Yes, you're probably right. Ipod nanos already started from ~150$ 20 years ago.

That would at the very least have to have Bluetooth (and at that point they might as well add wifi, since that is more or less the same modem).

That would make a damn nice 149$ apple music machine, slap some stripped down firmware on it, so they can argue why it only supports apple music streaming.

Does matlab these days do stuff like JIT operator fusing to avoid memory roundtrips and take advantage of FMAs?

off topic, but I feel this observation was quite early in feb' 2025: "LLM-generated code is useful in the general case if you know what you’re doing. But it’s ultra-useful if you can close the loop between the LLM and the execution environment (with an “Agent” setup)."

kudos

With the pi harness it just opens the browser (or gives you a link if you're on headless) and you sign on as usual.

Anything else would be inconsistent, wouldn't it?

True, but my pockets aren't deep enough to be the one who wants to figure that out in court.

MacBooks use regular soldered lpddr5(x) RAM. Same RAM as every other laptop manufacturer, they just use more lanes to achieve a higher bandwidth.

You talked about commercially deploying it. Of course nobody cares what you are doing on your own hardware for fun.

Yes? If you deploy the model and provide it on Openrouter (or elsewhere) you better have a license.

Maybe one could try to reconstruct very closely matched replay files?

Why not? It seems more important than ever that people know how to actually code, now that everyone can produce endless code of untested quality.

I feel like they should just publish the whole conversation at this point. What the hell is going on in that context window?

It's a lot easier for developers to target a known platform.

It's not a large prize though.

OpenAI spent many multiples of the prize money in just a few days to get there and even if one solves a problem in the traditional way, that person is most likely already an accomplished professor at a reputable university where a million dollars doesn't mean as much as the eternal fame that comes with it.

Nothing happens I guess. If the AI can't communicate its work or apply it to anything, it's useless and funding for those experiments will quickly dry up.

I wonder if it's the same with the sub 2 hour marathon which was broken this year (it certainly was with the 4 minute mile).

SQL is so ubiquitous and the use case so obvious, there's no way they have not already been tracking performance and benchmaxxing on SQL queries for years.

But I don't think openai will bother to release a competitor, the real threat is that anyone with a decent LLM and a harness to try a few queries will land at the same or a better query within minutes.

I would assume a lot of codex data goes back into training. A well steered session is extremely valuable data.
