trick-or-treat··on Epoch confirms GPT5.4 Pro solved a frontier math open problem
> the model is summoning those patterns at inference time.

You can make that claim about anything: "The human isn't being creative when they write a novel, they're just summoning patterns at typing time".

AlphaGo taught itself that move, then recalled it later. That's the bar for human creativity and you're holding AlphaGo to a higher standard without realizing it.

They won't repeat numbers because that might make you mad. I tried with Gemini 3.0 to confirm.

Not if you consent to it first. But you should probably agree on a safe word.

Most deployment platforms will do this for you for free. You're talking about specifically unmanaged Wordpress hosting I think.

A lot of it comes from street view. They literally drive by and take pictures of your store.

When strangers do that it's disrespecting boundaries. When family does it it's giving you a hard time / teasing.
trick-or-treat··on Create value for others and don’t worry about the returns
I produce software too but I starting producing food recently. I feel like it really takes edge off my AI-related anxiety. (I also realize I'm more rural than most of HN).
trick-or-treat··on OpenAI is walking away from expanding its Stargate data center with Oracle
No it's all about having the top model first and training time is what's crucial. OpenAI has already shown willingness to bleed money for the sake of brand and we can expect that to continue.

Well, the sun is always up in space, so yeah they're at least 3x better from that alone.

Ok but can't you say that about most non-street-level convictions? That they required some amount of complaining for a detective to do their job?

And Starlink / xAI is going to shoot them into space. We are simultaneously living in the future and the past.

Training you mean. Doing inference on last year's chip is probably ok, but training a frontier model on it is going to be a deal breaker.

This is fun, Playwright is a python wrapper for a node lib. So we have Next.js (full stack js/ts), with a Python backend (???), that uses a wrapper for a js/ts lib, all we need now is to shell out to node from inside that script and we have peak inception lol.
trick-or-treat··on Put the zip code first
Zip codes aren't numeric. They're strings. Just came to say this because I've been on 20+ projects that treated zip codes as numeric and had to reckon with it later.

I think cooler heads will agree that a middle ground where the content is available on the initial request is best. But what do I know /s
trick-or-treat··on What our DNA reveals about the sex life of Neanderthals
Amor Fati. The idea that we would carry ontological guilt for prehistoric sex acts that happened further up our family tree is just... masochistic. Not to mention that our ancestors would be both perpetrator and victim?

I understand the instinct to virtue signal but no good can come from this.
