Claude models seem to work far better in Anthropic harnesses. I don't know if this is because they are trained in that context or because they offer different models through external APIs.

Would someone be interested in explaining what in the world is going on in that article?

This is true in my case! I've had more people actually buy me a coffee after interacting with my site than to click on my Buy Me a Coffee button.

I find a link to "Buy me a Coffee" to not at all look like an ad. It's a funny-shaped "donate" button. And I much prefer it to actual ads.

I wasn't aware that there were any public, commonly-used voting machines that we could check.

I was very surprised to see that the article explicitly says it will not consider this answer!

Are there leaderboards that you follow or trust?

Also, do you have preferred OCR models in your experience? I've had some success with dots.OCR, but I'm only beginning to need to work with OCR.

How does this relate to the mean entropy of 1 noted in the OP article?

I'm not very familiar with proper exception usage in C++. Would you mind expanding a bit on this comment and describing the misunderstanding?

That seemed to me like a radically high estimate of people who use ad blockers. But I see that the first page of results on MyFavoriteWebSearchEngine support that claim.

Interestingly, one of my biggest problems with Gmail is that they don't allow actual plaintext. I used to routinely collaborate with developers who were vision-impaired, and the official Gmail phone app wouldn't let me send them plaintext email. Instead, it was some sort of HTML thing. Unfortunately, we sometimes sent code snippets to each other over email, and though admittedly it looked more or less fine, Gmail changed the underlying representation enough that my collaborators' screen readers would mess up on the parsing.

This led to me leaving Gmail on my phone, which led ultimately to me leaving Gmail entirely.

Google is completely inadequate at mathematical search. But here is a concrete problem that no search seems to handle: given some complicated integral (say, some contour integral involving a K-Bessel function), find where it appears in the literature.

Most search will totally fail, because this is made of math symbols. Embedding-based search will give various related things involving, say, integrals and Bessel functions. But then I end up opening Gradshteyn and Ryzhik and trying to find where in this book the relevant terrible integrals appear.

This is a common experience for analytic number theorists. And it's a lousy experience.
