I'm very grateful! Thanks a lot

Yeah, great point. I was considering working on the ability to dynamically generate eval questions whose solutions would all involve problem solving (and a known, definitive answer). I guess that this…

Interesting, yeah! Just tried "summarize this story and list the important figures from it" with Gemini 2.5 Pro and 3 and they both listed 10 names each, but without including Yudkowsky. Ask…

It does! I redacted them, but yes. This was a 3-person call.
comment
You're correct of course - LLMs may get better at any task of course, but I meant that publishing the evals might (optimistically speaking) help LLMs get better at the task. If the eval was actua…

I just tried "analyze this audio file recording of a meeting and notes along with a transcript labeling all the speakers" (using the language from the parent's comment) and indeed Gemin…

I asked a semi related question in a different thread [0] -- is the basic idea behind your benchmark that you specifically keep it secret to use it as an "actually real" test that was defini…

I'm new/uninformed in this world, but I have an idea for an eval that I think has not been tried yet. Can anyone direct me towards how to ... make one? At the most fundamental level, is it a…

Mozzi (for Arduino) is also great! https://sensorium.github.io/Mozzi/

Just to make sure I'm not misunderstanding: The relay click sound you're hearing should only happen when a relay turns on, and when it turns off. There is no sound when a button is pressed -…

Amazing! I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone owning many..! 1) Are any of them for sale? :) 2) Would you be open to recording a clean sound of one of its relays turning on and off? And helping me figur…

Thanks! The Enigma-cracking Bombe (on display at the extraordinary Bletchley Museum of Computing) also used relays https://www.tnmoc.org/bh-10-bombe-description And the Z3 as well! h…

More…?! :) I totally feel you - the one reservation is that I’m using (gasp) not the original Minivac Relay sound. I need to go to a Computer Museum that will let me record one to offer a more authent…
comment
Ha, I really get the sentiment! I do recommend perusing the Book 1 manual [0], towards the end there are a number of small problems (on page 30). They're worth tinkering with :-) [0] https:/…
comment
The Rotary Switch - which is both input and output in the real Minivac - is absolutely wild yeah. One of the crucial things I didn't get to yet is making that wheel controllable - some circuits i…

Thank you so much everyone, this is something I've worked on for a few years on and off -- I posted about it here in a Show HN a few hours ago [0] The biggest unlock was finding Willy McAllister&…

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Tangential question: does anyone know if there's a ~similar device to replace/upgrade a Toshiba T1100's floppy drive? A friend found a T1100 for me and I'm just trying to think of …

For sure! Just for the record, it's not my project. But your point stands - if I were to run an instance of it anywhere where the Japanese wordplay wasn't obvious (and "black market&quo…
