You know… I agree. I haven’t found it to be as great as reported.

I’m curious why you use this language of “appears to match or even beat”, seemed pretty clear from the benchmarks that it’s well ahead of Fable. Do you doubt the reporting?

its important to read it anyway because there have been and will continue to be errors in the construction of the proof software itself. which leads ai and humans alike to prove things that arent true

The author having mistral review the seven paragraphs in their short article is wild to me. It’s not like it’s a doctoral thesis

The premise of the story is silly. If AI gets cheaper and faster, then it certainly will get smarter (just not in the raw sense) as harnesses, tool access, memory, etc. improve. You can’t hold intelligence as a fixed variable but then imply other aspects of it improve

What is a humanist font?

I make an app called Reflect [1] which is geared towards tracking these kinds of things. Admittedly, sticking with the habit and forming it in the first place can be hard. If you’re interested in talking about it, let me know! We have a discord that we link to in the app and that’s the fastest way to get a hold of me.

this is the first time ive heard of beam search. i would have reached for a genetic algorithm of some sort, although it seems like some stochastic versions of beam search exist to avoid local minima. i wonder if there are any good frameworks for building these that agents can construct and use.

Have you ever tried building an iOS app? The compiler gives up after a sufficient time because typechecking can be so slow

You also don’t need it to be trained on it specifically, just give it some docs or links to docs or source code as reference
very clean and well done!

My opinion is that the money is in the verticals as the models and harnesses built around them become commodities. Specializing in a vertical, especially where hardware is involved, creates a buffer between companies and the frontier labs. The frontier labs are spreading themselves thin trying to capture verticals like finance or legal but aren’t narrow enough to be as competitive as a company that is going for a more targeted approach.

Re:The Case for Free Online Books (2014) on Wednesday June 10, 2026 @01:29PM (#48479679)
I read this book cover to cover after purchasing it with money, despite it being free online, and loved it. I think it’s pretty clear that the author was in a position where they could afford to put this out there for free. But not everyone is and I think people should be compensated for their time and efforts if that’s what they want.
what was the prompt for this, did you use a CAD/threejs skill or grab a model from somewhere?

I started to find this article interesting but every time I tapped “x” on an ad to dismiss it, no more than five seconds later, the same ad would appear at the bottom and distract me. Over and over.

I’m getting some serious Frank Grimes vibes here [1]. I think the slop is causing people to lose their minds because the cognitive dissonance they have seeing it proliferate while hating it so much.

Show HN: Fed.run – online collaborative Rust IDE and Markdown editor

https://fed.run

I’ve been fascinated by CRDTs for the last while and wanted to make something practical with them. I also like to code on my phone but was kind of disappointed with what I’ve tried. So I made fed.run. It’s a progressive web app (so you can add it to your home screen). The frontend uses CodeMirror 6 for the text editor. It also uses Yjs and Hocuspocus for the collaborative aspect (less hands-on...
