    You post your benchmark on every other AI article, I've seen you do this by now more than a dozen times. It's a bit much. I don't want to be too harsh but your benchmark is obvious…

    Google wanted to release 3.5 Pro last month but because of the trouble Anthropic got with Fable they might have wanted to wait a bit for the dust to settle I could imagine. And now…

    I feel like it would be much better if the article focused on QuePaxa because IMHO it's an algorithm that finally brings some novel ideas to concensus (e.g. not relying on timeouts…

    But it's not a large-scale public deployment yet either. The article says towards the end that they just ran a proof of concept. Maybe the blog post is just premature. It would be …

    I like the initiative but would love if there was a heavily stripped down version, it seems this one needs to download 95mb+. DuckDB also has a WASM version which is also not tiny …

    I already gave up on Fable 5 because it sometimes was just not worth the editional price compared to Opus 4.8 and other times it flat out downgraded to Opus anyways for no good rea…

    Here's a crucial mechanism that Paul Graham did not mention: With a wealth tax using his calculation, the higher your returns, the lower the comparable income tax would be. If your…

    3.5 Flash was more expensive than 3.1 Pro to run the Artifical Analysis test suite. $1551 for 3.5 Flash [0] vs $892 for 3.1 Pro [1]. That's 74% more cost while ranking lower. It's …

    Advantage for what exactly though? I'm not saying Elo Ranking doesn't give any information. It just doesn't give the information that the OP's project claims to be able to give: th…

    The Elo rating system measures relative performance to the other models. As the other models improve or rather newer better models enter the list, the Elo score of a given existing…

    Interestingly NET is down 15%-ish in extended hours trading and was even down 20% at some point. Many times a stock will make a positive move when layoffs are announced. Cloudflare…

    Google will soon release Gemini Nano 4 based on Gemma 4. A "Fast" version based on Gemma 4 E2B and a "Full" version based on E4B. https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/04/…

    I don't think people are crediting Apple with inventing unified memory - I certainly did not. There have been similar systems for decades. What Apple did is popularize this with wi…

    Comment #47822555

    Apple Silicon uses unified memory where the CPU and GPU use the exact same memory and no copies from RAM to VRAM are needed. The article opens with mentioning just that and indeed …

    Yes but that is just a tiny part of the whole CF worker ecosystem. The other services are not open source and so the lock-in is very very real. There are no API compatible alternat…

    And now you've put everything on the equivalent of a single NodeJS process running on a tiny VM. Next step: spread out over multiple durable objects but that means implementing a s…

    > How did you work around this problem? As in, how do you monitor for hung queries and cancel them? You just wrap your DB queries in your own timeout logic. You can then continue y…

    D1 reliability has been bad in our experience. We've had queries hanging on their internal network layer for several seconds, sometimes double digits over extended periods (on the …

    Comment #47615421

    Quite strong results in the benchmarks but why Gemini 3 Pro instead of 3.1? Why only for a few of the benchmarks? Why is OpenAI not there in the coding benchmarks? Why Opus 4.5 and…
