Today I visited Cafe Cursor, and even the coffee and drink menu was in JSON 😂

Definitely a nerdy experience.

The naming department needs to be investigated.

@rezoundous Really bad. I hope that, in the coming years, we’ll look back on this as something absurd.

GPT-Astra generated this 3D spaceship and it looks really good!

this new astra model is apparently set to be released next week and hopefully fable 5.1 will also get launched around the same time

do you think fable 5.1 can outperform astra?

Earlier today, Airlink performed a pre-match flyover at DHL Stadium in Cape Town.
Our lowest recorded ADS-B altitude was 50 ft at standard pressure, or approximately 205–210 ft AMSL when corrected for the local QNH of 1019 hPa. With DHL Stadium standing about 164 ft tall near sea level, that puts the aircraft roughly 41–46 ft (12.5–14 m) above the top of the stadium.

This celebration is moved to tomorrow as the button was already pressed today.

We are reseting usage for all paid users of Codex and ChatGPT Work.

Please continue reading for an update on Codex usage limits. The team has been working around the clock, going through thousands of reports and shipping fixes.

Depending on how you use Codex, you should see your usage go between 10% and 50% further than before.

We really went with a fine comb, with many uncovered small things being longstanding and here is what we found and fixed:
- Compaction. We were keeping old images during compaction, sometimes making the context large enough to trigger compaction again. After the fix, usage dropped around 10% for users making heavy use of images. Fixed.
- Memory. Background memory workers could inherit Stop hooks and keep running when the hook wouldn’t let them finish. This affected fewer than 1% of users, with the long tail being pretty bad and we saw one example thread check whether it could stop 15,000 times. Fixed.
- Goals. In some cases, a set /goal could finish and then keep going past the intended stop condition, or the model would keep retrying broken tools without stopping. We saw examples consume anywhere from 15% to 70% of a weekly allowance. Fixed.
- Automations. Some custom schedules could run more frequently than configured. Fixed.
- Subagents. Smaller models (e.g. Luna) sometimes picked more capable helpers without being explicitly asked. The same was true where the orchestrating model not running in /fast mode could request sub-agents to run /fast. Fixed.
- Computer History. The older implementation could lead to repeatedly summarizing overlapping activity. For some cases we saw it consume up to one fifth of the weekly usage per week. Fixed.
- Rolling task summaries. Ordinary turns were triggering extra background requests. These added about 1% to token usage. Small each time, but it adds up. We have disabled this.
- MCP. Some tool results could be encoded twice. We also found tool instructions getting cut off and fetched again. Fixed.

We’ve also made architectural changes to prevent these from regressing and our teams will get paged if it happens regardless. We are also working on showing you directly in the app where your usage goes so you don’t have to guess.

Goes without saying that we’re resetting usage limits and I hope you enjoy a very nice Saturday!

🇿🇦‼️🚨 CRAZY PILOTS!

Two Airlink Embraer 190s flew over DHL Stadium in Cape Town during a game in a planned flyby.

Nobody expected it to be so low! The pilots went extremely close and low over the stadium. Wow.

A pair of Airlink Embraer E-195s nearly collided with Cape Town’s DHL Stadium while conducting a flyover this afternoon.

The first jet cleared the stadium roof by a few meters, while the second was hit by the stadium pyrotechnics.

@itselyone @melvindvivas I'm seeing this when I use /status. Scary. The word 'limit' appears 3 times...

In 1870, the Norwegian mathematician Marius Sophus Lie was in France when the Franco-Prussian War broke out. His geometry notes were mistaken for encoded German messages, and he was arrested, accused of being a spy. Today, his work on group symmetries has revolutionized math and physics. https://t.co/xzS35CapVH

A single neuron does three things and nothing more: weigh its inputs, bend the result with a
curve, then quietly shrink its own mistakes.

z = Σ�� wᵢxᵢ + b a = 1/(1 + e⁻ᶻ) ŷ = a

That gentle S-shape is the entire reason deep networks can separate data that no straight line
ever could. The same unit now flags tumors, pilots drones, and predicts markets.

It has one goal: make the average distance between ŷ and truth as small as possible.
Linear algebra, then a nonlinearity. That is the art.

Essa aí é a Universidade Federal do Amazonas, campus Manaus. É isso mesmo: fica no meio da floresta nativa, numa ��rea de Proteção Ambiental. Dividimos as aulas com preguiças, cobras, macacos, tucanos, esquilos e outros bichos estudiosos... 🙂

Today's library addition: This recent (2023) approach is a little different than most texts in that it extends into special relativity, quantum mechanics and some aspects of general relativity while remaining accessible. I may add this as recommended reading for 4th year undergrad e&m if students want to go a little further.
