I understand that to be the "emergent abilities" which are spoken about. There are correlations in the dataset that are strong enough for it to seem to have an understanding which wasn't obvious it would have from simply "predicting the next word".
Maybe irrelevant to your point, but I'd argue they were really good already in May if one used the right workflow (planning etc.). They've become better, but they're not saving me significantly more time now than they did 12 months ago.
Agreed, async function coloring makes for better structured code because it incentivizes keeping IO code near the edges while having a synchronous core.
I doubt it, the difference between someone slightly inefficient and someone extremely efficient isn't big enough to matter compared to how much they cost in salary.
That doesn't make it not true though. Markdown generally supports HTML (though oftentimes only a subset), and is typically styled using CSS. Using a web view makes complete sense to me.
> But are we really saying that the primary motivation for async/await is performance?
Of course - what else would it be? The whole async trend started because moving away from each http request spawning (or being bound to) an OS thread gave quite extreme improvements in requests/second metrics, didn't it?
I haven't made a ESP32 design, but I recently learnt KiCad and PCB design enough to do a RP235x board with a non-reference design choice (1.8v VDDIO). I only used the official hardware guide + LLMs for questions, and had it work on the first try - it wasn't too hard!
But dependencies are part of a website? It literally says "Still here when the internet isn't." - but I can't go on there without an internet connection?
I use Claude for work and Codex for private use due to already having a Plus subscription.
I can't say that I have noticed that 5.3-Codex is much better, but it's definitely on par with Opus 4.6, and its limits for $25/months is comparable to Max x5 at 1/4th of the cost (not to mention pay-per-token which we use at work). Claude Code is generally a much better experience though.
The interesting part is mostly comparing the nordic countries against each other. Sweden seemed to be doing much much worse early on due to the chosen strategy, but that no longer seems to be the case.
I won't be cancelling now as I seem to be averaging a bit more than 1000, meaning pricing will stay about the same since I should get the early adopter subscription.
However, the "average amount of searches" they're stating really can't be accurate for any tech savvy user who is using it professionally and privately. It really has to become cheaper, if it doesn't I sadly don't see myself using it long-term.
Not everyone follows the "netiquette" though. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Most of these rules rang very true to me at least. For example, capitalizing letters in _informal_ chats does give off a formal tone. This doesn't mean no one does it, but it's definitely a thing.
"People" on the planet? If that's accurate it's not super impressive, considering that probably 95-99% (or more) of people don't take chess very seriously. I used to be the top 99-99.5% of Counter-Strike players (_very_ roughly obviously), and that wasn't very impressive at all even though it's way past top 99.9% of "people on the planet".
I don't get what the point of that quiz is. All of the example countries in it instituted their mask mandates between the first and second wave. None of them did not?
