What's surprising (to me) is that there exist 3840x2560 28" IPS panel monitors on Amazon for only $150.

External 16" 3840x2400 monitors are ~$150 on Amazon.

> You can ask 100 people and they'll all give you a different list. True. With 5 choices you need at least 126 people before you can guarantee that two lists are the same.

Definitely in the pool of people that used to do this extensively. I would occasionally increase/decrease the colum limit by a few characters and try again if the words didn't align.

There's no credible reference to this. The most likely scenario is that they worked together in designing the system. They also credited their professors, Motwani and Winograd, for it.

That kind of breaks the argument, doesn't it? You can get an old pc for free or next to nothing also.

I don't want to alarm people but I hear they now have automobiles that can outrun humans.

How much does the monitor cost?

It is well documented that the Antikythera mechanism could predict solar and lunar eclipses. The device's operation was based on 7th century BC Babylonian astronomy, specifically the Saros cycle, and Greek astronomy. The theory and dat

It doesn't. I went to Saragoza in Spain, at 8:30pm on August 12 to verify. Cool project nonetheless.

From context, I assume it's the grace period you are given to find another team after you get laid off.

TheSpectrum is great at capturing the original look&feel. The keyboard feels identical to the original. An emulator captures the software aspect well, but that's not all the speccy was.

Who knows what will happen in 20 years. Right now, it's not the case.

For sure, nothing like the original, but it's a cheap, quick way to get you started.

Demis is great -- this is not a zero-sum game. Who built what, and the relative importance, is an interesting discussion to have, but it's orthogonal to my point. Which is: When you think about Google, true, old, "don't be ev

Demis stepped down? Who cares? Jeff and Sanjay are leaving Google. We are in uncharted territory.

The Retro Games TheSpectrum is not a bad starting point [1], it's very close to the original and you can use HDMI video output and USB power. [1] https://retrogames.biz/products/thespectrum/

> Many security tools for doing security audits with LLMs are based around a "look at this file" loop This makes sense. At most it converts the question of ability to a question of cost (i.e. fire up a prompt for each file). Th

> You can see which bugs each model found in the full report. This should have probably been surfaced at the text. To answer my own question: If one uses gemma4-26b-a4b, mimo-v2.5-pro and gemini-3.5-flash then 7/9 bugs are covered,

Id soft folks were using 2 graphics cards, an EGA/VGA and an MDA one to do multihead debugging. It was possible because the two card technologies actually mapped their frame buffers onto two separate address ranges. Cool stuff.

"Every mathematician wants to discover a mathematician's lemma." It might have been easy to guess, but you didn't really think of it in the past 51 years since the Commodore 128 was introduced, did you?

The "best" model finds 4/9 bugs. It would be interesting to see if all models find the _same_ bugs. Does a collection of models exist that can cover all 9? Also, it seems to me that pointing a model to a bug and asking it to
