    I know this is more or less expected, but the improvement induced by adding a worker diminishes very rapidly... I guess it's not the cpython/numpy's fault but rather the CPU.

    I'm not a mathematician and AI doesn't answer very well. Could someone tell us how big an endeavour this is: https://github.com/ImperialCollegeLondon/FLT ? (the site is : "An ongoi…

    "A clear path to zero": what a joke. It will be 25% less fuel, 75% SAF which are nowhere close (how will one grow enough without fertilizers ?), or worse, hydrogen which is even mo…

    ah, you're right, I thought it was disabled only for "export", but the PR explicitly says everybody: https://www.anthropic.com/news/fable-mythos-access

    As a european, it's funny to read those stories about Fable and not being able to check for myself. It looks like being a kid watching other kids playing with nicer toys.

    I've been using KDE for the last 30 years I guess but somehow never used KolourPaint until to 2 weeks go. That's the first "pain" program that is usable to do simple things. Gimp i…

    I use Qalculate! quite a lot (but for rather simple things). However, I miss the "physical" aspect of having real buttons. How woud this Ti-84 Evo compare ? https://qalculate.githu…

    I do greenfield in fluid dynamics and Claude doesn't help: I need to be able to justify each line of my code (the physics part) and using Claude doesn't help. On the UI side Claude…

    The job of the programmer/Designer will be to answer questions about what the program can do/not do and tweak it outside of Claude's abilities. To be able to answer those questions…
