    Interesting read. As an indie puzzle dev (shameless plug: https://thinky.gg), I find the biggest leap happens when a system’s rules are rich enough that solving becomes about understanding the space and recombining elements, not memorizing solutions. Games with extensible grids and turn mechanics reward that kind of play and creation much better than static collections of challenges

    The ARC AGI 2 bump to 52.9% is huge. Shockingly GPT 5.2 Pro does not add too much more (54.2%) for the increase cost.

    Completely unrelated, but how does one create a poll on HN?

    How does security for these AI browsers work if someone adds prompt injection on their web page?

    Wow this game just proves to me how difficult your job is. I am basically getting 50%.

    One or two seemed quite obvious to me as concerning or not but turned out to be the other way

    Been using cursors background agents to do this via mobile app. I was expecting a mobile app by anthropic by now. Wonder what will happen to this project when that happens?

    Is there any details about hardware requirements for a sensible tokens per second for each size of these models?

    Met my current best friend 15 years ago at Georgia Tech. He was a Fulbright scholar from Turkey studying architecture. Really glad this program existed!

    This is very true. Over my 15 years of engineering, I have never suffered_that_ much with integrating with an api (assuming it exists). So the lack of "HATEOaS" hasn't even been noticable for me. As long as they get most of the 400 status codes right (specifically 200, 401, 403, 429) I usually have no issuss integrating and don't even notice that they don't have some "discoverable api". As long as I can get the data I need or can make the update I need I am fine.

    I think good rest api design is more a service for the engineer than the client.
