Next idea, build HackerNews, a website that features actual news from HackerNews.
How come there are no ads?
a single generation would still allow looping in the "CPU" because the instruction set can do it. The model is almost a Turing machine (except for the limit on memory)

EPA won't like the gas emission
anthropic + bun vs cloudflare + deno, could it be counter move for building from agent sandbox that runs on the edge?
The documentation mentions error code "frontier_llm": The request could assist the development of competing AI models.
I'm very curious how do they know what requests could assist competing AI models.
You either "improve performance" or "ship more ___", never both.

Hint for mouse users, press and drag on them to hear sound and see visual effects. Mouse X/Y coordinates are inputs.

This might be the killer app if latency is low enough.
I like VSCode server in general, but it's too memory hungry. It would crash Raspberry Pi (1GB) by eating up all the RAM.
Chinese and Russian space suits are almost identical in the photos!
I still enjoyed going through it, for what it is.
1. runjs promoting itself using music REPL as an example
2. author used LLM to fit a few music related ideas into the web audio API
3. they tried it with math two years ago: https://runjs.app/blog/equations-that-changed-the-world-rewr... They are clearly targeting js developers, which is one of the largest coding community
4. "The naming is not arbitrary, and the harmonic series explains why.", stop wasting tokens. Just say what it is please.

my hunch is that their hardware can't cache
which raises the question, is the model in the demo actually gpt-6? or it is gpt realtime 2.1? It's unclear how gpt-6 can interact at the realtime level and if so, how can developer get access to it?
What's the point of enlarging the screen into a room? In the 1979 Put That There demo, the user at least used his hand to point things. The model is impressive but the demo felt like a step back.

No. You buy a minimum of $10 worth of credit, then use it at $1.49/M rate. There is no recurring charge.
There is a separate subscription based plan, which is sold out now.
Soniox website has a live comparison demo:
https://soniox.com/compare-sttFor me, Gemini-3.5-Transcribe actually has slightly lower latency. Kudos to Soniox for both paying their competitor and letting them win. But yes, Soniox is much cheaper.

The tokens per second speed measurement is highly inflated nowadays because most of the tokens went into thinking. I wonder if there is a more realistic measurement for "effective speed", which accounts for thinking efficiency.
They already sell API access to the model on Google/Microsoft/Amazon cloud. OpenRouter is the same deal. Note that the labs are not giving out model weights to OpenRouter. They are just selling tokens.
It is decoupled from drivetrain. So, without torque sensor, how does it know when the rider wants to speed up vs. slow down?
