So you mean I can't run multiple frontier-level agents on my 9 year old 1080Ti?! That's ridiculous, seriously the pace of development has completely stagnated.

The Earth makes for a terribly imprecise clock, but it is the UT1 clock, or rather its defining component.

Somewhat the inverse, geodesy.

Yay! No more leap seconds to manage! This is going to make my life much easier.

Edit...scratch that, now I have to keep track of UT1-UTC as a separately continuously varying parameter provided by IERS instead of tzdata

What? How can you talk about the 1893 worlds fair and somehow fail to mention Tesla's "Egg of Columbus"? Shame.

That brings us back to requiring the user to present ID to the camera while doing a live-selfie, that would be a honest, belt-and-suspenders approach that's worth a look. Thanks for doing all the heavy lifting.

I noticed they also seemingly have a very difficult time managing to collect your chat logs for export/download...or rather, acknowledging that such a request was even made.

Can't read reads walls of text in Claude-ish prose? Sounds to me like you just have a SKILLS.md issue.

Should buy them about 1/3 of a GB200 server rack, good thing they scooped it.

Oh wow good thing OpenAI swooped in and scooped it. $1M? That should buy them about 1/6-1/3 of a Nvidia GB200 NVL72 rack...

New comment by neutrinobro in "Finite time blowup for an averaged three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation (2014)"

neutrinobro — Sun, 06 Sep 2026 05:53:52 +0000

Honestly, for practical engineering purposes not that much. The Navier-Stokes equations are an approximation for a mathematically ideal in-compressible fluid. Even ignoring compressibility, physical fluids in the real world are not continuous fields since they are composed of discrete molecules. However, for that small class of problems where an analytic solution can be found, then it means you can be confident in the answer (it won't blow up to infinity), and that there are no other alternate solutions to the same problem.

Basics yes, details no, and if you are deep in a mathematical proof the details matter. For example, I seriously doubt you will find an average 7th grader (or even a professional engineer outside of the nuclear power field) able to give you a good explanation or even definition of the void coefficient, and how it may interact with the fuel temperature coefficient of reactivity for a particular reactor design. Do you?

I don't think there is anything in this article that actually demands bra-ket notation (a state in some Hilbert space), that couldn't be more clearly written with standard notation for a Euclidean inner/outer product, but I suppose everyone has their own preferences for notation.

neutrinobro — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 16:44:36 +0000

You know its a doozy when the author writes a disclaimer at the top saying that bra-ket notation was chosen in order to make the algorithm and data structures clearer.

New comment by neutrinobro in "No LLM Code in Dependencies"

neutrinobro — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 18:25:39 +0000

I'm not sure that is the case in this instance. Certainly general writing is a lot more variable and harder to classify, and on the other extreme certain one-line code changes don't have enough information to say anything. However, a blob with a 500+ line code change and 200+ lines of comments is a dead ringer for some of the current class of LLMs. That isn't to say it this behavior couldn't be obfuscated, but some basic categorization could probably separate the majority of human authored commits vs. AI commits. Heck, you could probably train an AI to detect commit-style just by using pre-2022 code archives and existing known-to-be-AI edits/commits.

New comment by neutrinobro in "No LLM Code in Dependencies"

neutrinobro — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 18:12:08 +0000

Was this done by manually reviewing commit messages? I think it would be interesting/useful to have a tool that could use some basic heuristics about LLM generated code to detect code-blobs even if they are not explicitly called out in a commit message.
