This reminds me of elevator saga ( https://play.elevatorsaga.com/ ) - little programming game where you have to program elevator schedules.

This works if only 'trusted' actors have access to frontier class models that can search for vulnerabilities. With a near-frontier model available with open weights then attackers will be able to do plenty of damage even with &#x2

The CursorBench plot, for example, shows that fable does have slightly better performance, but Opus is pretty close, and is less expensive per task

In their video today, they said they asked Valve the original pricing, and they said (paraphrasing) "we can't tell you exactly - but the increase we recently had on the steam deck is about how much the pricing for machine increase

We did this once at a traditional hackathon - we took a food dehydrator and wired up a temp sensor and raspberry pi, wrote PID controls and turned it into a 3D printer filament dryer.

There's a big difference between a well considered high quality contribution made using AI as a tool and "claude find and fix an issue in this repo so I can put on my resume that I contributed to a high profile project". The

I also do this, but I find the terminal ergonomics are a little awkward on mobile. I do think termius is the best version of it I've used though

Couldn't you just spend those $100 on claude code credits yourself and make sure you're not shipping insecure software? Security by obscurity is not the correct model (IMO)

Sqlite’s source code is public domain. Surely if you dropped the sqlite source code into Linux, it wouldn’t suddenly become GPL code? I’m not sure how it works

This article is convincing, but ultimately still no true evidence, it's all circumstantial. After reading this, Back does seem like a pretty likely candidate, but maybe you could run the same kind of investigation on every other candid

So is it an actual moving bus or just a simulation of one? I have not heard of the concept before

Yeah, but all the models live in chatGPT have reasoning (iirc) - they could use reasoning tokens to do the 'compute', and still show the user a succinct response that directly answers the query

because for API users they get to charge for 3x the tokens for the same requests

I feel like this has gotten much worse since they were introduced. I guess they're optimizing for verbosity in training so they can charge for more tokens. It makes chat interfaces much harder to use IMO. I tried using a custom instruc

For reference when this was written in 2018, a P/E of the S&P of 24 was considered inflated. It stands at 29.34 as of now.

I didn't have a ton of time to play with this but on first try this is awesome. Looking forward to spending more time playing with it

10c yes seems really high for a tie. NCAA rules don't allow for ties in football. I know prediction markets have very long shot bets but I would expect that to be closer to 1c Edit: it looks like the tie market is only for if the game

I paused and wrote out all the probabilities and saw no way to improve beyond 80% - I scrolled down hoping to be proven wrong!

Turns out, at least in my area, for the grocery items you need to buy at least $25 worth to qualify for the free shipping.

I also don't agree with the argument you replied to, but a counter-argument to your point is that we don't mandate individuals to wear name tags while in public

presumably the time is replaced with the actual current time at each generation. I wonder if they are actually generated every minute or if all 6480 permutations (720 minutes in a day * 9 llms) were generated and just show on a schedule
