seems pretty short-sighted - "our models are so good that even our competitors use them for the most advanced tasks" is pretty powerful marketing

yeah, I have been amazed at what I could do for free, and then amazed at how much more powerful it got for 5 bucks a months. Cloudflare is killing it in terms of value for small websites (and features and reliability).

I haven't tried asking it in Hangul but these particular artists (and the photos I'm using actually) are linked to their romanized english names on e.g. Fandom so it's not unfindable on the internet

3.7 flash was by far the best model for image recognition tasks according to my benchmarks. 3.8 flash didn't regress any candidates and improved some specificity (positive ID of common name vs species name of exotic fruit, correct iden

My benchmark is tiny compared to WorldVQA or FG-BMK, which are available, so I'd point you in that direction if you're interested in a VLM benchmark. My use-case isn't exactly captioning as in "what is in this image?&quo

I just ran my image recognition benchmark on it ("is this XXX public landmark"?) and it misses a lot that bytedance seed 2.1 turbo gets right; for example: Asked "Is this Salisbury Cathedral" and supplied a picture of We

the only thing that still kind of annoys me is constantly being told what something is not, but even that statement is load-bearing (see what I did there) because it records how it ended up with this decision, because it's not that oth

I don't know that much about math but I've read that one possibility is he had found a valid proof for n=4 and assumed that it generalized. Hopefully someone else who knows more about the subject chimes in!

There’s no particular reason it’s not OSS, but my main interest is collecting a lot of data on different athletes and publishing original research. Most weightlifting studies are small n and over a short amount of time. My particular intere

I wrote this app as a SPA! It uses a curve formulation similar to Brzycki, except I added a “shape” parameter (an exponent gamma between 0 and 1) that slopes the 1rm downwards at the right side. My main finding for “pick whatever weight you

not everyone who can think and solve interesting problems can write prose well, but there's still a lot of complaining about AI-generated text.

Don't pay too much attention to the naysayers if they don't have constructive advice to offer (but do try to collect what signal you can from the noise). There are a lot of people who viscerally hate AI for a ton of different reas

it interleaves the end note in the text at the point where the endnote is referenced (by number), reads the endnote, and then sounds a bell to indicate that we've returned to the main text. Sometimes endnotes reference other endnotes a

I visited this and several other Gaudi buildings about 15 years ago in Barcelona, and many of them are truly breathtaking, or at least dramatically original and unique. I went to the Gaudi museum as well and found it fascinating that the ar

It’s definitely got AI tells, and I understand the objection - it’s hard to tell the difference between slop (written without review or direction, meant to fill space or present a simulacra of information) and actual informational content.

It’s time for people who understand how to use AI to stop trying to convince people who don’t. Let them churn their own butter, weave their own clothes, and type out their programs one character at a time. It’s what they want.

Try the audiobook, although I’m sure purists would consider it cheating. You can zone out and it keeps going and something will pull your attention and you can rewind to get the context.

Do you consider it humanitarian to further weaken a nation where the average gdp per capita is less than $3000 and who are in no way a threat to us? In what way do the immigrants arriving from there improve America? Can you give a coherent
