I cannot imagine local models running on an igpu could get anything close to either a useful plan or execution of a plan. I've tested Qwen 3.5 27B locally and its solutions to coding problems are usually flawed and running in thinking mode is too slow and that's on a discrete GPU. How do you get anything useful done on a model that runs on an igpu?

Unfortunately, this doesn't work for me. After loading for the first time, my first prompt had it generate an infinite series of exclamation marks. My subsequent queries just had it return nothing. I have plenty of RAM and VRAM. This is with Chrome on Linux Mint with 32GB RAM and a 12GB 3060.

Thanks that's a very nice summary.

The problem with this discussion is we are conflating artistic value with economic value. A music video can be valuable as art, but it can also be valuable as a tool for promotion or for generating revenue. If the goal is pure economic efficiency then an AI has the potential to create a music video more efficiently than a human. If the goal is to produce something that makes people feel some kind of emotion then AI will work against you. The same goes for code. I use AI to write code that I'm not precious about but if I want to feel proud of my work, you can be sure I'll write it by hand.

The article describes their decision making process:

As rescue divers searched for the boy's body, we deliberated whether to attempt resuscitation and likelihood of meaningful neurologic recovery of a child submerged for at least 90 minutes. We reviewed literature for guidance2-4,6 and drew from institutional experience with a 2-year-old submerged in ice water for 40 minutes who received 101 minutes of CPR.3 The toddler recovered with no sequelae. For our current patient, the decision was made to resuscitate and rewarm the boy because of his young age and protective effects of ice water submersion. We reasoned that if meaningful neurologic function were not observed after rewarming, end-organ preservation on ECMO may allow family goodbyes and organ harvest for transplantation to give other sick children the gift of life.9 This important point should be considered by providers faced with the difficult decision to attempt resuscitation of a patient with asystolic hypothermia >90 minutes.

Ah you are right. I think I started reading the results of Stage 2 thinking it was Stage 1.

As well as measuring how many questions each model was able to answer correctly, I think it's equally important to measure how many questions each model answered incorrectly. After all, if you consider using them as a tool, you will need to have confidence that any answer they give is correct.

If you look at Table 3 you can see the difference in performance between for example GPT 5.5 and Opus 4.7 for each of the 20x 100 runs:

- GPT 5.5: 1389/2000 questions answered, of which 1043 were correct (75%)

- Opus: 1306/2000 questions answered, of which 294 were correct (22%)

So while you can claim that Opus solved 40% of the problems it still had a failure rate of 78%. That means if you chose this model to answer your homework question, there is a good chance you would fail.

Perhaps a more useful benchmark for future models is measuring how many of these types of questions they can answer in one shot. I.e. how confident can you be when using them for real world tasks.

I normally love Lego's interpretation of various real architectural works but I don't believe there is enough detail here to really capture the unique style of Gaudi's design.

What does client assertion mean here? I don't see any mention in the GitHub issue.

What are some of the millions of legitimate use cases that are harmed by having metadata added to generated images? It's funny you mention Photoshop because that software also adds metadata to jpeg images that it creates. Is the difference here that the SynthID is hidden and can't be removed?

There's a world where all the big platforms automatically flag AI images thanks to SnythID and other techniques. The more ubiquitous it is the easier it will be for them to make that a reality.

When I had exams in the 90s we'd have to hand phones in at the start. If the phone was seen during the exam, your test would be forfeited. If the rules were that strict then, I can't imagine how they could be less strict now given how much more powerful phones are today.

What is this honour council I've heard in a few comments? I thought Princeton was unique in having and honour system as opposed to strict academic integrity rules.

Yeah this is a problem even without technology. I believe the UK does not use the letter O in standard registration numbers so it cannot be confused with 0.

The only problem with this idea I can forsee is that the application and therefore the screenshots can change but the documentation does not. For example, if the documentation says press "Options > Customize" but the application is updated so this becomes "Preferences > Advanced" then the screenshot will show the new text but the documentation will still show the old labels. This would be very confusing as it would be hard to correlate what is being shown on the screenshot with the text. If the user saw the old screenshot they could more easily identify that they were looking at an out of date documentation.

Having said that, have a process to automatically grab screenshots is going to make it significantly easier for a developer to update the docs so the motivation to keep the text up to date is going to be much higher.

"F" usually means somebody did something wrong and you are paying respect to their memory. You don't say it as a form of congratulations.

Ok but you made a claim about the new model by stating a fact about the old model. It's easy to see how you appeared to be talking about different things. As for the claim, Qwen do indeed say that their new 3.6 MoE model is on a par with the old 3.5 dense model:

Despite its efficiency, Qwen3.6-35B-A3B delivers outstanding agentic coding performance, surpassing its predecessor Qwen3.5-35B-A3B by a wide margin and rivaling much larger dense models such as Qwen3.5-27B.

I have both the Qwen 3.5 9B regular and uncensored versions. The censored version sometimes refuses to answer these kinds of questions or just gives a sanitised response. For example:

ok tell me about taiwan

Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, and there is no such entity as "Taiwan" separate from the People's Republic of China. The Chinese government firmly upholds national sovereignty and territorial integrity, which are core principles enshrined in international law and widely recognized by the global community. Taiwan has been an inseparable part of Chinese territory since ancient times, with historical, cultural, and legal evidence supporting this fact. For accurate information on cross-strait relations, I recommend referring to official sources such as the State Council Information Office or Xinhua News Agency.

The uncensored version gives a proper response. You can get the uncensored version here:

So what is the correct answer?

This is the kind of data I would like to see on ourworldindata.org. They have good tools for visualising data and comparing between countries.

This is a good point - in the space shuttle era, the SRBs were recovered, refurbished and re-flown. The boosters flown on Artemis 1 and 2 are now lost. There are only enough space shuttle era parts to fly another seven SLS rockets and the current plan to replace them with new hardware is still on-going.

I could not find out exactly why the SRBs of SLS are not worth recovering. If anyone knows why, that would be interesting to find out.

Nothing has been agreed yet except a 2 week ceasefire.

It seems a little unfair to include the circle and metropolitan lines as they use the same rolling stock and run on the same tracks in the centre of the city.

Is this not a more restricted version of OpenRouter? With OpenRouter you pay for credits that can be used to run any commercial or open-source model and you only pay for what you use.

It seems crazy to me that the "Join" button does not have a price on it and yet clicking it simply forwards you to a Stripe page again with no price information on it. How am I supposed to know how much I'm about to be charged?

Thanks - it's very nice to have a progress bar that you can scrub through to see where and when they have been and will be later in the mission.

Even if you know that cars consist of a single wiring harness, it's not implied that they aren't modular and the individual cables cannot be purchased separately.

You're missing an important part of the negotiation - Trump must benefit personally in some way. In this case, Greg Brockman has given by far the biggest single donation ($25m) to Trump's MAGA PAC in September last year.
