0123456789ABCDE··on How Fast is Python 3.15?
the point of the benchmark is not to make `fib()` fast, but to exercise the code in ways everyone can understand. ex: `functools.cache` decorator would mostly show you how fast python `dict`s are — not very useful

glm-5.3-flash is very decent at reverse engineering malware, and that is a good thing
0123456789ABCDE··on What even is an OS now?
we could spend time answering that question or, as tptacek proposes, diy the solution because the app making app is right there, and answers to your input not Apple/Google's

isn't this just context shifting?

if one were to remove the expressions of excitement from the previous messages would it the model continue to demonstrate that same excitement scaling?

0123456789ABCDE··on Jev in 25 Lines of Python
after looking closer at the typesafe's jev, i want to point out that i misunderstood the significance of this jev model

it is the latency that makes it significant

so you can pick the choice with the highest probability?

the example uses an external api, and i don't think they return probabilities from those anyway.

0123456789ABCDE··on Jev Can't Be Calibrated
do you have a benchmark name and results we can compare to other models?
0123456789ABCDE··on Jev in 25 Lines of Python
this is such a trivial thing to do in DSPY, no one bothered to give it a name…

here's 7 lines

  import os
  import dspy

  lm = dspy.LM("openrouter/z-ai/glm-5.3-flash", api_key=os.environ["OPENROUTER_API_KEY"])
  jev = dspy.Predict('email:str -> choice:Literal["Legitimate", "Spam", "Phishing"]')
  email = "Payroll asks for your password on a non-company sign-in page."
  pred = jev(email=email, lm=lm)
  print(pred.choice)
there are other options, obviously. you can choose to give it some tools, maybe some reasoning stage before picking a choice, and that's on top of the "reasoning" the llm model already does api side

> IRC is not social media.

what is it then?

specifically: what is the medium in which IRC exists, or operates in? are the people using IRC networking with each other, perhaps socializing?

0123456789ABCDE··on Warez: The Infrastructure and Aesthetics of Piracy (2021)
> I skimmed through hoping to see examples of the “aesthetics” […]

aesthetics is an umbrella term for the "[…] norms and rules of participation, […] forms of sociality, and […] artistic outputs." — think: sociology, culture, customs, and less visuals. reading chapter five (aesthetics), perhaps unsurprisingly the chapter where the author dives deeper into the topic, is certainly advised.

okay, ignoring the oxymoron with which you end you comment, what do you think folks plan for when they put on a life jacket to enter a recreational boat?

yes, the github contributions heatmap is known to be open for manipulation. folks will use it to draw art by backdating commits.

if i have it right, only commits can be manipulated, other contributions should be safe — i don't know what is possible for orgs moving old discussion archives into github, see python's issues for reference

ignoring the TOS angle

unsafe code is likely being used as in unsafe rust, which is different from exploit code

certainly the wording seems to leave the door open for potentially compromised code as in supply-chain attack credential stealer or prompt injection data exfiltration, but sprites are not marketed as sandboxes for malware detonation

no.

neither of the observations gp made is dependent upon the definition of machine, nor is it dependent on the inclusion of the examples you brought up in that definition.

gartner magic quadrant charts don't break the natural expectation of left-to-right, and bottom-to-top, increasing values, this charts from cursor post do.
0123456789ABCDE··on CursorBench 3.1
gp's argument is that cheapness is a construct, derived from the real, and natural, cost parameter which most people are naturally accustomed to interpreting as increasing from left to right. cheapness would then replace the cost label, and feel natural. alas, this is not what we have here.
