> We also found evidence that models that have seen the problems during training are more likely to succeed, because they have additional information needed to pass the underspecified tests.

No shit, Sherlock!


GitHub was down too! Its uptime has been so bad recently.

And somehow he’s worth $655B. Pays to lie I guess haha.

Lying is a competitive advantage, yes. Why do you think companies have marketing budgets?

Didn't Musk famously shutter Tesla's marketing department two years ago, nearly to the day?[1] It seems it's quite possible to lie effectively, repeatedly, and pervasively even without a marking department. Maybe Musk is just that good.

They shuttered a marketing department -- the Content Growth team -- and Tesla still has marketing teams around the world.

The army of YouTube stock pumpers didn't appear spontaneously. There's a budget for that.


Would be super interested if any person on this planet uses this as the main driver.

Yes its much less annoying than macos on my m1 macbook.

I do, for work at least. Works nice aside from the lack of USB-C monitor (mine has a HDMI output so not a huge deal for me.)

In the dev branch now! https://asahilinux.org/2026/02/progress-report-6-19/

I will attempt to use Asahi as my daily driver once this is officially released.


I do.

Not the M5.

It eventually will. But OP never asked about M5 specifically.

No, but OP was comparing the pricing of brand new laptops, so it was implied that they wouldn't be M1/M2 hence not supported by Asahi.

Eventually in this context might be 4+ years from now.

AFAIK Asahi development needs some hypervisor features for reverse engineering macOS drivers that only exist on M1-M3 and were removed on M4+. So yeah, it may be several years until they get support (or never, if nobody steps up to do it).

There's not enough internet-scale data for robotics. The gap is huge! So anyone that claims to have a GPT like model is not behing honest.


Yes there should be. But there won’t be until US stops lobbying and American public elects lawmakers that work for people instead of their own pockets.


Unfortunately most people has a price in this world. Those who can’t be bought are just so rare.


And people that are likely to not be bought wouldn't enter politics in most cases. To enter and succeed in politics needs ambition and skillset that is diametrically opposite to a honest person.


The disgusting part is it’s not even that much money. $20k here, $50k there gets you a lot of political leverage.


Isn’t that actually a valid way to test? IMHO Performing under pressure is a capability signal in itself.


Well, that is a way to test students’ ability to perform under pressure, but I’m adamant it’s not a fair assessment of their skill in the subject at hand, nor how much they’d worked and improved during the course. On several occasions I have gotten higher marks than my friend because of their anxiety issues, despite me being a worse student and arguably a worse researcher (what we studied for).


> It's usually more dangerous for women to give birth lying down, so why do they? It's all because of a Frenchman who decided it was more convenient – for men.

The first paragraph itself makes me not want to read further.


Do we even need documentation with LLMs? :)


The LLMs need documentation


The LLMs might be able to put the mythical "the code is the documentation" into practice.


How would they make money from the tokens then haha? The main revenue driver of these companies is to get people to use more tokens. That’s what they will optimise for. Getting the developers out of the way is the way to do it.


Isn’t Cursor’s business model mostly subscriptions? They’re the ones paying for inference, not the user directly, right? So wouldn’t they be incentivized to minimize token usage per unit of user value, not maximize raw tokens?


It's pay-as-you-go after a certain number of included requests/tokens: https://cursor.com/docs/models-and-pricing


I think enterprise users have a API for the whole company do pay as you go? I believe that’s where they make the most money.


Nope. Enterprise you pay for seat to access all of the enterprise features and then you just pay for tokens as you go. Vast majority of their actual revenue comes from enterprise and their revenue is just api pass through to the model providers.


Does Cursor make money from tokens?

I thought it was primarily a user of Anthropic and OpenAI APIs, so the fewer tokens you use to accomplish a task, the higher their margin.


Gemini is featured just as prominently, and they've most recently been pushing their own model series (Composer).
