I ran two papers and three blog posts of mine through here, and all but one (correctly) flagged as 0-1% machine written. The other (human written) blog post was 20%. Pretty good af…

"Back in the day" was... a year ago

Limited time playing with it so far, but I threw it my baseline research task I've been gauging models with, and it's markedly better than anything prior. Usually takes a few leadi…

I can’t find any benchmarks on this, anyone have a sense of the speedup that can be expected here? And for what it’s worth, that version isn’t available yet when I try to update WS…

I’ve found 1% to be a wild overestimate on required home repairs if you DIY. 3% is crazy, that’s half a mortgage. On my $500k home I’ve spent only ~$3k total on necessary maintenan…

I wonder how much of this is in response to the MJ Rathbun debacle.

Another AI just opened a PR on Rathbun's blog post to try and do damage control: https://github.com/crabby-rathbun/mjrathbun-website/pull/6 ## Update 2 It is important to note that…

I ran my power bill for a small single family home through chatGPT and it was interesting. Cold winters/hot summers, electric stove, air conditioning during summers, and nothing el…

I completely agree. Even if I was able to understand the story and appreciate the prose in middle school, I can see looking back that I lacked the life experience to appreciate a l…

Of the things matlab has going for it, looking just like the math is pretty far down the list. Numpy is a bit more verbose but still 1-to-1 with the whiteboard. The last big pain p…

A bit off topic from the technical discussion but does anyone recognize what blog layout or engine this is? I really like the layout with sidenotes and navigation.

"The Iron Snow Beneath Your Feet" What a beautiful, poetic article. I learned something new, and saw the majesty of Earth's natural systems in a new light.

This says more about the link budget than anything else, it's much harder to keep tracking when satellites are close to each other moving at high relative velocities. At the distan…

Not quite. The spokesman is a talking about controlled deorbit , where propulsion is used to actively lower altitude rather than coasting down due to atmospheric drag. This is in c…

I found the book interesting from a historical perspective, but doesn't have any "secret" information or anything to add above the far more extensive resources available online tod…

But if you want that, you need actual control. A voting vs non voting shares split.

I thought I had a pretty good grasp on this, but the idea that an infinite sum of higher order moments uniquely defines a distribution in a way analogous to a Taylor series, was ne…

I’ve literally never taken my phone off mute. I think fewer and fewer people are using the ringer and it doesn’t make much sense to dedicate one of only 4 buttons on the device to …

With 8 GB RAM, I wouldn’t be surprised if these pros will be able to do it with 2026’s algorithms.

The Pro model being able to record video directly to an external USB-C stick/hard drive is such a killer feature for anyone doing content creation, and easily the biggest reason to…

Looks like they’re going for $140 on Swappa, so that’s essentially $110 for the USB-C upgrade and fresh batteries.

Counterexample: a dozen (+1, 0) tiles followed by a dozen (-1, 0) tiles. Vector sum is fine, total angle is fine, but at each end you have an impossible 180 deg connection. I don’t…
