For me (Firefox on Windows, not in reader mode) the graphics stop showing at the "585 builds" paragraph. Besides, if something doesn't work in reader mode, it's also likely to not …

It's cool until it breaks halfway through on Firefox, making the page unusable in that browser.

How come no other big model seems to be able to deliver the same type of extremely low cache cost though, if their techniques are public?

That act applies just as much to those American and Chinese models within the EU.

Yeah, medical computer vision is a (fascinating) field with a lot of ongoing research. SOTA models are highly specialized, and are only getting good enough to be used by actual doc…

Doesn't track with mine. I've been stuck with Sonnet 4.6 with one of the clients I work for. It writes code fine, but it's not nearly as good as the more recent models for everythi…

Having to lug 2 phones around has always seemed like more trouble than it's worth to me. I also don't like having multiple devices to do stuff that a single one could do, for envir…

I bet the first failure of a large stablecoin will be fun (for external onlookers at least).

Can't speak for 26, but a year ago I worked on a project that migrated from v5 to 11 because of improved image segmentation capabilities. My understanding is that the newer version…

Had a very similar experience. Opus went "look, t-sne shows your features are neatly clustered" (it didn't) and left it at that. Fable didn't fully explore the problem/data, but it…

Useful context for this is that token usage keeps rising at an exponential pace. I mean, we don't have numbers for the big labs, but Openrouter's numbers are quite telling (can't p…

OpenAI wrote a couple months ago that they do not consider SWE Bench Verified a meaningful benchmark anymore (and they were the ones who published it in the first place): https://o…

Not GP, but BMAD has several interview techniques in its brainstorming skill. You can invoke it with /bmad-brainstorming, briefly explain the topic you want to explore, then when i…

As a data architect I dislike the term NoSQL and often recommend that my coworkers not use it in technical discussions, as it is too vague. Document, key-value and graph DBs are us…

Reserves matter even if reserve ratios are zero. If Bank A lends too much money, then when its customers spend that money, a lot of it will end up deposited at other banks. These b…

This probably won't make you feel any better, but banks don't really loan out money that's not theirs. When they lend money, they literally create it out of thin air. Creating that…

If I were to do this (and I might give it a try, this is quite an interesting case), I would try to run a detection model on the image, to find bounding boxes for the planets and t…

On the professional side, they also often let you interact with their experts and architects directly, as part of your support contract. With most other companies, you either have …
