The last and most important moment was not clear at all. I wonder why they had to cut the video right there and not let it extinguish the fire and stand tall on the landing platform as SpaceX has done all the time. Even Blue Origin showed the final moment very clear with the explosive riveting.

It said “3D-looking Rubrik cube”. Maybe your cube looks different but I’m pretty sure for everyone else, the GPT result doesn’t look like a 3D-looking Rubrik cube.

And I wonder if somebody has tried with the available galactic data and see if the genetic programming can come up with a better formula than MOND or Einstein's general relativity.

For simple problems as Kepler's law, a quick detour on Desmos will show a perfect fit for power law instantly. In general, there are many important criteria for a better curve fitting (for ex. independent, normal distributed residuals), not just R, so I hope the author has/will incorporate them into the search to create a more robust result.

Medical and long-term care expenses outweighs by a large margin the loss of consumption or tax revenue for retirees, especially for a welfare state like Germany. Many studies in Germany have showed exactly this constellation of cost-benefit.

When people came to the country to work then retire somewhere else, isn’t it not a net benefit for Germany? Less burden on the social net, healthcare system etc.

So what the Germans did is right, not wrong!

While attribution is a strong weapon in fighting malicious software, persevering the ability to install and run anonymous software is essential to fight authoritarian regimes and corrupt systems. If we accept that only signed, permitted software can be installed and run on users’ phones, democracy and our freedom are doomed. Regardless if it is in the West or the East, or it’s against an AI overlord.

A model that can ask questions or ask for help when in doubt is indeed a major feat. None of the current frontier models can do that.

Although I can see that some people perceive “China’s model“ as a bad connotation, it’s simply the truth. So face it.

At this point, I think open weights vs proprietary models is a misnomer.

First, we can not be sure the next release will remain open weights as Qwen 3.7 has showed.

And second, they are all Chinese models. So instead of open weights, perhaps Chinese AI models is a better word choice.

IMO, using AI to assign keywords to a broader group of strict synonymous keywords would make the comparison much more helpful.

Because in general we want to know the trend of categories more than of a word, asking for “auto pilot” for ex. should include “self driving”, FSD etc.

Is moving many drones in a formation so truly difficult? I’ve seen drones in formation all the time for drones show and fireworks. Hundreds and even thousands of them, and most likely they are not remote controlled but programmed to do so.

Why was the account painted as something extraordinary?

You forgot that the SAT requirement is not exclusive but an additional data point. While I agree that it could narrow the path for truly good employees, I’d argue that an additional data point like SAT (+ GPA) could tell the employer a lot about consistency of the applicants. Or at least an interesting talking point (“I see you got a very high SAT score but your GPA was lower, what happened?”), if they care.

I think it could serve the purposes of hiring fresh/young graduates. However, it’s still weird if they requested it for people already 5-10 years or more in the industry.

Searching and seizure of your laptops, including your personal phones without a probable cause or warrant.

Compel you to reveal your secrets, including your passwords by threatening to arrest and detain you without legal proceedings for an unspecified period.

Deny your basic human rights, particularly at the borders, especially if you aren’t a citizen.

And more.

5% is very low probability to get a hit. I tried with all ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Grok but they all answered correctly :’(

Too sad, I want to have the fun.

How it’s price dumping if they give you the model to run free on your own hardware? Follow this logic, are not all OSS price dumping and should be blocked as well? I remember Steve Ballmer once called for that!

I’m pretty sure the digital lords like that proposal a lot. Not so much about the serfs themselves, though.

Not just Sander, Trump expressed his wish to exchange concessions and privileges for share in AI labs, too. Which is IMO even more problematic.

These games are so far outside the normal training corpus and purposes of the AI, I think different promtings could bring vastly different results.

Too bad the author didn’t let the playground open for anyone to try their hand on it.

Yes, it’s fun and it could justify the conclusion “each model for its task”. But are coding benchmarks not designed for the same purpose? The current benchmarks are certainly not perfect and hyper-tuned for the tests can always happen. However, I don’t think a battle royal result can tell much about the coding performance or how helpful the AI could be for me in my daily work.

I get what you mean. But for many people, AI coding is not about solving complex problems. No, they do it mostly themselves. AI coding for many is a productivity tool, where it helps you with mundane, but laborious tasks.

In my setup, I use a daily workhorse for such things. They should be fast, cheap and reasonably working well. I don’t expect it to be smart, but need it to follow instructions perfectly and handle tool calling well.

For architectural work or debugging help, I use the top models instead.

That works reasonably well for me with a low cost.

Recent incident with the Rio 3.5 model clearly shows that many coding models are specifically trained/fine tuned for the benchmarks.
