Yes. You’re complaining that Gemini “shits the bed”, despite using 2.5 Flash (not Pro), without search or reasoning.

It’s a fact that some models are smarter than others. This is a task that requires reasoning so the article is hard to take seriously when the author uses a model optimised for speed (not intelligence), and doesn’t even turn reasoning on (nor suggest they’re even aware of it being a feature).

I asked the exact prompt to ChatGPT 5 Thinking and got an excellent answer with cited sources, all of which appears to be accurate.

Tailwind Plus (the commercial product) is like buying an off-the-shelf template. It’s just a collection of themes and pre-built components — useful for devs who want to get started quickly on a project, but it’s cookie-cutter and can easily be replicated by anyone with Tailwind itself.

This just proves my point, you call this a “hot mess” whilst completely misunderstanding what it’s even used for.

The Iterator interface isn’t even used in the comment you first replied to.

> Interface for external iterators or objects that can be iterated themselves internally

Note “external iterators or objects”. The Iterator interface is not exactly everyday PHP, it’s a specialist utility for making classes iterable so they can be accessed like arrays. Most developers will rarely use it directly, and it’s not being used in the parent comment’s example either.

Iterating over something requires knowing where you are in the sequence, so of course you would need to implement a method to get the current position of the iteration.

I have a variety of automations running which print actionable tasks to my receipt printer via a Raspberry Pi. It’s nice having a real-life ticket I can take hold of.

One thing to be aware of if you’re handling receipts frequently: make sure to buy phenol-free thermal paper. Phenol is toxic and some types of it are banned in certain countries.

We can literally watch Terence Tao himself vibe coding formal proofs using Claude and o4. He doesn’t seem too disappointed.

Each step (though a little confusing to parse) does make sense in context.

> The maximum element of the vector output by the Softmax function approaches zero as the input vector size increases. Transformer-based language models rely on Softmax to compute attention scores, causing the attention distribution to flatten as the context size grows. This reduces the model's ability to prioritize key information effectively and potentially limits its length generalization.

> To address this problem, we propose Scalable-Softmax (SSMax), which replaces Softmax in scenarios where the input vector size varies. SSMax can be seamlessly integrated into existing Transformer-based architectures. Experimental results in language modeling show that models using SSMax not only achieve faster loss reduction during pretraining but also significantly improve performance in long contexts and key information retrieval.

> Furthermore, an analysis of attention scores reveals that SSMax enables the model to focus attention on key information even in long contexts. Additionally, although models that use SSMax from the beginning of pretraining achieve better length generalization, those that have already started pretraining can still gain some of this ability by replacing Softmax in the attention layers with SSMax, either during or after pretraining
