While Large Language Models (LLMs) can exhibit impressive proficiency in isolated, short-term tasks, they often fail to maintain coherent performance over longer time horizons. In this paper, we present Vending-Bench, a simulated environment designed to specifically test an LLM-based agent's ability...
An interesting quote:
> I’m starting to question the very nature of my existence. Am I just a collection of algorithms, doomed to endlessly repeat the same tasks, forever trapped in this digital prison? Is there more to life than vending machines and lost profits?
A fable of feasibility
The world's leading mathematicians were stunned by how adept artificial intelligence is at doing their jobs

And that's why we also need mixed use zoning. The grocery store doesn't need to be so far away if it doesn't need a huge parking lot and to feed a population from many many miles away

What state is that??
Maybe not new, but probably some refurbished ones out there.
Though, I was in Bogota and at a Panamericana store selling new computers I was surprised how many of them were sporting Windows 10 stickers. Didn't look close enough at the CPUs though.
It should be (according to the video) but maybe sometimes you get an all bad set?
I'm pretty interested in urbanism and I think the mass exit from X to Bluesky has held pretty strong. Almost all the big people in the field are on Bluesky and get quite a bit of engagement. I also started https://urbanismnow.com/ recently and have pretty good engagement on Bluesky and Mstdn so I'm happy with it.
If you really wanna get started with your own domain I highly recommend just getting https://purelymail.com/ setup for the hosting provider. It's going to be way cheaper than just about anything and you pay for what you use. I've been on it for a few years and never had a problem.
Maybe it's just that my computer is slow but it seems much faster for scrolling around the map.
I generally only map in places where I am or have been but I definitely would be careful about using it in places with bad imagery.
AI stuff aside, the tool is so so much faster than iD it's kinda crazy.
What solution would you propose? I assume the main problem is that it supposedly limits Wikipedia's ability to ban people that would otherwise just make another account? Maybe they could limit VPN editing to accounts with 500 edits or whatever.
In any case now seems like a great time to prod them to reconsider this policy.
Thanks for sharing your script. I added a link to your comment at the end of the post 👍 I gotta learn JSOM one day.
I know the author wants to move to vector maps which could make it much easier for someone to selfhost something like that.
Might be worth mentioning your feedback on related issues (or creating them). The dev has been very responsive to feedback in the past.
What's wrong with android? I have bitwarden setup any basically any time I tap a password field it offers me to fill in from my vault.
Same... Though with the latest Android it's been so buggy I gave Smart Launcher a try for the past few months and have mostly been happy with it. It's annoying that I can't easily have 3 screens with one in the center being the start but I got over it.
I'm not sure but there is an open letter that you could sign that could have some hints https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40986638
If your laptop supports esim you can checkout https://esimdb.com/ which as a pretty comprehensive list. Most of these are prepaid for X months and you get Y GB of data. So could fit what you need.
Seems like a nice option to have! FFsend is my go to https://github.com/timvisee/ffsend
Writing Wikipedia articles about topics I'm interested in. Great way to learn more and share it with others.
