I can't stand it. Pangram gives me 95% AI when I run it on just the prose from the article.

Is there a good replacement for wordpress comments? That's the one thing holding me back from porting at the moment.

I've had pretty good luck with the following process for performance optimization loops:

- Have an agent generate unit tests until it gets to 100% path (not just statement) coverage, with every numerical test asserting checks against golden values to prevent regressions

- Let it rip on a performance improvement loop, for the widest E2E representative test case you have. Have it generate flamegraphs along the way so you can check in and steer it as necessary.

- Optionally allow for 1 ULP changes in output values so that it doesn't kill itself getting bit-exact results.

- Have it flag correctness errors as it goes, since your code probably isn't bug free.

This is also how I've done language ports from python to rust, and having the ironclad test coverage protects you from drifting.

I ran two papers and three blog posts of mine through here, and all but one (correctly) flagged as 0-1% machine written. The other (human written) blog post was 20%. Pretty good afaict!

"Back in the day" was... a year ago

Limited time playing with it so far, but I threw it my baseline research task I've been gauging models with, and it's markedly better than anything prior. Usually takes a few leading prompts to find all the information it needs and come back with the right synthesis, and Fable is the first to one-shot this.

I can’t find any benchmarks on this, anyone have a sense of the speedup that can be expected here?

And for what it’s worth, that version isn’t available yet when I try to update WSL.

I’ve found 1% to be a wild overestimate on required home repairs if you DIY. 3% is crazy, that’s half a mortgage. On my $500k home I’ve spent only ~$3k total on necessary maintenance over 5 years (0.1%/yr), and that includes resealing a leaking flat roof, some furnace repairs, a new dishwasher, some electrical that went bad, cabinets that came off the wall, rotting fence posts, and a separate section of fence that fell down. Insurance is always there for true catastrophes like a tree falling on you or flooding.

But it’s also a small home in an urban area, so more expensive to its size than most. My take on the rule would be to save your square footage in dollars each year.

Now, I’ve spent a lot more that that on the house, but the rest have been cosmetic or quality of life upgrades. I struggle to think of any single realistic necessary repair that would cost more than $2k in materials to do myself.

I wonder how much of this is in response to the MJ Rathbun debacle.

I ran my power bill for a small single family home through chatGPT and it was interesting. Cold winters/hot summers, electric stove, air conditioning during summers, and nothing else out of the ordinary that uses power.

- Base electricity: 17 kWh/day (10 in months without AC)

- Heating (currently gas): 33 kWh/day

- Heating (if I switched to heat pump with COP 3): 10 kWh/day

- EV charging at 10k miles/yr: 9 kWh/day

Total if I was fully electrified: 36 kWh/day, or 13 MWh/yr
