Same. Probably a few if-then statements would be enough to beat me :'(

I could hard code it to play the fried-liver and I'd still probably trip myself up occasionally.

"While unlikely, we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models."

There you go, the suspicion of the "concurrent work" (https://cims.nyu.edu/%7Etristanb/statement.pdf) mathematicians might not be that unfounded after all...

Buckmaster is actually implying that OpenAI spied on his chat logs and tried to speedrun his work and then tried to remove his co-author because he's an Anthropic employee?

Claude Code seems totally fine for me.

There's no way SQL is more unreadable than polars. IMO it's the other way around.

> There's no way SQL is more unreadable than polars. IMO it's the other way around.

I think on basic queries, SQL is really nice, but when stuff gets more complex, with a bunch of CTEs, let alone functions requiring loops, it becomes pretty obtuse.


I would say that it is easier to decompose polars (and all dataframe api) queries and to build them up from pieces than it is to do the same with sql. Any time I find myself writing more than five or so lines of sql, or especially building a sql string in parts with logic, I wish I had a dataframe api instead. But the reverse is also somewhat true, that simpler and explicit expressions are nicer with sql.

Good. Everywhere in the cities the speed limit in residential areas should be 30km/h and 60km/h for everything else. No need for higher speeds in dense urban environments.

Fun fact. In Lithuania there was a standat speed limit 60km/h. But we have this curiosity that if you exceed speed limit by less than 10km/h, there is no fine, just a warning. Basically "hey, could you please not"

Because of that de facto speed limit in streets was 70km/h. So to combat this, currently we have speed limit 50km/h in cities, which translates to de facto 60km/h


It's been the same in Germany. Literally everyone drives over the speed limit all of the time. 30km/h is somewhat stuck to when it's near a school but everywhere else people just drive faster because the fines were ridiculously low for the longest time.

Meantime in Sweden +8kmh gets you 100€+ fine and a free lecture how speeding kills people.

In Sweden it's commonly 30-50km/h for inner city streets, I think it's a good sweet spot, 60km/h has 44% more kinetic energy than 50km/h, and since most time lost in urban areas is due to stoppage (traffic lights, intersections, etc.) there's minimal change on travel times at the lower speed.

Seems some of them would get the key contact details "clipped" by the rolodex itself. Maybe a good design would put the phone number and address at the top.

Indeed! Interesting that leaving a bottom margin for Rolodex didn't become a design standard.

"Did you know that there _is_ actually a reason behind the blank space at the bottom of every business card? To get the full picture, we need to go back way before the smartphone age, when a bizarre device, known as the rolodex, ruled office desks" — some blogger in a parallel universe, probably.

I mean no offense but these pelicans are a bit tiresome and a very meaningless benchmark. There's no real difference between any of these svgs across models and model versions anymore.

If everyone agreed with you, the comment would disappear near the bottom of the thread

I like the benchmark. Yes, it's near saturation for SotA models, but still quite good to show where smaller models stand in relation to SotA

In this instance, I see a great image, but consistently clipping mudguards (both in 3.8 flash and 3.7 flash)

If only it were true that things that are tiresome are unpopular. But witness "6 7", "first post", ... remember the "in soviet Russia" jokes on Slashdot"? It seems like there are a subset of people that simply don't get tired of tiresome things.


It is more fun than serious at this point. Don't overthink it :)

Congratulations, you're this thread's "pelicans are tiresome" comment - it's part of the Hacker News tradition at this point.

(Next up is the comment saying that the labs are clearly training for the benchmark.)


The labs are clearly training for the benchmark.

This has been addressed endlessly, for a few years now, and is just as much of a trope as "this benchmark is useless".


it's a tradition

Love that documentary.
