The browser it built, obviously the context window of the entire project is huge. They mention loads of parallel agents in the blog post, so I guess each agent is given a module to work on, and some tests? And then a 'manager' age

It seems to be like some of the scales slightly off? If you are looking at the ladybird (ladybug) with the amoeba to the left, the amoeba isn't an order of the magnitude smaller - it would actually be visible by the human eye (bigger t

Nice! What might be a nice lesser 'clue' to simply revealing a word is highlighting letter(s) on the board that are part of it? Favouring maybe highlighting letters that are contiguous with a blue bit?

Have you not seen some of the replies at the link? For example: "You are joking ?! The commit about source only is 4 days old (9e49d5e) We are currently paying for a license while using the open source version, you already removed the

Are you me? Exact same! The problem with dual monitors is either you're sat in front of the gap, or you need to pivot. This way you get a 'normal' monitor and a portrait section to the side, much better.

Why does that link say the current director of public prosecutions is Sir Kier Starmer? It's hard to take it seriously.

$49 seems a surprisingly high amount for something aimed at students and learners - I appreciate the content may be good, but it's effectively 3 times a Netflix subscription. It's meant to be something you stick with in the "

I don't think there's any question about the "probably" - I'm not that involved in the community but the subreddit makes it sound totally disharmonious.

"There are far fewer East Asian CEOs in the Fortune 500, and most of them are the founders of their companies like Jensen Huang (Nvidia), Tony Xu (DoorDash), Lisa Su (AMD)" Lisa Su only joined AMD in 2012?

I think they could release non-agentic models that are as good as 4o, and have almost no repercussions on sales tbh. I have Ollama installed (only a small proportion of their clients would have a large enough GPU for this) and have download

Yeah but because it's a GitHub repo is has an inherent audit trail for that, so it's not really erasing misdeeds... indeed it highlights those people in diffs!

At the bottom it references a GitHub where people have previously added signatures against Jon Pretty - and now the maintainer says "NOTE: This repo is closed. Do not open issues; they will be summarily closed and ignored." - i.e.

64 GB of RAM which is addressable by a GPU is exceptional for a laptop - this is not just system RAM.

No but 64 GB of unified memory provides almost as much GPU RAM capacity as two RTX 5090s (only less due to the unified nature) - top of the range GPUs - so it's a truly exceptional laptop in this regard.

I don't think you know what "cringe" means... this really makes you cringe? And they didn't say it was crazy, they said it was interesting enough to raise eyebrows. Everyone knows there are amazing coders in hedge funds

I don’t understand how this works with systems like toothpaste? I get if you somehow stored your toothpaste in some queue-like structure where you only see 1 at a time, then yes, reaching the last would be helpful. But surely they are in a

I was excited about JAX, but I think the developers missed a trick when they decided it should be entirely immutable. It sounds silly, but I think if I have an array `x` and want to set index 0 to 10, it's a big mistake if I can't

I like opencv, but can there be a stretch goal where if they raise $1M they agree to move from Blue/Green/Red colour channel order by default to RGB in OpenCV5, like everyone else on planet earth? I genuinely avoid opencv for thi

The problem is the discussed results are comparing proportions of a relatively small number - 67 questions. If you model this as a binomial distribution, then 62/67 which GPT4-turbo got gives a 95% confidence interval of the 'tru

One thing I always wonder is how did all these countries manage to find enough gold to run an (albeit tiny) economy off them? I've never heard of/seen a gold mine in the UK, and yet 2000 years ago they were mining enough to mint

I think JAX is cool, but I do find it slightly disingenuous when it claims to be "numpy by on the GPU" (as opposed to PyTorch), when actually there's a fundamental difference; it's functional. So if I have an array `x`

You can see regularly in practice where aggressive data augmentation is used, which obviously is only used on training data. But, of course, you'd still be 'overfit' if you fed in unaugmented training data.
