Cool. Makes me want to get into that — checking out sites for vulnerabilities. Very impressive for a 16 year old. Should definitely have been paid more.

In my opinion, the issue in AI is similar to the issue in self driving cars. I think the last “five percent” of functionality for agents etc. will be much, much more difficult to nail down for production use, just like snow weather and strange roads proved to be much more difficult for self-driving car technology rollout. They got to 95% and assumed they were nearing completion but it turned out there was even more work to be done to get to 100%. That’s kind of my take on all the AI hype. It’s going to take a lot more work to get the final five percent done.
What the hell is happening to our country :(
First AI model to pass my test on the first try (I used o3-mini-high).
Prompt: Write an interpreter for a simple but practical scripting language. Write the interpreter in JavaScript to be run on the Node.JS platform. You can import any of the standard Node.JS modules.
Churned out ~750 lines and a sample source code file to run the interpreter on. Ran on the first try completely correctly.
Definitely a step up. Perhaps it's in the training data. I don't know. But no other model has ever produced an error-free and semantically correct program on the first try, and I don't think any ever managed to implement closures.

Whether it’s a journal, a university, a tech company… never take it personally because there’s bureaucracy, policies, etc and information lost in the operation of the whole process. Cast a wide net and believe in the value you’ve created or bring.
Could someone explain the point to me? I read the post and still don’t quite understand. I remember CRTs looked smoother when pixels were still noticeable in (o)led displays. Is it to effectively lower the frame rate?
I punched in 1972 and there were some fantastic movies that year (The Godfather, Deliverance, Cabaret, Solaris, Jeremiah Johnson, Aguirre - the Wrath of God, The Last House on the Left, Silent Running, The Heartbreak Kid, Fat City, etc.).
Also tried 1973 — same (The Day of the Jackal, Soylent Green, Westworld, The Wicker Man, Papillon, American Graffiti, The Sting, Serpico, Mean Streets, High Plains Drifter, Don't Look Now, Badlands, The Long Goodbye, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Three Musketeers, Fantastic Planet, etc.).
I think they simply made better movies decades ago.
Maybe if they stopped the endless reboots, remakes, sequels and derivatives. There’s still a good one every once in a while. Oh well, I know what movie I’m watching today… you’ll shoot your eye out, kid!

Just in case someone thinks Magnus comes up with those openings on the spot.
No he has a team that uses computers to find out those plays based on what other player played as all past matches are available.
Source: I watched interview with a guy that was hired as a computer scientist consulting gig by Magnus team.
It does not take away how good he is as I don’t think many people could learn to remember weird openings and win from that against grand master level players anyway.
That’s very interesting. However it’s like any of the organizations that support competitors at elite levels in all sports. From the doctors, nutritionists, coaches that support Olympic athletes to the “high command” of any NFL team coordinating over headset with one another and the coach, who can even radio the quarterback on the field (don’t think there is another sport with this).

You’d think the ability to set up elaborate tricks would imply similar knowledge of the game. And also that highly skilled AI would implicitly include adversarial strategies. Interesting result.
