not the greatest benchmark, bzip2 many times beats xz, gzip is competitive with zstd

maybe it used default compression levels, and the defaults are not "matched"

here you go, Michelin-starred chef:

> Marco Pierre White passionately defends chefs using microwaves. White dubbed microwaves “sensational things” and revealed he thinks they’re far better at preparing kippers than any other technique, like boiling or grilling

And another one:

> José Andrés, a renowned Michelin-starred chef, New York Times bestselling author and internationally recognized humanitarian. He listed the microwave omelet as his number one foolproof dish and called it the “best fluffy omelet in the history of mankind!”

3 centiseconds instead of 30 miliseconds, totally not a robot

interesting choice of word, I'm tempted to say something

sure, I was just talking about this Hollywood myth that the military is far ahead of everyone else, including in computing matters when we all know the military procurement birrocracy

the same military is using computers with Windows and Xbox controllers

and got upset when Anthropic didn't want to let them use their LLM

do you think quantum computers would help simulating this? I've seen contradictory opinions from the experts - it can in theory but not really in practice (even assuming sufficiently large quantum computers will be built)

yet there are problems there too we do not know the "true axioms of math", people disagree (math foundations)

biology is full of exceptions to exceptions to exceptions. like immunology

so there is no way to extrapolate/interpolate, anything which was not directly measured is basically unknown since it could be yet another exception

or in programming language, the worse spaghetti code you could imagine, full of feature flags randomly enabled inconsistently

> Recently it's been shown that there are real, physical processes which are undecidable

According to the currently known laws of physics. Which we know are incomplete/incorrect in several places.

there is no "software" that a lot of people want, yet nobody managed to create yet because they failed too due to it was being hard to implement (excluding AGI/ASI which is not really software)

pretty sure already millions of dollars (in inference costs) were already thrown at the Riehmann hypothesis

as the models get stronger, larger amounts will be thrown at it

imagine paying "just $1 bil" to go down in history as the company who's model solved the hardest/most famous open problem in mathematics. imagine the worldwide press headlines.

as they say, the Riehmann Hypothesis is the hardest way to earn a million dollar

everybody knew the problem was impossible to solve

then one day somebody new arrived and they forgot to tell him/her, so he/she solved the problem

of you ask it, surely it can run a "time" in its sandbox from time to time and see how long it worked for

if you need below 1 millisecond time accuracy, probably you know what you are doing and you wont mix NTP servers (and I think you need PTP for that)
