    How does that work?

    The editing and added audio certainly add to the realism, but this is really impressive nonetheless.
  6. rbinv parent
    Agreed. Big tech is trying to become the media industry.

    Thanks, I was not aware! I thought they offered all their models via their API.

    From the abstract:

    > This photonic-architectured cement achieved a temperature drop of 5.4°C during midday conditions with a solar intensity of 850 watts per square meter. This supercool cement featured intrinsic high strength, armored abrasive resistance, and optical stability, even when exposed to harsh conditions, such as corrosive liquids, ultraviolet radiation, and freeze-thaw cycles. A machine learning–guided life-cycle assessment indicated its potential to achieve a net-negative carbon emission profile.

    Afaik, there is currently no "GPT-5 Pro". Did you mean o3-pro or o1-pro (via API)?

    Currently, GPT-5 sits at $10/1M output tokens, o3-pro at $80, and o1-pro at a whopping $600: https://platform.openai.com/docs/pricing

    Of course this is not indicative of actual performance or quality per $ spent, but according to my own testing, their performance does seem to scale in line with their cost.

    o3 can be re-enabled in the settings ("Show additional models") if you're a paid (Plus) user.
  12. rbinv parent
    I think it's more appropriate to compare GPT 5 Thinking to o3. You will find that the response times are actually quite similar (at least in my experience over hundreds of identical prompts with each model).

    Yup, ASP's "__VIEWSTATE" hidden form parameter comes to mind. It was base64-encoded and POSTed because it could get loooong (hundreds of KB).

    Terrible for browser navigation/refresh though, because pretty much everything was a form POST. Thus no URL state sharing, either.

    Not sure if typo or intentional (likely?), but that's an amazing new word.

    It's AI slop. In fact, most (if not all) of this blog's recent posts are AI slop.

    I had no idea people could earn Continuing Education Units for blogging, but it's true: https://www.comptia.org/continuing-education/choose/renewing...

    No idea if intentional or not, but the reason is this noindex directive:

        <meta name="robots" content="noindex, noarchive, noimageindex" />

    It really is something. 40 FPS on a 4090, damn.

    Try ?authuser=2 instead of /u/2, that works with some Google products where /u/x doesn't.

    edit: doesn't seem to work, it just redirects to /u/2 anyway

    It might actually be your ISP's peering with Cloudflare (looking at you, Deutsche Telekom). Try connecting through any VPN and see if it's faster.

    Here are a few 90s videos with/about Kai Krause that I feel captured the zeitgeist of the time:

    KPT Bryce 1.0 with John Dvorak and Kai Krause: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY8GPU5osx4

    His website is worth a visit, too: http://kai.sub.blue/
