Hi, other author here. I think the models converged on shallow/greedy strategies that improved performance up to a point, but are ultimately shortsighted, especially for harder puzzles.

Something interesting I noticed in the responses was that for shorter puzzles it would make deductions, building up a set additional "clues" for itself, before answering the question. However, for harder puzzles with more clues it would often merely repeat all the given clues and then try to directly answer the questions.

Maybe some form of curriculum learning would help, starting with easier puzzles and progressing to more challenging ones.

Other ideas to explore include:

- Distilling responses from stronger models
- Encouraging exploration with entropy regularization or reward shaping
- Training from base models instead of instruct models, like DeepSeek-R1-Zero
I've been able to edit PDFs (95%+ of them) accurately for the past 10 years...
What did the French revolution do to the rich? The French revolution was a bourgeois revolution that gave more power to the bankers, merchants, factory owners, etc. who had previously lacked rights. The san culottes ultimately didn't get ahead.
So, the only thing that stopped AI from learning from all our science and taking over the world was the difficulty of converting PDFs of academic papers to more computer readable formats.

Not anymore.

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I was immediately put off when I saw "AI-native" on that page.

I don't want my incident management system to be AI anything. But then I thought maybe I'm being unreasonable so I checked out https://betterstack.com/docs/uptime/incident-silencing/ which was the first thing I found that was AI related.

Frankly, the thought of some black box AI system deciding when to silence incidents utterly terrifies me. I want to be absolutely 100% certain that I'm receiving all my alerts. If they're too noisy or repetitive, it's on me and my team to improve the alert quality, not leave it to "AI" to figure out what to silence.
Are you suggesting these AI agents can write code 24/7 without a single error or getting stuck? In my experience (and I think plenty of others would confirm this), you're lucky if they can run smoothly for even 5 minutes without hitting some kind of problem that needs human intervention.
My take is:

GOOD: Language parsing.

BAD: Information retrieval.

We are now seeing the LLM is used to parse the question and retrieve information from elsewhere.

Before you would ask the LLM who the president of the US was and the LLM would autocomplete. Now the LLM constructs a query through a tool and searches the internet for an answer.

It parsed the entire internet to have enough data to learn about language, but you don't necessarily want to depend on what it learned, other than to parse the syntax of the user.
So an invoice attached to an email as a PDF is sent digitally ... those unfamiliar with PDF will think text and data extraction is trivial then, but this isn't true. You can have a fully digital, non-image PDF that is vector based and has what looks like text, but doesn't have a single piece of extractable text in it. It's all about how the PDF was generated. Tables can be formatted in a million ways, etc.

Your best bet is to always convert it to an image and OCR it to extract structured data.
This !

But I implemented Twitter and SMS accurate count thanks to all the comment, win/win!
Over the past 40 years I've become aware of a LOT of people who had difficulty staying engaged in self-paced learning sessions, especially pre-recorded. Without the dynamics -- questions and interactions -- that other students can pose (or you can pose), it's tough to maintain your attention for a solid 50 or 90 minutes. Not that all courses must be in-person, but I'd there to be a mix, with more in-person opportunities for course material that needs Q&A and interaction and examples, like courses heavy in math or theory, or recitation sections.

The original question was asking what features have taken advantage of a NPU. Face ID was introduced with Apple's first "Neural Engine" CPU, the A11 Bionic.

You're confusing this with what features/enhancements new generations of NPUs bring, which nobody else was talking about. Everyone else in the conversation is comparing pre- and post-NPU.
66k/80k for income sounds like a median, whereas $2,715 sounds like a mean housing cost.

A quick search found between $1,500-$2,000 a month for median rent prices.
If you adjust for a $1,600 rent, your above person is left with 3k, before considering that all the other expenditures are absolutely insane.

Options:
- Live in a city, ditch the car. This gives you a $2,600 rent budget under the same other expenses.
- Eat less expensive food. $9,000/year (>$8/meal) for food for a single person is high. No takeout.

People like to pretend the situation is worse than it is - some people have it bad, but tighten your purse and live less lavishly. Work on getting a better job (if you need to or can), and when you make more money don't increase expenses.
Fair comment about BMW. So another data point ... Ford also supplied their F150 trucks with plastic oil pans for a number of years. Not sure if that's still the case. But an F150 material decision is going to factor in hard use and reliability. So it's not like this is an insane design decision.

I agree it's suspicious to replace a traditionally metal motor part with plastic, but there's plenty of this history we've gotten past. Consider that people freaked out when intake manifolds started to move to plastic. Now it's quite normal. Even on Japanese motors. The benefits besides cost and weight include the ability to model and mold more complex geometries.

The formal proof community is very interested in exactly this problem! It's not my specialty, but I believe that Lean (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_(proof_assistant)) is one of the very active communities.
Note that there are some significant non-Unix filesystems along the way. In particular, a few years later: "Reimplementing the Cedar File System Using Logging and Group Commit", Robert Hagmann, Xerox PARC. SIGOPS Operating Systems Review, November 1987.

That's the origin of the journaling approach used in post-FFS unix file systems through the 90s. (I don't count ext2 as "post-FFS", as it's basically FFS on a disk with LBA addressing)
One use-case is digitising receipts from business related travels for expenses that employees paid for out of their own pocket and which they are submitting pictures to the business for reimbursement.

Every time I read titles written like this I think to myself do you really have accurate data from that long ago to make this statement with confidence. Then it hits me that yes they do because it really wasn't that long ago and I'm now just old.
I mean you run that command locally. You aren’t ssh’d in, vim copies the file to a tmp location and you edit it, `:w` writes it back to the remote.

The title isn't misleading. Maybe it would be helpful if it included the date, but no company the size of Atlassian is going to shut down a product like Opsgenie without a window for people to migrate. This seems to be a fairly generous window.

This is not how therapy works. Although, tbf, it’s not hard to find a pseudotherapist who practices stereotypical bs.

What would you do to start with, with a guy like me

IANAT either, but mine would start with asking how I feel and then why. Then we’d talk about my vision of practical ways to stay afloat, the ways I maybe don’t see due to my focus, what exactly makes it hard to push through, in both known and never-tried situations. There would be some belief, avoidance, anxiety, algorithm, or a set of these. In CBT there’s a clear formalized method for each, which you can pick and work with until the next week or two. Examples are: logging your emotional responses, compiling a list of “musts”, start doing un-usual things, asking what exactly is wrong with something that seems bad.

That is, if my depression was on low. If on high, we’d address that first. Last time I pushed through it by following physical regime, a few supplements and lots of anger against it (depression can’t turn off my anger, ymmw as well as methods).
His suffering is a price they are willing to pay.
Some modems want to detect the line before they will work (voltage and/or dialtone), but if you can get past that with settings or a battery/etc, I'd think you can just listen and send audio on a plain wire and it should work.
To be fair: Reading the blog post, the main objective seems to have been to enable information extraction with high confidence for the academic sector (e.g. unlocking all these paper pdfs), and not necessarily to be another receipt scanner.
discord's search functionality has actually been incredibly useful. Many forums are notorious for having awful search. This is somewhat made up for by the fact that they're indexable and you can google search that forum instead.

There's also a wide spectrum between chat sites and forums. Threads-centric tools like Zulip can be amazing for a community like that. Some, like rocket.chat, are even search-indexable

EDIT: it was actually Zulip not rocket.chat that has the option to make channels public to the web
Video games used to be like this. Once you built the "gold master" CD/DVD/cartridge/etc it was out of your hands. It was kinda nice to have a concrete end to the project [1]. Nowadays, everything is on the 'net, you can send patches, dlc, etc and the notion of a game being "done" is murky.

[1] There was, however, one game I worked on where they had to pull the boxes from stores (delivered, but not yet for sale) and swap out the disk in order to release a critical fix that was discovered too late. Fun times (:

popularity isn't needed. But they are futher abstracted (by design) and it perpetuates this idea that RSS feeds need to be super techy to work.

>Also I don't understand how people liked IRC

same as RSS: decentralization. You control the platform. As is, you're stuck with Discord servers and any alternatives require you to leave discord. You get an IRC client and you can connect to anything that implements its interface. Which could theoretically include discord servers.

Nothing is wrong on the surface until discord does something stupid in your eyes and now you need to disconnect. Same trap as all the other big tech.

I wanted to apply OCR to my company's invoicing since they basically did purchasing for a bunch of other large companies, but the variability in the conversion was not tolerable. Even rounding something differently could catch an accountant's eye, let alone detecting a "8" as a "0" or worse.

Based on how search engines behave to day, not really. These days, you'll have to fight spammy forums who game SEO, reddit, stackoverflow, ML digested output,etc.. it is discoverable as in technically it is somewhere in the results, but people never see it. If google paid discord like they pay reddit and searched discord servers that allow for that, that might be a nice compromise.
I wonder if they could use a time-sharing approach. Instead of permanently shutting down instruments, they could run different sets, with a maximum of three at a time.
It worked perfectly for me with a simple 2 page PDF that contained no graphics or formatting beyond headers and list items. Since it was so small I had the time to proof-read it and there were no errors. It added some formatting, such as bolding headers in list items and putting tics around file and function names. I won't complain.
This story resurfaces every few years but the original post was on the /sci/ board in 2011. That was a loooooong time ago and although no one back then would have said 4chan was good (it was never good), it also doesn't surprise me it was originally posted there at that time. I don't think it would happen now.
I could tell what connection speed my modem was going to be by the sound of the handshake. There were distinct sounds for all the different modes.

I remember us getting our first modeum, it was 800 baud! Then we moved to 2400, 14.4, 33.6 and eventually all the way to 56k.
How do you define 99% accuracy?

I guess something like success rate for a trip (or mile) would be a more reasonable metric. Most people have a success rate far higher than 99% for averages trips.

Most people who commute daily are probably doing something like a 1000 car rides a year and have minor accidents every few years. 99% success rates would mean monthly accidents.
Haha, yea. When I was writing this blog post (we had already pushed to production) I came across that post when searching for sources to confirm my findings. Antonio and I were so surprised at the coincidence.

I think it takes a bit of a mindset shift. If your salary is $X, you can't start your expense plan with how much your apartment costs. There are expenses A. that are ironclad-mandatory, in that you must make them or you're really fucking yourself: Taxes and debt interest are examples. They need to come out of your salary before any other calculations are done. Your actual income (that you can spend) is $X-A. Then you have B. expenses that you have to pay, but you have at least theoretical control of by shopping around, like the cost of your apartment, cars, child care, groceries, and so on. Those come out next. Then, you have C. discretionary spending, everything left over. Often this is zero or negative :(

Too many people put retirement savings in bucket C, where it actually should be considered bucket A. It needs to come out before you even consider anything else. Your money left over after taxes, paying interest, AND savings, is what you have left to decide whether you can afford this apartment or that car.
The work of these two (Duane Blehm and John Calhoun) formed my initial opinion of the Macintosh. A fast monochrome environment where you could blit entire images as quickly as sprites. World class audio - Glider 4 had a twangy bass soundtrack and recognizable sounds for every little thing around the game environment. In 1991, coming from the TRS-80 and Apple II it was a revelation.

I believe Duane's About box in Stunt Copter even had an "OffScreen BitMap" button which laid out all the "sprites" in front of you.

That they are both Kansans and have a touch of the surreal in their respective titles also was not lost on me. Ended up reading the book, "PrairyErth," to understand Kansas better.

Something about the early Mac seemed to draw these folks. It attracted a different type of artist than the Amiga; slower paced, more surreal. If not for the Mac, I wonder if the world would have had Cyan/Myst.

Disboard is the biggest Discord search engine.

It is trivial to find servers with adult topics (BDSM) targeted at minors. It is trivial to find servers that combine those topics with problematic age ranges (like BDSM-themed servers with no ID verification, 'ages 14-28 welcome'). It is trivial to find servers with minors openly selling "content".

Disboard isn't Discord but these things aren't even being remotely "hidden", it is these servers' sole 'purpose'.
I was afraid you would suggest giving all the regulators malaria.
Teamspeak had a ton of friction. When I was playing FFXIV and made my discord account, someone literally just sent a link in the text chat of our Free Company, I opened it in browser, made an account and used it right there immediately. To timestamp this, it was the summer of 2015, a little under a decade ago, iirc.

Not sure about now, but back then Teamspeak meant installing an application, setting it all up, having someone in the Free Company (almost always more than the limit for a free server on TS at the time) pay for a server or self-host (even more friction). With Discord there was no debate or decisions, just one step: Click link, sign up.

Has anyone else ever encountered 3x5 cards which are punched and numbered along their perimeter?

Saw such a setup once where for each number was assigned a categorization different from the ordering, and for a given card, the matching hole would be opened up, then when searching a set of cards a rod would be inserted at the hole in question and lifted up and jostled, causing the matching cards to be revealed for inspection.

Nit! It’s a bit more historically accurate to say that MultiPaxos/Raft are later variants of VSR since Brian Oki’s VSR predated Paxos by a year (‘88 vs ‘89) and Liskov and Cowling’s revision of Brian’s work in 2012 predated Raft by two years (the papers are remarkably similar, but Raft makes concessions for the sake of presentation).
