> As of October 2026, Anthropic is likely improving the capabilities of their models on well-specified tasks at around twice the rate they did between March 2024 and October 2025. This estimate is given with high uncertainty; we would not be surprised if the true acceleration was closer to 1.3x or 3x the historical rate. > A majority of this acceleration today is likely attributable to Anthropic’s extensive use of AI to do R&D, though there is significant uncertainty and other causes likely played a large role in acceleration in late 2025. > The lack of observed bottlenecks or strong diminishing returns means there is a significant risk that further capabilities progress could lead to even faster acceleration, though, as we say below, we may be missing important bottlenecks.

Cool to hear it's over for student before it ever started

"pacing the frontier" is about the frontier in fairness. Astra, Fable level models. Sol / Opus / Sonnet etc are all worse than "the frontier".

how on earth is linux being compiled for platforms without a GCC?

additionally, I believe the GCC backend is incomplete. the `core` library is able to compile, but rust's `std` cannot be.

I don't believe it'll have "lasting" effect on rust, but I think it rather shows what rust maintainers will do, if put into a similar situation again.

I think a lot more important for understanding crypto is learning the first bitcoin was minted in January 2009, months off of the heel of the Lehman Brothers filing for bankruptcy, and more notably the "start" of the 2008 financial crisis

Unfortunately, I really doubt long rust's "forever" will last in the wake of the `time` crate controversy. I can't see like a lot of good options in that place from the perspectives of the rust-std maintainers, but it might've just been worth it to wait for a new edition or similar.
