    To be sure, we had hidden tests that validate whether agent implemented the task appropriately. And this is something we paid a lot of attention to (pass rate, in our paper.) What …

    My 65yo parents installed Solar panels on the roof of their house in a Tier 2 city in the poor parts of India. So did pretty much most of their neighbours. So i would have to disag…

    You're not wrong. But, I recently did the mistake of upgrading my iPad to version 26 (the liquid glass version). I had a relatively smooth experience on my 6 year old tablet which …
