I think you're comparing to third party prices, deepseek's prices hasn't changed with this release. Also, $1.2 is the peaktime price. https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing/

Yes and it's also compatible with thermodynamics: it's much easier to destroy (increase entropy) than to create (locally decrease entropy)

The "IQ 180" label seems to be referring to the (human) CTO of their startup.

I would be extremely surprised if something as elegant, terse, and useful as the Fourier Transform had been missed by human mathematicians up until now. All expressible theorems are enumerable, after all (if we limit ourselves to a finite a

More like second-to-last on most of them, to my eye. Which is impressive as it's smaller and cheaper than the others.

Haha oops, you're right :)

It's a high quality benchmark for sure, but it being public means it's at risk of leaking into the models (unintentionally or not), right? For that reason I prefer to look at the private ones, like: HLE, SimpleBench, Kagi, ARC-AGI

the obvious solution is to not use the words that have an obscure word as anagram. I failed on 'target' because I went for 'regatta'.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

I'm a housekeeper skeptic. While I concede that a professional housekeeper would probably do a better job than me on most domestic tasks, I still think everyone should clean their own home, cook their own dinner, and write their own co

No, that's not the reason they claim. From the paper: > WFH has been shown to raise the cost of supervising and monitoring workers, and can slow on-the-job learning

I would think that's true for all the models on OR. The data is skewed for sure, but it's interesting none the less.

Also, while we're pitching new features to openrouter, I'd like to see a "$ spent" chart, which would remove all these huge freebie spikes. It looks like it would be pretty much dominated by claude.

Of all the incompleteness-style theorems, I find the Halting problem to be the most approachable and also the most interesting. Maybe it's because I'm a software dev that dabbles in math rather than the other way around. But that

Blog post: https://stability.ai/news-updates/meet-stable-audio-3-the-mo... A bit bizarre that there's not a single audio example in that post. But the model is available on their gen-AI service: https:/&#x2F

You could say they have a sort of anti-moat (drawbridge?) since you can use their product to create a competitor. But that's true of most dev tools, in a sense.

A polar low earth orbit can be always-on (no earth shadow). Each satellite will be in thermal equilibrium, around 10°C. Catastrophic destruction from micrometeoroids is rare. I'm not saying it's a good idea, but I don't see a

I don't follow your logic. I mentioned starlink as an example of transistors (and solar panels) in space dealing with radiation.

by svantana 4mo ago
How hot do you think black objects in space get? Something like 10°C. Look up thermal equilibrium of an ideal black body.
24.
by svantana 4mo ago
The joint solar panel + computer system will be pretty close to an ideal black body, which near earth will have an average temperature of about 10°C. And radiation is an issue, but starlink seems to work so I don't see why this wouldn&

I dunno if it's that clear cut. In space with a shadowless orbit you get 5x more solar energy per day than the sunniest place on earth. And it's always on, so you don't need batteries. Also, the lack of gravity and weather me

Most of the time, a hundred feet is enough. 30 years ago, if you needed an aerial photo shot, you needed a helicopter pilot. Today, you just don't.

If you prefer staying in denial, be my guest. But I've seen multiple instances of fully functioning software created by people who don't even know what code is. Maybe these creators are now developers, in a sense. But no SWE'

There are definitely automated dev systems, of which an LLM is a part. The remaining part may be called a 'harness' or whatever. The quality of the generated software is another matter. If the AI is not good enough, then don'

Why would anyone want to go back? It seems likely that the automated dev systems will just keep improving and get faster, cheaper, stronger.

A product I think could work is a robo vacuum / drone combo. The drone will first fly around and blow dust from shelves etc, and most of it will end up on the floor. After that, the vacuum bot does its thing.
