This is amazing and something I'd like to integrate with my personal AI assistant. Is there a way to make it also index pages visited from an Android phone?

It was not solved. ~OpenAI~ Buckmaster and Alpöge found one (or a few) singularities in the forced version of the Navier-Stokes equations. Then magically 2 weeks later OpenAI found them too. Again, I am not saying this is not a great feat. I am just saying that everyone should be a bit more careful when making statements about RSI.

Come on. We're talking about a salary that is ONE THIRD of what you'd get at AI labs in US (plus the stock and the bonus). And significantly less taxes. Are you sure that 5 weeks of vacation, what you call "comprehensive" healthcare (spoiler alert: it's not), and unemployment coverage are worth 180K/year reduction in salary (pre-taxes)?

To not talk about the toxic environment that European companies generate in general. Ie: "you should be grateful you have this job".

A couple of days ago I received a strange letter from the France tax agency. For context: I received it in my home in Italy, and it was addressed to someone else (perhaps a previous tenant of the house?). It seemed legit but completely misdirected. Or perhaps it was generated from the data in this hack.

Isn't this a show of security negligence rather than of exceptional agent capabilities? Don't get me wrong, I am pretty impressed that an agent was able to use these vulnerabilities. But I am way more impressed by the vulnerabilities...

I see! Thanks!

Very interesting! One thing I don't understand is: doesn't this assume that they could do the calculations to get the coefficients... Using decimal notation? How could they for example know that 18/20 = 9/10? This is straightforward in decimal, but in their notation... Not really? So I am not super convinced this is the actual algorithm they used. Or am I missing something?

Good point. To clarify my stance: what I meant is that the narrative of the article is the following: AI made us change the playbook and so now, because of AI, the playbook is this one. Which is like saying that Sun Tzu wrote the cited line of the Art of War in a second edition, whereas his first version was "completely different".

It blows my mind how these posts seem like everyone is victim of a collective amnesia.

Literally every single point in the article was good engineering practice way before AI. So it's either amnesia or simple ignorance.

In particular, "No coding before 10am" is worded a bit awkward, as it simply means "think before you write code", which... Does it need an article for saying it?

The unfortunate reality is that (1) and (2) is what many, many engineers would like to do, but management is going EXACTLY in the opposite direction: go faster! Go faster! Why are you spending time on these things
