Benchmarks saturate faster than they can be constructed by humans. Isn't that a sign of an impending singularity?
I just turned my PTZ security camera into a VAR booth for my kid. Lawn (soccer) / Driveway (Floorball) / End. Live view, step back 10s, slowmo, frame step, scrubbing.

GLM 5.3 helped to root my camera so I could get proper endpoints for PTZ and stream. Claude built the api and frontend, hosted on Home Assistant.

For someone interested in this topic and happens to pass by, I can highly recommend a visit to Grimeton Radio Station[1], Sweden, which is still operational.

Coding agent that seems to beat Claude Code on SWE-bench at half the cost.

8/15 on SWE-bench Verified vs Claude Code's 5/15, ~$0.06/instance vs ~$0.12. Small sample, single repo, lots of caveats. But the direction feels right. Event-sourced reducer, no framework deps beyond the Anthropic SDK.

One could try:

> export CLAUDE_AUTOCOMPACT_PCT_OVERRIDE=50

Which will have Claude Code auto compact at ~500k window size.

One could argue that subscription based inference might differ from per-token billed API usage.

Not really.

> Z-mode means the front and rear wings are closed which generates more downforce for the corners. In X-mode, the drivers can open the flaps which will reduce drag and increase speed.

Great, thanks. This is already in my minimum requirements.

Basically I want to build it with focus on speed and work efficiency from start. To not bias myself too much, I will refrain from doing too much market research. First of all I'm building this for myself, and I'm guessing it might translate into at least a tiny market share.

I'm working on a desktop-based, performance- and privacy-first note-taking app that lets you quickly capture notes from any selected text using hotkeys.

I'm curious: what are your must-haves in a note-taking application?

Interesting. Time to create that Pomodoro app I've always wanted to do.

Show HN: I had Claude 3 Opus create a novel physics research paper from scratch [pdf]

https://ntrpnr.github.io/Quantum_Spacetime_Entanglement__A_Geometric_Unification_of_Gravity_and_Quantum_Mechanics.pdf

I started by asking what Einstein did not know, but we know today. Then asking Claude to act as Einstein and come up with a novel theory, based on this output. Then, iterating for several hours: outlining, writing chapters, improving, acting as a professor to review, acting on this feedback and adding citations. I know nothing about the math presented here.Cost: ~$10

This could possibly be attributed to survival bias. I.e. the individuals are more prone to post their results only after a successful attempt.
Re:Emptying the Dishwasher with Systems Theory on Monday March 13, 2023 @05:49AM (#35133396)
The article assumes that the dishwasher needs to be emptied of clean dishes before dirty ones can be put in. This is not the case. The clean dishes will take on the dirty state as soon as dirty dishes are inserted into a machine with clean dishes.

Thanks for these instructions.

Unfortunately I'm getting this error message (Win11, 3080 10GB):

> RuntimeError: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 3.00 GiB (GPU 0; 10.00 GiB total capacity; 5.62 GiB already allocated; 1.80 GiB free; 5.74 GiB reserved in total by PyTorch) If reserved memory is >> allocated memory try setting max_split_size_mb to avoid fragmentation. See documentation for Memory Management and PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CON

Edit:

>>> from GPUtil import showUtilization as gpu_usage

>>> gpu_usage()

Got this optimized fork to work: https://github.com/basujindal/stable-diffusion

As I understand it, anyone who owns that amount of ETH would probably be interested in contributing to the trust of the Ethereum blockchain.
