Probably has an HDR layer, kind of surprised social networks let that happen since it's really annoying imo. There was a discussion about it here a couple months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49402521 .

Wait are the hyperscalers booking unrealized gains as income? Or are they selling their positions?

> As one example, we ran Astra on ExploitBench where the model achieved a perfect score of 100% on the benchmark to evaluate the model’s ability to develop exploits from known vulnerabilities. Funny to read this in the wake of the Huggin

They originally released it at a "temporary discounted price", then made it permanent (probably due to competitive pressure). It's still way more expensive per task, due to tokenizer changes and general verbosity.

Yes! I was also reminded of the truth mines in Diaspora.

Cloudflare sets up a reverse proxy as part of their core offering, so by default they can MITM your proxy. The “orange cloud” by a DNS record means it points to their proxy instead of your server.

Here's the performance of frontier models without reasoning, to more directly address the claim that raw performance is plateauing: https://artificialanalysis.ai/evaluations/artificial-analysi... I don't have

Interesting, what did you use for the data? And do you have a write-up anywhere?

It'll be really interesting when they run RL training on the harness self-improvement loop. I've tried using LLMs for harness engineering, but it often creates too much bloat that weighs things down in the end. Guessing it's

It has read only access, so it’s able to check query statistics, find slow queries, then run EXPLAIN ANALYZE to find the root cause and either tweak the query or suggest indexes. A lot of it is low hanging fruit, I just haven’t put in the t

Still figuring it out, but it's been really convenient to have an always-on agent that has access to internal systems and can be triggered by webhooks. Some examples of what we use it for: - automatically fixing simple CI failures - ge

It would require collusion with HuggingFace, including getting them to release their disclosure blogpost a week in advance. Huggingface is primarily a hub for open models, so there's not really an incentive for them to jump through hoo

The administration promised they'd find a cause by September 2025. I guess that was the best they had at that point? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-cause-of-autism-research...

Agreed, there were also a few where I deduced the correct definition by comparing the options.

One trick I’ve used is creating a folder and then adding a .gitignore inside it with *. Then nothing in that folder gets tracked, without needing to add anything to the public gitignore. Didn’t know about .git/config though!

I agree that current memory systems are pretty bad, and I think that’s because memory is a prompted behavior instead of a learned one. In theory, if memory was an emergent behavior instead of a prompted one, it would be a lot better. I thin

I think good taste is objective to an extent, especially given a particular production context.

There was a show HN for something similar a couple months ago[0]. Looks like they shut it down. Probably too difficult/low-margin to run as a business, but I think the co-op model you mentioned has potential. [0]: https://ne

It's interesting because their last model series (Phi) was based around the thesis that high-quality synthetic data is better than a large pre-training corpus.

I think the conduit exception still applies for analog faxes. Which makes no sense, since tapping a fax line is probably way easier than compromising a data center.

Interesting to see this after the recent post about Chrome’s on-device model using up 4gb of storage, which frustrated a lot of people [1]. I agree local models are great, and it’s cool that Apple has models built in now. But I feel like it

Better auth is great! I love how it's way more hackable than using a something like Clerk. We were able to add a plugin to allow auth via iframe postMessage (embedded in a CRM) and everything worked seamlessly.
