"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 leading prompts to find all the information…
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 WSL.
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 maintenance over 5 years (0.1%/yr), and that…

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 this is a new frontier for society,…
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 else out of the ordinary that uses power.…
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 lot of the undertones and unspoken…
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 point was solved…
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 distances in your example, movement of the…
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 contrast to controlled reentry, which…
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 today. I find http://data-to-viz.com…
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 new and super interesting! It gives…

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 it.
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 pick the Pro over the base model. This…
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 think you can get away from local…
My personal pet peeve with ISO 8601 is that the time zone can only be specified to the minute. There are common time offsets in use which require seconds resolution - for example GPS time which is currently 18 seconds…
