South Park predicted it AGAIN

Isn’t that telling though?

A good test might be to provide it only about a third of the tests, then when it says it's done, run it on the holdout 2/3 of tests and see how well it did. Of course it may have already seen the other tests during training, but that's not relevant here since the goal is to find whether or not it's just "brute force bumbling" its way through the task relying heavily on the test suite as bumper rails for feedback, or if it's actually writing generalizable bug-free code with active awareness of pitfalls and corner cases. (Then again it might be invalidated if this specific project was part of the RL training process. Which it may well have been, it's low hanging fruit to convert any repo with comprehensive test suite into training data).

Either way, most tasks don't have the luxury of a thorough test suite, as the test suite itself is the product of arduous effort in debugging and identifying corner case.

Not if they're not programmers!


Yes, Jmail.

It’s a suite of tools to navigate the Epstein files—it even made it into the news!

Why didn't you call it Appstein?


Epste-mail



Twitter folks call this LLM or AI Psychosis.


How did you get in?


These were parked on Hudson Ave, which is a public street, and not inside the fenced area of the depot. So I just walked up to them.


Your Transamerica pyramid picture is incredible among really cool pictures you have there. Quite cool to photograph for wikipedia like this, the world needs more people like you!


Indeed. May I ask the GP, how did you produce those scrollable images of the Shinkansen?


It was done with a line scan camera. More on the technique here: https://daniel.lawrence.lu/blog/2025-09-21-line-scan-camera-...


This was a great read and would be worth a submission of its own if it hasn't been posted recently.


Thanks, I posted it 4 months ago already: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44996938


Upvoted!


It seems to be the case here. I cannot edit it or remove it, probably HN mods took ownership for them to decide what to do with it, especially given the provocative nature of the listing.


I edited the title at one point to add a question mark to the end - this is a standard moderation device when commenters start questioning whether a story is accurate. That had the side effect of preventing you from editing it, though this wasn't my intention.


We're now fact-checking the video to verify how real it is. All we know is that it's part of the Volume 8 of the dataset from the DOJ and what we know for sure is that it was uploaded to justice.gov

EDIT: We think this might be a fake video. There's mentions of a fake video from Google Drive (now deleted) in a PDF hosted at DOJ site: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%208/EFTA000299...


Why deleted ? The link in the pdf is fine, it's not deleted.

I don't think I should post the link here because it is death related, but I just quickly type the URL and it works fine.


Who is “we” here?
