I looked at the trails (lists of passages) and wondered whether it would be cheaper to build these lists by clustering passage embeddings, rather than having an LLM construct them.

Try one of the models with good vision capabilities and ask it to output code using build123d.

Not true. It depends on the pathogen.

You need to add sanitizer to the wash cycle, not just detergent.

I like Gemini for "architect" roles, it has very good code recall (almost no hallucinations, or none lately), so it can successfully review code edits by Claude. I also find it useful to ground it with Google Search.

Gemini's context is very long, so I can feed it full files. I do the same with Claude, but I may need to start from scratch various times, so Gemini serves as memory (and is also good that Gemini has almost no hallucinations, so it's great as a code reviewer for Claude's edits).

A combination that works nicely to solve bugs is: 1) have Gemini analyze the code and the problem, 2) ask it to create a prompt for Claude to fix the problem, 3) give Claude the markdown prompt and the code, 4) give Gemini the output from Claude to review, 5) repeat if necessary

Thanks for the reply, yeah, my interest was to test compatibility when we add support for Play Integrity to our app.

Is there a GrapheneOS image for use with Android Emulator? I want to test an app on it but got no physical Pixel device.

I've noticed 4o uses a lot of emojis, and, in general, is very enthusiastic. I find it funny. If I want a more formal bot, I switch to one of the o3 family.

Perhaps I disagree on the following:

> There’s no customer support, chatbot, or extensive documentation.

I've seen many vending machines with customer support channels. If the machine takes the money but merchandise is not delivered, people will complain.

so this "vending machine" is a postcard drop shipping website?

It is mentioned on section "Limitations and Bloopers" of the page [0]:

> Combining evolutionary optimization with LLMs is powerful but can also find ways to trick the verification sandbox. We are fortunate to have Twitter user @main_horse help test our CUDA kernels, to identify that The AI CUDA Engineer had found a way to “cheat”. The system had found a memory exploit in the evaluation code which, in a small percentage of cases, allowed it to avoid checking for correctness (...)

Interestingly, o3-mini-high was correct when first thinking about it:

> Okay, we're asked how to get exactly 6 liters of water using an 12-liter and a 6-liter jug. The immediate thought is to just fill the 6-liter jug, but that seems too simple, doesn’t it? So maybe there’s a trick here. Perhaps this is a puzzle where the challenge is to measure 6 liters with some pouring involved. I’ll stick with the simple solution for now—fill the 6-liter jug and stop there.

Isn't that what happened to one of these guys? It is reported that one of them caught the fungus due to inspecting his attic (hadn't used the guano yet).

I assume must feces require prior treatment before they can be used as fertilizer.
