like "Cannot answer questions about copyrighted works like Harry Potter."

I've tried this with a few models in the past, and Suno v4.5 is the first to produce decent results! Enjoy the educational rap.
