    This reminds me of elevator saga ( https://play.elevatorsaga.com/ ) - little programming game where you have to program elevator schedules.

    This works if only 'trusted' actors have access to frontier class models that can search for vulnerabilities. With a near-frontier model available with open weights then attackers …

    The CursorBench plot, for example, shows that fable does have slightly better performance, but Opus is pretty close, and is less expensive per task

    In their video today, they said they asked Valve the original pricing, and they said (paraphrasing) "we can't tell you exactly - but the increase we recently had on the steam deck …

    We did this once at a traditional hackathon - we took a food dehydrator and wired up a temp sensor and raspberry pi, wrote PID controls and turned it into a 3D printer filament dry…

    There's a big difference between a well considered high quality contribution made using AI as a tool and "claude find and fix an issue in this repo so I can put on my resume that I…

    This is what I do every time I want to read an article.

    I still get "this model requires macOS" when trying to pull that one

    I also do this, but I find the terminal ergonomics are a little awkward on mobile. I do think termius is the best version of it I've used though

    Cool! FYI the arrows on both photos only actually control the top photo.

    Looks like this was a newsletter by the author, not a blogpost

    Couldn't you just spend those $100 on claude code credits yourself and make sure you're not shipping insecure software? Security by obscurity is not the correct model (IMO)

    Sqlite’s source code is public domain. Surely if you dropped the sqlite source code into Linux, it wouldn’t suddenly become GPL code? I’m not sure how it works

    This article is convincing, but ultimately still no true evidence, it's all circumstantial. After reading this, Back does seem like a pretty likely candidate, but maybe you could r…

    So is it an actual moving bus or just a simulation of one? I have not heard of the concept before

    Yeah, but all the models live in chatGPT have reasoning (iirc) - they could use reasoning tokens to do the 'compute', and still show the user a succinct response that directly answ…

    because for API users they get to charge for 3x the tokens for the same requests

    I feel like this has gotten much worse since they were introduced. I guess they're optimizing for verbosity in training so they can charge for more tokens. It makes chat interfaces…

    I didn't have a ton of time to play with this but on first try this is awesome. Looking forward to spending more time playing with it

    10c yes seems really high for a tie. NCAA rules don't allow for ties in football. I know prediction markets have very long shot bets but I would expect that to be closer to 1c Edit…
