Pangram should be paying HNers for how often we pitch needing to use their product by name to believe things as obvious as "a long form news article cramming every AI trope it can fit from start to finish" being AI written. At thi

I'm not sure the idea is really from a single set place or lineage like that. If it was, it was at least from before smolagents and those papers - ChatGPT had already been using automatic Python scripting+evaluation calls and people ca

Two notes from my own poking around to build on with: 5.6 Sol would also run for 20+ hours on prompts with Max or Ultracode. Sometimes this worked out, sometimes it devolved into exactly the nonsense descent into ultra-specific madness seen

If I build a house and the demand goes up I don't have to build the solar panels (and everything else involved) to cover it, I pay the utility company to build that based on how much I'm needing to use. Well, normally I pay for wh

The problem with the acceptance of the given proof of the abc conjecture is rooted in beliefs the proof had at least one erroneous step in its logic which leaves gaps not able to be filled back in without significant new work in the proof.

There's a large difference between "wrong for the given definitions" and "right in that context, but wrong for other definitions" though.

I'm sure over the next 6 months both OpenAI and Anthropic are going to continue pouring many many millions of dollars into any famous open mathematical problem like that. There is a limited pool of problems which have held prestige for

I interpreted that step as "once you click 'Auto Input Levels', drag the center triangle of the 3 at the bottom of the histogram to where you think the median of the histogram is". That middle slider defaults to being th

EVS is typically not horrendous, I just wouldn't describe it as the usual VoLTE quality yet. That's still most commonly AMR-WB at 16 kHz, though it'd depend largely on who you're dialing from what where I suppose. One pe

Yeah, I can see maaaany layers to have to differentiate between when discussing. E.g., for just a few random examples: - The microphone always vibrates from the sound waves - The microphone is powered in a way that the sound waves change el

"'Am I drunk' what exactly, officer?" has probably been the basis of some good skits.

When you speed up at speeds comparable to that of light, the angles, amounts, and wavelengths of light which reach you will change. This means you can't visually judge brightness, color, distance, and length the same as you normally wo

You could tape 10 Ford Fiestas together but it doesn't mean it laps a Mustang it means you were fine with what the Fiesta could do which, honestly, most people probably (very reasonably) are.

I still run my own DNS and HTTP/HTTPS server. It's basically free of effort compared to what setting up and maintaining SMTP was (I used to do that on my colo because of the aforementioned, now I just point my MX records and escap

I'd take a bet with you on this. Apple Vision Pro has sold something like ~600k units while the Fold7, one of ~a dozen foldables from Samsung, is estimated to have sold ~1.9 million units the first month of being available. The US laun

"The phone network"? As in the usually 8 kHz to 16 kHz quality call typically encoding at ~a quarter the rate of dial-up? Of course that sounds like a tin can either way, it's coming in encoded with the quality of a tin can!

The standard issue meme is usually the other way around: it's deliverability which is often a PITA, not receiving. My previous ISP wouldn't even unblock outbound SMTP unless I switched to a business plan.

It is, but the number is still strongly disagreeing with any other value I can find reference to so GP does seem to be on to something being off with this reporting. My best bet is perhaps "summer" and "winter" got swapp

LOL, hilarious if that's what it was! Can't say I've ever shot one but it sure looks fun.

I was a bit disappointed in these numbers because, despite having two batteries and the outer display being smaller, the Duo still has 1 less hour of video playback on the outer display than the iPhone 18 Pro Max.

The Mini 14 never existed. Perhaps you're thinking of a specific (non-mini) model of the iPhone 12 which was temporarily banned in France or maybe the USB C requirement which went into effect ~1 year after new sales of the iPhone 13 mi

I'm sure Apple, and most other smartphone companies who have released a smaller phone before, are also at least as capable as us at accounting for launch timing in their investigations of what causes a phone to sell well and what doesn

I think they intended to continue "... without changing their aspect ratios". I.e. an aspect ratio of Sqrt(2)is the only one where the inner screen (full) and inner screen (half) match, and they seem to have tried to make the oute

It's also easier to do shared housing but part of it is just that people like having their own personal dedicated space to exist in even if it's not the most efficient answer.

I had a few problems which Sol was bumbling around with and giving mediocre results (e.g. in a toy planet app, Sol was taking several iterations to get a half decent looking render of the weather I still wasn't pleased with) but Astra

I don't know it has as much to do with scale of the system vs the general architecture. E.g. the system I primarily work with these days has millions of lines but most PRs are for a small changes which are well contained in scope by th

Strict determinism is a different, but related, issue. E.g. if I've written a role playing character using a specific model I may want to pin the character to that model until I've been able to test the model being "better&qu

Sure, you can always validate what it's saying yourself at any point & you can have it try to make manual verification an easier process to complete via methods such as the above.

It can always hallucinate said report results/evidence/proof just the same. This approach tends to help reduce the hallucination rate though. You can extend this further by using an adversarial agent trying to find mistakes in the
