<p>You didn't read my question, bc that excerpt doesn't answer, nor do they demonstrate<p>> how would this alleged difference (most likely bs) actually show up in reality?<p>Furthermore: so they admit it's bs but still placate it like its the next biggest thing ever ... alright<p>All I'm saying is I refuse to buy into it anymore – yet many on here still do, including ... you?</p>

<p>I dare anyone to convince me the benchmarks are 
not meaningless.<p>Wdym Opus 5.5 scores 14.7% higher than GPT Astra for Terminal Bench 4.0?<p>How would this alleged difference (most likely bs) actually show up in reality?<p>GPT Astra was literally the best model in the world by a margin until 1 hour ago or so.</p>

<p>I dont understand this reasoning at all.<p>You have direct access to the development of "the most powerful technology ever" and your choice is ... to run?<p>Makes this whole stmt somewhat questionable imho. Does get one a ton of attention though I guess...</p>

<p>I'm not sure your analogy holds, because here the optimization metric is clear and unanimous: every one wants max pass rate at min costs.<p>With the bicycle, some may prefer comfort, others speed, others offroad, etc., so it would not be obvious which one is "best".</p>

<p>> And the fact that all lengths are multiple of 600<p>I know this must somehow explain the giant numbers but I'm still not sure how precisely.<p>Counting in base 60 would make for much smaller numbers, no ?<p>For example, the number 16 in base 2 is 1111. but in base 10 it is 16. Ergo smaller base, larger number, and vice versa.<p>So did you mean to say they counted in units that are made of 1/600 of <i>our</i> solar years?
I think that would make more sense, putting their reigns between 31-72 years of our counting.</p>

<p>There could be a good technical solution to at least minimize the risk:<p>Instead of relying on the one-shot transcription, have the system double check key facts by asking the patient for confirmation:<p><pre><code>    "Can you confirm you've you taken psychoactive drugs before?" – "yes/no"
</code></pre>
Etc</p>
