Bad (though I haven't tested autocompletion). It's underperforming other models on livebench.ai.

With Copilot Pro and DeepSeek's website, I ran "find logic bugs" on a 1200 LOC file I actually needed code review for:

- DeepSeek R1 found like 7 real bugs out of 10 suggested with the remaining 3 being acceptable false positives due to missing context

- Claude was about the same with fewer remaining bugs; no hallucinations either

- Meanwhile, Gemini had 100% false positive rate, with many hallucinations and unhelpful answers to the prompt

I understand Gemini 2.0 is not a reasoning model, but DeepClaude remains the most effective LLM combo so far.
I know nothing about OCR providers. It seems like OCR failure would result in gibberish or awkward wording that might be easy to spot. Doesn't the LLM failure mode assert made up truths eloquently that are more difficult to spot?
Neither the FAA situation nor the article are about neurodiversity.

> We need to stop treating neurodiversity as if it’s a scale from good to bad. It’s just a kind of diversity.

In the situation of hiring people for specific jobs, filtering for a perceived "neurodiversity" would have no scientific basis.

Fortunately, hiring doesn't work this way. The idea is to hire for people who are qualified for and capable of the job, not to try to evaluate questionable proxies like neurodiversity.
Should ownership of newspapers be limited to mere millionaires? Or do you mean that private ownership of newspapers should be abolished?

This country was built on privately owned newspapers wielded as weapons by their owners; I'm sure you've heard of Benjamin Franklin. The First Ammendment protects this more than anything else for this reason.
Just mentioned to an acquaintance a couple of days ago that Entity Framework is the biggest flip-flop of my personal career. I was a _rabid_ supporter when it was released a decade and a half or so ago, and the appeal has decreased linearly over time, to the present day.

Statically-typed queries written in a mini-DSL within your application language seems like such a joy!

But then the configuration is a hassle. The DbContext lifecycles are a hassle. The DbContext winds up a big ball of mutable state that often gets passed all up and down your call stack, reducing the ability to reason about much of the code locally. Was this instance initialized with or without change tracking? How many and what changes have been applied? Were these navigation properties lazily or eagerly loaded?

And it promises to keep your domain persistence ignorant with its fluent configuration syntax. But then you have compromise on that here, then compromise in it there.

Pretty soon, you realize that you started out building a project for domain X or domain Y, only to realize that you're trying to shoehorn domain X/Y behavior into your Entity Framework app.

> it’s just that career politicians aren’t incentivized to do this for “good” because they want long political careers.

That's not why: Reagan, Clinton, W, and Obama all had the opportunity for sweeping changes of this magnitude without regard to further political careers, but none of them wanted to make radical changes. Their view of the US government (even Reagan's!) was "basically doing a good job, but maybe needs a tweak". The current administration does not appear to share this view, though we'll see how that goes.
Hi! This is Germany calling! Indeed, Autobahns don't have a speed restriction and are as safe or safer than the US freeways.
I have a few points here

1. It takes a lot more training to learn to fly an aircraft, in part because the controls are so complex and specialized.

2. I'm not expecting to need to type while driving. But when my car is parked, there is no real downside to just letting me use an on-screen keyboard to punch in the address for my next destination. Anything other than a keyboard would frankly require too much re-learning, and I'm not convinced would actually be safer.

3. An airplane cockpit does not need to accommodate third party software, the controls are all designed with a specific intended purpose. Stuff like CarPlay and Android Auto need UX that can adapt to fit the needs of whatever software the user wants to run on them. A touchscreen accomplishes this quite elegantly.
My point was that there hasn't been a revolution in branch prediction (or really any sort of speculation) the last 5–10 years. Things have become incrementally better as always, and the M1 presumably has some sort of pointer value speculation, but by and large, things are generally similar. So running on a 5–10 year old microarchitecture won't change the qualitative results much.

If you talked about running on a 30-year-old architecture, then sure, that would tell you something about the effect of modern speculation on the code.
It’s a question of scale. When a traditional OCR system makes an error, it’s confined to a relatively small part of the overall text. (Think of “Plastics” becoming “PIastics”.) When a LLM hallucinates, there is no limit to how much text can be made up. Entire sentences can be rewritten because the model thinks they’re more plausible than the sentences that were actually printed. And because the bias is always toward plausibility, it’s an especially insidious problem.

Not sure what service you're basing your calculation on but with Gemmini I've processed 10,000,000+ shipping documents (PDF and PNGs) of every concievable layout in one month at under $1000 and an accuracy rate of between 80-82% (humans were at 66%).

The longest part of the development timeline was establishing the accuracy rate and the ingestion pipeline, which itself is massively less complex than what your workflow sounds like: PDF -> Storage Bucket -> Gemini -> JSON response -> Database

Just to get sick with it we actually added some recusion to the Gemini step to have it rate how well it extracted, and if it was below a certain rating to rewrite its own instructions on how to extract the information and then feed it back into itself. We didn't see any improvement in accuracy, but it was still fun to do.

I think the idea here is that a new class of jet aircraft fuel could be fielded which could be used as is for traditional jet aircraft, but which is also capable of being used as a safe and efficient source of hydrogen (via a catalyst) for proposed hydrogen-fueled aircraft.

If OpenAI's use of publishers' content required no permission then why did it consummate deals with all the publishers mentioned in the article, as well as seeking one with the NYT.

"Ask forgiveness, not permission" is supposed to be the Silicon Valley motto. But that's not what happening here. OpenAI is asking for permission. As with all the other publishers, OpenAI will have to pay. NYT reserves the right to set the price as high as it wishes. No doubt the price will be enough cover NYT's costs from this litigation. OpenAI will pay it.

I just downloaded Palemoon to check and it seems the CAPTCHA straight up crashes. Once it crashes, reloading the page no longer shows the CAPTCHA so it did pass something at least. I tried another Cloudflare turnstile but the entire browser crashed on a segfault, and ever since the CAPTCHAs don't seem to come up again.

ChatGPT.com is normally quite useful for generating Cloudflare prompts, but that page doesn't seem to work in Palemoon regardless of prompts. What version browser engine does it use these days? Is it still based on Firefox?

For reference I grabbed the latest main branch of Ladybird and ran that, but Cloudflare isn't showing me any prompts for that either.
What's the cost of annoying people trying to browse to your sites, some to the point where they'll just not bother?
Yeah, they need something in their system prompt to tell their name or else they have absolutely no idea what they are and will hallucinate to 100% based on training data. If you're lucky, the AI just might guess right based on these circumstances.

It's not unusual for AI's to think they're OpenAI/ChatGPT because it's become so popular that it's leaked into the buzz it's trained on.

> So if Cloudflare has access to other data that can positively identify bots

They do not - not definitively [1]. This cat-and-mouse game is stochastic at higher levels, with bots doing their best to blend in with regular traffic, and the defense trying to pick up signals barely above the noise floor. There are diminishing returns to battling bots that are indistinguishable from regular users.

> I had been playing around with the idea of how to build the world's largest decentralized food production network

Years ago I worked on Farmforce that is basically this. In America we have centralized agriculture. Over the ocean, small-holder farmers in Africa provide lots of food to lots of markets. Keeping track of all of these farms, their herbicide and pesticide usage and weather-based yield projections is already a solved problem.
My definition of safety is simply how many memory/UB bugs escape to production. This is quantifiable. Looking at open-source Zig projects, even highly competent programmers seem to be struggling. I’d love to dig deeper into what’s causing all these panics: how much comes from Zig’s great interop story, how much from common language footguns, and how much from its non-global-allocator-passing philosophy?

> Now I ask what happens if we multiply the "infinite'th" terms of both sequences together.

In that case, you would've reached their respective limits, and you're back to adding one of those limits into itself an other-limit number of times. If sₙ · tₙ ⟶ 1, then that only holds true if tₙ hasn't actually reached 0.

> Thus we can either dispense with the cited established theorems of analysis used to deduce that sₙ · tₙ ⟶ 1

You don't need to do that. You just need to accept that zero is just as much of a mathematical special case as infinity - unsurprisingly, since it's the inverse of infinity and vice versa.

> It might be the case that Σ(∞, i = 1) 0 = 0, but you can't extend this to conclude +∞ · 0 = 0 in general.

Sure you can, unless you've got some other definition of multiplication that's impossible to express as self-summation.

Even if you go with the alternative definition of multiplication as a scaling operation (wherein you're computing m × n by taking the slope from (x=0,y=0) to (x=1,y=m) and then looking up y where x=n), if m is zero then the line being drawn never stops being vertical, and if n is zero then you never leave (0,0) in the first place. Doesn't matter if the other factor is infinitely far in either the x or y axis; you're still ending up with zero no matter how hard you try and fight it.

> Lots of intuitions from informal mathematics and even calculus start to break down once you examine the lower-level "machine code" of proof and analysis, especially once you start talking about concepts like infinity.

Sure, but in this case, it's the intuition that multiplying something by its inverse (a.k.a. dividing something by itself) is always 1 that breaks down, not the above-verifiable and inescapable fact that multiplying something by zero is always zero. 0 ÷ 0 = n looks like it should correct for any value of n (incl. n = 1), since multiplying both sides by zero to eliminate that divide-by-zero will always produce a correct equation, but since m ÷ n ≡ m × (1/n), if m is zero then anything on the RHS must be zero, because of that inescapable nature of nothingness - thus, 0 ÷ 0 = 0 × (1/0) = 0, with all other possible alternatives having been rendered impossible.
With a legacy car maker, the service centers are independent (sort of). They have phone numbers, they answer the phone, and they want your business. If your car is drivable but needs a part, you can ask them to order it, and they will do so. Tesla service centers do not answer the phone, do not answer email, and generally could not care less about you unless you have an appointment made on the app. And they do not reliably answer messages sent via app. And, while their people might notice that they don’t have a part a day or two before your appointment and tell you this (by in-app message) and advise you not to bother bringing your car in, the automated workflow part of their app does not understand this, and there is a chance that you will get stuck and your car will never get fixed.

You can bypass this process to some extent by walking into the service center without an appointment, hopefully getting a friendly person, and having them ask you to make a service appointment while you stand there (using the app on your phone) so they can then log in, find your service appointment, and attempt to get the system to let them order parts while you stand there (a process that may or may not require a tiny amount of actual technician time because, while Tesla has all kinds of telemetry, this telemetry does not integrate at all with the system by which service centers decide what parts are needed).

You’re making such an absurd comparison in situations. The death of your own family has an immediate and extreme impact on you personally.

99% of what you see on the news you would never know happened if it wasn’t presented to you.

And I’m not saying not to care. I’m saying put big things into perspective. You don’t need to become catatonically depressed because the US changed its foreign aid in a way that you would never know about unless presented to you.

As I write this I’m thinking about one of my best friends, who literally has been so depressed because of world news he reads on Reddit this year that he can’t get out of bed, stopped going to work and got fired. There are appropriate and healthy levels to care about things.

No, they don't. Contracts are enforced by the threat of the state's monopoly on violence. If the US goes bunk, who exactly are you going to to get your money? The courts are bunk too.

Even if the government exists, if Trump and Musk hold the payment system and you somehow get a judge to tell them to pay, they can just say no. Then what? Are you going to go Rambo? They hold a monopoly on violence and imprisonment.

This is why government's need to be set up with so many layers of indirect power and checks against direct power. this is why the military (should) have no role in governance.

Red Hat Developing "F-UKI" as Their Newest Open-Source Project
I think the burn-it-down camp is better described as true believers in free-marketism, and they genuinely expect business to be booming and things to work great when they've cut back on government functionality.

DOGE acts different. It seems to me DOGE is about crashing the US economy and/or world economy to attempt wild and radical Silicon Valley theories about alternate societies. As such, its actions are inclined to ruin the fortunes and the business of the free marketeer camp, because those folks are functioning in the real world and have businesses, employees, and pay those employees in dollars.

So I don't think the 'burn-it-down' camp should favor DOGE. It is in no way their ally and is there to ruin them, in order to rebuild a society upon somebody else and leave 'em ruined. It's pretty plain to see DOGE's opinion of those people based on its attitude to H1B visas, for instance.
