Sounds like it might not have been fully fixed after 2023 then.

Other than the fact it's mathematicians signing it, why is mathematics special in this regard: surely this generally applies to a lot of different industries and sectors of research / academia? Mathematics is being used as a bench

It's wider though, and surely going to weigh more...

I wish they'd alternate each year or something between iPhone / iPhone mini if they're struggling for sales. The body shapes and cases seem to change each year anyway now, so it's not like people get to re-use cases that

Same, got battery replaced 5 months ago. Wish I'd got the biggest storage size when I bought it though :(

Where are you seeing them having an issue with the larger (Pro) model? The announcement specifically says 4.1 Pro will be released in the future.

I've had this for a few months trying to log into https://console.vultr.com/ ... It does it for me if I use a VPN (Mullvad) - if I don't use a VPN then I haven't noticed I get them. But yeah, very annoying.

Block 4's still an absolute shit-show in terms of management and progress...

It's not even that though if we are going to be nit-picky: it's a coordinate (not quite sure what the pixel extent would subtend to solid-angle-wise, but...) based off the coordinate frame of where the space telescope will be whe

Title doesn't match submission: it's not really a "coordinate" in 3D space, you "adopt" a pixel from the early imagery taken by the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Maybe that can be reverse-projected back to

Hermes' Github has 12K open issues and 25K pull requests. I assume they're using agents to sort through all the slop?

Looks okay to me. The first column has both the Hy4 and Hy3 scores overlaid on one another (Hy4 is darker blue and the taller one), with both scores written below the top of the respective bar - maybe you're seeing that?

Too sloppy, didn't read.

Yes, but come on... That's due to the need for ultra-fast memory and inference compute, it's not the same thing.

Is that the same as storing state in a DB and on a filesystem though? Like, I get there are other features they have, and things like history, but I don't think it's quite the same. Isn't most (not all) of the LLM's reso

As someone typing this on an M1 Mac with 32 GB of RAM who tried using 3.8 27B (Q4_K_M) yesterday in both LM Studio and llama.cpp, I wouldn't call it particularly usable in terms of token speed. (and that was with `--spec-type draft-mtp

I heard on the "China Talk" podcast talking about China and exports of open weight models they often do this because under Chinese law, they have to submit each new public model release to a government department for "validat

I've found Pro to be a lot better per "task" than the recently released Flash for code reviews and things (via OpenRouter running in pi.dev). Flash makes a lot more initial mistakes, and then has to re-check stuff, and produc

You could convert ~800 lines of scalar float processing templated C++ code that used mixins for wrapping logic and float/double to well-optimised SIMD code for two different ISAs (without using wrapper class helpers, it wrote the full

It's an example of useful work. 11 years ago, I would have been able to use that code in production for the company I worked at at the time, and the conversion would have been very useful. I'm also using Github Copilot at work, bu

The tests and notebooks maybe: not the unrolling and re-architecting to use masking SIMD-ification. I used to do SIMD stuff a lot over the last 17 years, and it would have taken me probably a day to do that (convert 7 algorithms, all with s

I had DeepSeek 4 Pro do a very good job yesterday of loop-unrolling and SIMD-ifying (both SSE/AVX and ARM Neon versions) some very old scalar Col3f image processing and resampling/resizing C++ code I hadn't touched in 12 year

> Live performance revenue reached $329 million, well above pre-Covid levels. Is that inflation-adjusted? And as the article points out, very little of that is local talent, so it's likely some of that's due to the cost of tick

Those still have to be rasterised to a pixel-based frame buffer at render/compositing time.

Yeah, even in like 1996/1997 for certain industries there were hints as to the way things were going, even if it took 4/5 years for the transition to fully take place. For example, in 1996/1997, Digital Domain (VFX industry)

Well, to some extent you might be able to argue they're "just" brute-forcing things (especially with unlimited tokens and hours to spend on a task), but they obviously have detailed knowledge to guide them in their attempts,
