They said 5.6 Sol got something around 40% with the corrected harness.

The ARC-AGI-3 harness was throwing away reasoning tokens between turns. This is very bad harness design. The models are designed to keep the reasoning tokens separate from the output and only publicly emit tool calls and the sometimes a sum

Another perspective on this is that coordination is the hardest problem to solve in deploying technology that depends on cooperation between different parties. It takes a few of the big centralized players to agree to put their weight behin

It’s a very soft skill that changes as the capabilities of AI change. But one thing that doesn’t change is the need to specify an end goal correctly and precisely. I think the emphasis of knowledge/information-processing work is going

Pretty cool, rendering PowerPoint files to an image is probably the only way for LLMs to make sense of them. Does this work in Cloudflare’s workerd environment? Would be nice to have a cheap serverless render -> LLM (GLM-OCR / Paddl

If you give every agent an isolated container to use, you’re going to be paying for the reserved memory while the container is active, even if the agent isn’t doing anything.

Wow, that’s very interesting. I wish more benchmarks were reported along with the total cost of running that benchmark. Dollars per token is kind of useless for the reasons you mentioned.

Lots of comments about the price change, but Artifical Analysis reports that 3.1 Flash-Lite (reasoning) used fewer than half of the tokens of 2.5 Flash-Lite (reasoning). This will likely bring the cost below 2.5 flash-lite for many tasks (d

Very interesting blog post. I’d never seen that method for quickly computing the patterns. I thought I had done a lot of research on bloom filters, too!

Yeah, I agree with this. I think there are open addressing hash tables like Swiss Table that do something similar. IIRC, they have buckets with a portion at the beginning with lossy “fingerprints” of items, which kind of serve a similar pur

This article is a little confusing. I think this is a roundabout way to invent the blocked bloom filter with k=2 bits inserted per element. It seems like the authors wanted to use a single hash for performance (?). Maybe they correctly dete

I wonder if the “spawn” API is ever preferable over “fork”. Do we really want to remove context if we can help it? There will certainly be situations where we have to, but then what you want is good compaction for the subagent. “Clean-slate

What are your thoughts on how Bevy's developing UI toolkit compares (in terms of goals and use cases) to some of the other Rust efforts in the space (egui, xilem, iced, etc.)? Do you expect it will be specialized/limited to scene

For sure; using total energy delivered makes a lot more sense. But then I think it would be better to use whatever tool humanity has that delivers the max total energy; let’s say Tsar Bomba. Let’s say the mosquito is 1 again, so Death Star

To kill a mosquito, you need "a few tens of millijoules, delivered within a few milliseconds" [0], so let's say 10W. To destroy the Earth (so that it turns into scattered dust and never reforms) you need about 10^32 J [1]; if

A company called Invent Wood (based on research out of UMD) is creating “densified” wood that solves a lot of these problems. They have a process that collapses the cell walls in wood and compresses it to a quarter of its thickness, which g

Modern mini-led monitors are very good. The “local” dimming is so local that there isn’t much light bleed even in the worst-case situations (cursor over black background makes it particularly apparent). The advantage of LEDs is they’re brig

You can definitely get around a lot of the pain points by using owned types like String as much as possible instead of borrowed types like &str. This is even generally recommended; there’s often no benefit to using the more advanced fea

A simple extension of the Bloom filter called “block Bloom filters” fixes this. The idea is that the first hash is the index of a small constant-size block of your array, and the rest of the indices are within that block. So a single query

The Underway app is basically an interactive version of this (NYC-specific). It’s just the transit map, but you can click on stations to see current arrival/departure times (“3min”) and MTA notices for lines going through that station.

I think that regardless of what references you have, Rust frees values at the end of their lexical “scope”. For example, in the linked code below, x is clearly unused past the first line, but its “Drop” implementation executes after the pri

I don’t know for sure, but I’d bet that their construction can only implement “Clifford” gates, which are a subset of the gates needed for arbitrary quantum computation. This is a common situation. Lots of proposed quantum computing archite

Has anyone had a good experience with bluesound? Sends like they offer a similar product but with less big-corporate headache. Haven’t tried them myself, though. https://www.bluesound.com/
