6 months behind is probably a bit rich, I find the frontier models more capable in sustained agent and compiler tasks. Simple tool-chains and basic reasoning seems more or less on …

Yes! A method to easily understand completion status without having to open a book to verify progress.

I jumped into a NY Times games sub for a year; couldn’t find the cancel button after a couple minutes of fiddling and ended up doing a CC chargeback in 60 seconds.

Carmak made extensive use of AI during Doom development: Approximate Interpolation.

Surely archived footage would be ripe for automated analysis once the tools are commercialized.

It’s always the same playbook with these rewards programs. Marketing invents a gimmick, the internet stress-tests it, finance freaks out, and the company quietly rewrites the TOS. …

You might be right. The paper mentioned the rats preferred hunting near the light barrier but also mentioned they probably climbed the fabric for an aerial advantage (they didn’t s…

Two thoughts come to mind: - the rats are effectively as blind as the bat in the dark, are they relying purely on sound and air currents to gauge their attack? - and what a fantast…

Putting 6G base stations in orbit is cool, I see that the next level begins when satellites, like Starlink, stop acting like relays and mesh networks relaying bits (Layer 2/3) and …

For sure, that’s another way to decompose “bigger rotors”. It would probably be appropriate to dive into a conversation about Ingenuity’s design goals, requirements, and the trades…

In a thin atmosphere, lifting a heavier payload needs bigger rotors or increased RPM, which increases power demands and structural stress. The challenge is to keep the vehicle ligh…

Some models (RWD?) are equipped with LFP (lithium iron phosphate) batteries. Tesla recommends setting a charge limit of 100% and, as you mentioned, charging up to 100% at least onc…
