A classic satirical SF short story from Stanislaw Lem, containing a satirical look at AI, sexbots, and transhumanism.

I did something very similar last year, but with programming languages that were REALLY out of distribution; they were generated specifically for the benchmark. I call it TiānshūBe…

Historically, the cycle has been requirements -> code -> test, but with coding becoming much faster, the bottlenecks have changed. That's one of the reasons I've been working on Sp…

I've recently found that my ability to add new features and squash bugs has outpaced my ability to do full end-to-end tests. To help with this, I created Spark Runner for automated…

TFA seems to be big on mathematical proof of correctness, but how do you ever know you're proving the right thing?

Lisp has been around for 65 years (not 50 as in the author believes), and is one of the very first high-level programming languages. If it was as great as its advocates say, surely…

Moravec strikes again.

For my benchmarking suite, it turns out that it's about 1/5 the price of Claude Sonnet 4.1, with roughly comparable results.

If you're looking for free API access, Google offers access to Gemini for free, including for gemini-2.5-pro with thinking turned on. The limit is... quite high, as I'm running som…

This has been available (20b version, I'm guessing) for the past couple of days as "Horizon Alpha" on Openrouter. My benchmarking runs with TianshuBench for coding and fluid intell…

Current AI systems don't have a great ability to take instructions or information about the state of the world and produce new output based upon that. Benchmarks that emphasize thi…

Yes, it would be fantastic to have more languages to test off of. I picked the base language I did (Mamba) because it was easy to modify and integrate into Python.

Generating the problems: I just thought up a few simple things that the computer might be able to do. In the future, I hope to expand to more complex problems, based upon common bu…

I find that these books have to be read by the right person at the right time. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill did nothing for me when I first was exposed to it, but later on,…

The PDF conversions I've tried in Firefox and Chromium don't work that well.

> Another on that really irritates me is the kind that presents a series of integers and asks which integer comes next. Any integer will do, you just have to fit the appropriate po…

AutoCAD automation?

Xometry, though it's also US and EU based.

I've been slowly working my way through this book for the past couple months. It's been amazingly helpful in learning all of the deep learning terminology, and giving a good overvi…

Slop has been around a while. I was researching a topic, and noticed that most of the top search results had the same misunderstanding of some of the definitions. The writers were …

It can't correctly identify a DXF file in my testing. It categorizes it as plain text.
