I'm finding these LLM announcements to be pretty meaningless. They all look the same, with different numbers and graphs, even though the graphs are almost all identical. The offered model is compared with models that it can beat, with a couple of entries that "show" they haven't engineered the whole benchmark presentation to mislead.

I've become incredibly skeptical of new model announcements until I can find evidence of someone else using it for something effective. I'd love to see an announcement that wasn't structured around attracting investors with too much money and too little domain knowledge.

I love Free Pascal. I've tried using claude/codex/qwen to write in it, but all the models seem to love writing uncompileable code, and ending up in fearsome knots over it.

It's my number one "knock something together that just works" language for humans though.

Doesn't provide for hybrid setups RTX5070 + RTX5080 for example.

The "read more" link points to the same page. There is no more to read apparently. Why does this seem suspicious?

Here in Oz there is a long tradition of calling Americans "septics" from rhyming slang. "Septic Tank" -> "Yank".

The current US Government has added a whole new level of meaning to the slang, as a septic tank is typically full of shit.

The hoops you poor Americans have to jump through to get affordable health care is ridiculous in what is presented as a developed nation.

All the comments I see are about is it two organs, or a composite organ.

Surely the interesting thing is the ability to grow hindbrain cells in vitreo. That's what's potentially going to lead to the cure of lots of things, not whether 1=2.

I don't think they'll hybridise - Leopardus has 36 Chromosomes, while all other cats have 38.

I have over 3500 hours logged on Steam for NMS, and at 65 hours you have barely scratched the surface. Like many open world sandbox games, you have to make yourself goals. If you want a nice guided "start here" to "finish there" type game NMS is not for you.

I noticed the figures seemed odd. The causes of female mortality are just plain wrong. The top two causes of female death post-puberty were domestic violence and childbirth related. Neither are listed in the "top mortality" table.

Slop.

Graphs without labels and/or scales on the axes are useless. I know less after viewing that page than before, but I got to see some pretty lines that I guess must mean something.

Thank you.

How many elderly Taxi drivers die of traffic accident? Perhaps the job is culling the Alzheimer's sufferers before other symptoms and signs arise?
