Climbers know this phenomenon as the "send train". A group of climbers has been working on a problem for a while. When the first person sends it, it often happens that multiple people are successful in the immediate attempts that follow. Part of it is watching the successful beta, but it happens even when everyone knows the moves. Once you've seen it's possible, you stop climbing tentatively and commit to the hard move instead of hedging for a fall.

The misleading prompt cases are inadvertently testing the model's ability to filter out noise from its instructions. That could be a benchmark on its own. The correct response is to flag the inconsistency and ask for clarification.

Hey, Grant here - I wrote most of the 2.0 migration code together with Aeneas. Thank you for the writeup team Cloudflare!

> After investigation, we discovered that there was an issue in one of the Hydra migrations that corrupted the state of certain valid OAuth sessions, which resulted in the migration marking them as invalid.

Was this one of the open source migration files? While I'm no longer involved in the project, I'd be curious to know if it's been addressed upstream.

In May this year, the 2x48GB Crucial SODIMM kit sold for £180. Today, the same kit is £275 in the Crucial Amazon store, and sales are limited to one unit per customer. The free market price seems to be over £500. Not a good time to be building a Mini PC or DIY laptop.

Impressive feat by Waymo, though it could have been 100-200ms faster had it noticed not only the change in trajectory, but also the jerky motion that destabilized the scooter.

For a truly superhuman performance, it might even register the brick and anticipate the scooter's accident.

Does this mean that Minimum TDP = maximum power consumption* at the CPU's lowest power configuration?

* Averaged over some time window relevant for cooling

The word `official` was added by OP to hint at the fact that zx2c4 is the kernel contributor who created WireGuard.

It isn't clear whether it was the milking robot or the farmer's computer that was compromised.

Haha, I've always enjoyed being at the end getting less attention from teachers. If the data merely shows a correlation, it may as well be explained by us at the end being under less pressure.

Most useful is relative. The book dealers who gave me my first ever contract for an automated leaflet generator that generated customized leaflets for each dealer would consider that the most useful. It's been over a decade and they still use it every day. Some other projects that come to my mind:

- an open source OIDC authorization and identity server (Ory Hydra and Ory Kratos)

- a system that uses computer vision to track food waste in industrial kitchens, helping them understand and minimize food waste

- a live milk quality estimator for a milking robot

- a browser extension called memorize. I wrote this reusing code from another contract I did while still in secondary school, and I'm mentioning it thanks to a user named lush berry who wrote "literally the most helpful thing i ever found on the internet. it helps me memorize stuff even when i'm procrastinating which is amazing. however, i have a lot of suggestions, does anyone know how i can contact the makers of this extension?". I wish I had the time to listen to these users and make the changes they want.

Thank you for the explanation!

Because my card was issued by MasterCard, not Amazon. The technology between the card reader and my card account is determined by MasterCard, and in theory MasterCard don't need to give Amazon any identifying information to process a payment.
