Ive been doing codeforces, Rosalind, codewars and leetcode casually in my spare time to detox from heavy daily agent use.

Ive been relearning a ton that either over-reliance on llms caused me to forget, or just lost due to time.

Its been extremely fun. I really missed the feeling of thinking really hard and arriving at a solution.

I hope we dont lose this desire as a species.

The people who wrote this seem to be lacking in expertise, and its just a model benchmarking company..Whos every article is just hyperbole about llms.

Not sure why we're calling it a discovery, when they've literally been made before, by a human.

He's also trying to infer something about migrants here, he's just not willing to say it outright.

Sounds like someone who needs to lay off the X/twitter feed.

When I lived Norway, my gf at the time would look up the license plates of cars that annoyed her and could see how much debt they had on the car to make fun of them. Scandinavians are oddly very open with this type of personal info.
