Nice writeup, but it's kinda meaningless to consider import statements when comparing LOC as they're written for you in both C# and Kotlin. Also, just because the default code style doesn't like glob imports doesn't mean you have to roll with it - Kotlin isn't like Go where there's One True Style and everyone is expected to follow it. You can just turn on import globbing and optimization. That would presumably cause LOC to be much more similar.

Are the demographics of gun sales going to suddenly shift dramatically? We are evidently deep into 'tree of liberty' stuff.

We have been the most well-armed nation in the world for less actual material reason than most countries in the world have ever had. Not being disappeared into a concentration camp indefinitely seems like a justification for lots of people to go down fighting.
Go look at their past blog posts. OpenAI only ever benchmarks against their own models.

OP didn’t say fair, they said the rich “don’t pay much.” In America, the rich pay like half the Treasury’s till. It should be more. But that’s a separate question.
Serotonin can decrease IL-17 production, and IL-17 is highly elevated in depressed patients. Inflammation is elevated in depressed patients more generally, but baseline IL-17 levels specifically appear to be a good predictor for antidepressant response[1]. Anti-depressants are pretty much universally anti-neuroinflammatory.

I'm just pointing out that my comment was about the list provided by the commenter above and "most" was about that list rather than all of PKD's work. What you refer to as "pedantic", I consider precision and talking about what's being discussed; someone asks "are these his titles", the answer was "yes. most of these are". Nothing more, nothing less.

Are there any benchmarks or someone who did tests of performance of using this long max token models in scenarios where you actually use more of this token limit?

I found from my experience with Gemini models that after ~200k that the quality drops and that it basically doesn't keep track of things. But I don't have any numbers or systematic study of this behavior.

I think all providers who announce increased max token limit should address that. Because I don't think it is useful to just say that max allowed tokens are 1M when you basically cannot use anything near that in practice.

Life is risk. Compared to journeys undertaken by those in the past, this trip had an extremely minimal chance of disaster. I mean, the guy had a satellite phone! Unless he literally crashed his bike and died on the side of the road, the worst outcome here was a big bill from emergency services when they had to come rescue him from somewhere.

I rode my bike around Lake Erie back in 2007 without even a smart phone. I didn't have a map of places to stay, I just scoped out surreptitious camping sites mostly if I didn't happen past a campground at the right time of day.
Main takeaways:

- Coding accuracy improved dramatically

- Handles 1M-token context reliably

- Much stronger instruction following

o1-pro at $200/month isn't holding up very well compared to Gemini 2.5 Pro at $20/month, for instance. It offers similar benchmark performance at perhaps 10% of the speed.
The Judiciary can deputize anyone to be their Marshals, if the executive prevents the existing Marshals to faithfully follow legal court orders.

If that fails, the Judiciary could also in theory declare the executive in breach of their oaths and urge the military, state and other federal officials, and the public at large to follow their own oaths to the Constitution.

But at that point it’s just a civil war with more legitimacy. It’s still the right move for the court to make in the situation where they can no longer force the executive to follow the law.
El Salvador's government has stated they have no intention to ever release inmates from CECOT—it's permanent.

They have no rehabilitation programs and do not intend to establish such. There is no intent that the prisoners ever leave.

The plan with these US-sourced prisoners may be different from the ones El Salvador put there themselves, but apparently that's entirely up to Bukele now.

"White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller also chimed in, saying: "So it's very arrogant, even for American media to suggest that we would even tell El Salvador how to handle their own citizens. As a starting point, as two immigration courts found that he was a member of MS-13," "

Now that the reality is staring them in the face, suddenly folks want to know "what can we do?" Well, I'll tell you exactly what you can do:

Nothing.

I want to make this abundantly clear: you cannot undo this damage. You cannot roll back this clock. You cannot go backwards to a time before our elected leaders annihilated the global trust in American Empire, Business, and Institutions in favor of authoritarian ideals. We have had over thirty years of clear warnings about the outcomes of our policies, and nobody gave a fuck.

The Old World is Dead (https://green.spacedino.net/the-old-world-is-dead/), and you cannot get it back. What we can do now, is move as quickly as possible to distance ourselves from the failed American state, its authoritarian regimes, and the sycophant companies and entities that enabled it. That means ditching American media, American goods, American services, and American capital. It's going to mean ostracizing an entire country and its people, and accepting the suffering that will bring until a new country (or countries) arise from its ashes, willing to cooperate on the global stage once more.

The only bright side is that countries who open their doors to persecuted minorities from America (LGBTQ+, non-white, neurodivergent, the disabled) are likely to reap immense brain gains as a result. America has failed, but the new world order has yet to be established - so if you want your country to have a seat at the table, now is the time to hoard (ex-)American talent and integrate them into your own society.

That’s not true. I’m a layman and 4.5 is obviously better than 4o for me, definitely enough to matter.
TFA states “the researchers used a social table, which categorizes people by social position along with associated incomes” to estimate Roman and Han Gini coëfficients. The Gini being calculated for that era isn’t meant to be compared to the modern metric because it’s a different measure; the researchers were careful in couching this in a way the article is not.

2 years ago, I rode solo from Santa Fe to Seattle (about 1600 miles). The ride crossed some of the emptiest terrain in the lower 48 states of the USA. I have done several significant bike tours in the past, have travelled throughout the west in a powered vehicle and generally know how to look after myself in the wilderness.

I fully expected to face several significant sections where risks where high, notably from lack of water but also just general remoteness.

The reality was quite different. Just the distribution of gas stations meant that water supply was rarely a problem (though I did have a fancy australian 4 liter bottle on my bike and water bladder on my trailer). There was one day when I came close to running out and that was a little scary, but tiny sips and another 12 miles got me to a gas station.

But it wasn't just gas stations. There are not many places in the lower 48 where you can go 40 miles without passing some sort of human habitation if you're on a paved road. The Mojave and parts of Nevada might be an exception. I didn't need to get help from any such places, but I was always aware that I was passing by them.

In addition, sure, some of the most back- of the backroads I took got very little traffic, it was still the case that there would be at least a car every 2 hours or so.

My point is this: if you're travelling on paved roads in the lower 48, you are extremely unlikely to die from mistakes arising from unpreparedness. You might suffer a bit, but you will encounter someone who is very likely to be willing to help you.

One thing I would say, however: in years and decades past, I would never have had any hesitation riding or walking down a farm/ranch driveway if I needed water or help. News events over the last few years involving shootings of "strangers" in driveways now make me extremely reluctant to do such a thing. I contemplated this often on that ride, and if that situation had arisen, my plan was to stay on the road and make as much noise as I could before being OK'ed to cross their property line. A sad change for me, and for the country.
Trump is never seeing the inside of a cell. He has neutered every agency that would issue real justice. That’s how far gone the US is.
The increased context length is interesting.

It would be incredible to be able to feed an entire codebase into a model and say "add this feature" or "we're having a bug where X is happening, tell me why", but then you are limited by the output token length

As others have pointed out too, the more tokens you use, the less accuracy you get and the more it gets confused, I've noticed this too

We are a ways away yet from being able to input an entire codebase, and have it give you back an updated version of that codebase.

Hey! Co-founder of Infisical here.

I'd say SSH certificate-based authentication is implemented widely at big tech and larger enterprises (tons of sources on it) but hasn't received the same mainstream adoption as SSH public key authentication because the administrative experience to set it up can be quite cumbersome despite how much benefit it provides. Put differently, there's always been a tradeoff in terms of configuration effort and benefits reaped.

With Infisical SSH, we've tried to abstract away as much complexity as possible and give folks the ability to implement a SSH certificate-based access scheme across infrastructure with minimal administrative overhead.
I did a bike tour way back when, I really liked using a BOB trailer. It kept the weight off the bike, so when you weren't going uphill, you almost didn't notice it was there. My bike was clean though, only water bottles on it basically.

whoah. I accused no one of lying. It is amazing how many people mix up this basic idea: Saying something that is incorrect is not the same as lying about it.
Yeah, people keep repeating that like a broken record lately, it smells like Rust to me.

No one is claiming it was built for today's processors, just that it puts less obstacles between you and the hardware than almost any other language. Assembler and Forth being the two I'm familiar with.

The government thus far refuses to even admit there is a contract, let alone if it applies to the prisoner in this case.

The fact that they're raising the price for the mini models by 166% is pretty notable.

The other day on here, I likened this to taking a bunch of steps toward a cliff, then jumping off, and then asking "what can I do to stop this?!"

We're in the "free-fall" portion now. All we can do is wait and see how far we fall before striking the ground. The time to stop it was during any of the steps we took toward the cliff's edge.
If he was being held under that contract, then it wouldn't be correct for the DoJ lawyers to say he's outside of US jurisdiction. But they keep claiming that he's under El Salvador's jurisdiction. They say they can't ask for him back, it's out of their hands.

That's fundamentally incompatible with the idea that El Salvador is holding him at their direction and under a limited time contract.
I have a medium-sized typescript personal project I work on. It probably has 20k LOC of well organized typescript (react frontend, express backend). I also have somewhat comprehensive docs and cursor project rules.

In general I use Cursor in manual mode asking it to make very well scoped small changes (e.g. “write this function that does this in this exact spot”). Yesterday I needed to make a largely mechanical change (change a concept in the front end, make updates to the corresponding endpoints, update the data access methods, update the database schema).

This is something very easy I would expect a junior developer to be able to accomplish. It is simple, largely mechanical, but touches a lot of files. Cursor agent mode puked all over itself using Gemini 2.5. It could summarize what changes would need to be made, but it was totally incapable of making the changes. It would add weird hard coded conditions, define new unrelated files, not follow the conventions of the surrounding code at all.

TLDR; I think LLMs right now are good for greenfield development (create this front end from scratch following common patterns), and small scoped changes to a few files. If you have any kind of medium sized refactor on an existing code base forget about it.
I did that as well, in 2023. Tried to use PEGs as much as possible. Have only good memories of the PEGs, but have not had much reason to use them since. Janet+PEG is definitely something I will consider for future projects whenever I need to parse something. Even for something that would otherwise be just a small regular expression I think writing a PEG instead may make some sense for readability.
> Through the entirety of human history you'd keep working for the same employer for your entire life

This is... not true. It's so not true I don't even know where to start rebutting it. But for a start, most of human history you were either hunting and gathering for yourself, keeping a flock for yourself, or farming land for yourself. "Employment" even as a concept is a pretty new concept on the scale of human history.

Cool. Once the linked TS issue is resolved it will be able to resolve from files too which is great
I agree that OpenAI is not technically a single point of failure because if it were to disappear, then all the companies that depend on it could simply switch to Gemini or Deepseek or Llama, etc. It's been well established that they have no moat and there are no significant barriers to switching.

I think the author is essentially using OpenAI as a synechdoche for the entire AI industry. Essentially every AI company is reliant on frequent, massive cash infusions to stay alive, and if the money starts drying up for OAI, it will dry up for everyone else as well. The author persuasively argues that OAI will need ~40B per year to stay alive through the end of the decade. Let's assume that the whole industry combined will need something closer to 100B. Assuming that faucet will stay open that long is seems pretty crazy to me.
What's true is that Trump's response here shows the mental gymnastics you're referring to are superfluous. The facts, laws, due process, etc. simply don't apply anymore.
Oh, ok. But it's still quite telling of their attitude as an organization.
How's it compare against e.g. cursor?
Yes, confirmed by citing Aider benchmarks: https://openai.com/index/gpt-4-1/

Which means that these models are _absolutely_ not SOTA, and Gemini 2.5 pro is much better, and Sonnet is better, and even R1 is better.

Sorry Sam, you are losing the game.
>Calling different opinions a low IQ take

I dont read it to imply like that.
LLMs fundamentally have the same contraints no matter how much juice you give them or how much you toy with the models.
They are actively enshittifying search and YouTube. So if these things are good for society, and Google is making them worse , it feels like we shouldn't be giving them too much credit.
There's a separated bike/pedestrian path on the Dumbarton Bridge, although that's south of SF. (When I was working at Sun Microsystems nearby, I saw the pedestrian path and randomly decided to jog over the bridge. I discovered that the bridge is a lot higher in the middle when you're jogging than when you're driving, so there was a lot of uphill.)
I like how Nano matches Gemini 2.0 Flash's price. That will help drive down prices which will be good for my app. However I don't like how Nano behaves worse than 4o Mini in some benchmarks. Maybe it will be good enough, we'll see.
Very cool.

It would be nice if it tied the format in a bit more to the schema and data being shown, but that is a very minor gripe given how nice a tool this is.
Of these, some are mostly obsolete: GPT-4 and GPT-4 Turbo are worse than GPT-4o in both speed and capabilities. o1 is worse than o3-mini-high in most aspects.

Then, some are not available yet: o3 and o4-mini. GPT-4.1 I haven't played with enough to give you my opinion on.

Among the rest, it depends on what you're looking for:

Multi-modal: GPT-4o > everything else

Reasoning: o1-pro > o3-mini-high > o3-mini

Speed: GPT-4o > o3-mini > o3-mini-high > o1-pro

(My personal favorite is o3-mini-high for most things, as it has a good tradeoff between speed and reasoning. Although I use 4o for simpler queries.)
Watch out, H1Bs. If your motherland is ever unjustly bombed, exploited, extorted, invaded, molested or pillaged, protesting it may end in your arbitrary deportation even if you're a naturalized citizen. The IDF killed your family? Your parents live in Ukraine? The end goal is to prevent you from even mentioning it within American borders. Nobody else is ever supposed to know.

You will be exposed to injustice, and it will make you question your righteous decisions out of fear. This rebranding of patriotism has been a long time coming.
