I'd be interested to know when that Opus 4.6 baseline is from given their recent recognition of performance issues. Do you have a paper posted on this review?

These are the kinds of comments that make comments worth reading. Thank you!

There's another cheeky example of this where you select a pseudo-random seed that makes your result significant. I have a personal seed, I use it in every piece of research that uses random number generation. It keeps me honest!

One of the big problems I have with cursor is that it ignores the rules frequently. For example, working in the front-end it will sometimes totally ignore all the components that I have explicitly told it to use. Would this... fix that?

This article is great but it doesn't even talk about the assistant. The assistant is an LLM powered version of Kagi. It's been my daily driver for months and the productivity boost is incredible. I rarely ever use kagi's actual search functionality anymore unless I'm looking for something very niche. I love that you can also swap models. Happy customer here!

The Assistant product is incredible. It's been my daily driver (+Cursor), since September. I don't even bother with normal search results unless I really can't find something (like a specific GitHub issue that hasn't been cached yet)

I love that you can pin, raise or lower results from specific websites. They also set it up so you can see popular raise/lower and pins. It's wonderful. Trust me too, it's worth it. ~850 searches a month here.

Yes, you can ask it for small web results and they are mostly personal websites.

Linux desktop has come a long way. KDE, Gnome and newer shells that layer on top like Pop Shell are really a joy to use. I very rarely use Windows anymore except for gaming where there are still some compatibility issues. Steam has done great work here too. Battery life on a laptop is still an area where you might prefer to go the WSL route.

The product is great. I love that I can pin, raise or lower the importance of specific websites. I average about 800 searches a month, and I have only had to go to another search engine maybe once or twice a week. This product feels like what the web should be.

The good old airplane damage diagram came to mind immediately!

What did they use to build this site? I could have sworn I saw what looked like LaTex when it was loading?

Fractional scaling works well, but only when all your monitors are the same size. If you're a laptop user connecting to a differently sized screen it can be a challenge.

It's been a solid daily driver for me at work and home for the last 4 years. I would also be interested in knowing what you feel is completely broken. The window tiling system they came up with is really quite good.

A lot of companies are doing this. I wonder how many are doing it because they want to reduce head counts through attrition instead of layoffs?

Love this comment because it translates so well to any mentally taxing endeavor. Writing a long-running program? Set a few assertions up front so that it fails immediately before wasting your time. Think about those "failure" condition assertions up front and save your time on practically any experiment. Even chess players do this by surrendering early when they know a game has reached a conclusion.

Whatever you do, focus on a deep specialization. Find something you really love then become a profound expert in it. Education is absolutely critical in a world where you are either telling machines what to do or being told what to do by a machine.

S3, S4, R6, and reference classes. To be fair they are situational and not one size fits all. The stricter ones are mainly used in biostats where significant metadata makes more sense in OO. S3 is nice and easy, primarily just a list with dispatches. Everything else is less so.

I can't think of a PDF but there are images like this. "Lenna". There are also really famous datasets that are used for examples in similar ways (iris).

Alternative hypothesis: someone had a backdoor and didn't take their layoff well.

The last AirBNB I stayed at, I received a bad review. Their negative review stated, passively aggressively, that I had only completed "some of the checkout list items". The list of chores was 3 pages long and was provided after booking. They also charged me a $250 cleaning fee. Never again.

Data science too.

Some states release early and absentee data at the precinct level. Campaigners can glean a lot from this information, including modeling the likelihood that you have voted early or not based on your past vote history. With the exception of Utah (whose voter file is now opt-in), every state identifies which elections you have voted in.

Do stackoverflow next!

Warning for the uninitiated. Be cautious using this on a production machine. I recently caused a production system to crash because disk throughput was so high that it started delaying read/writes on a PostgreSQL server. There was panic!

The experience with the PopOS related pop shell is an honourable mention here with reasonable key defaults. You should try it if you haven't already, it's quite good.

I keep one as a back up and if soneone in my family needs, I'll give it to them. I have another whose motherboard is toast, so it's just sitting there. Can't decide if it's worth $800 to fix it.

Hello! I have been using PopOS which is a derivative of Ubuntu that comes with Nvidia drivers baked in. Setup on every XPS since 2018 (I buy a new one every year), has been about 20 minutes. Dell devices have excellent Linux support. Battery is a problem, I can get 5-7 hours in PopOS vs. 5-9 hours in Windows, depending on what I'm working on by using $ powertop --auto-tune and $ tlp start. Disabling touchscreen, and disabling cores directly also works extremely well when I know I need a longer battery life (9+ hours on 2021 xps with half cores disabled, running around 6-8 watts). PopOS also offers the ability to turn discrete graphics on or off which can also increase battery life.

Hyrum's law. How meta.

For me personally, this is exactly what I want. On days where I have meetings. It's a tablet for note taking. On days where I'm studying, it's a PDF reader either in 12.5" mode or 17" mode depending on the symbols. On days where I'm coding I would probably pair this with a g915 tlk and a second 15" portable monitor. That's a very reasonable workstation in a bag and wouldn't be heavy at all. The flexibility to be different types of devices in just one laptop is excellent. Where do I buy it?
