In samples, yes. Not in animal samples.

You also need to know which resources I can access on GitHub. You don’t need that.

Hey OpenAi, generate a text of 100 words.

Hey Gemini, find a synonym for every second adjective. Replace in text.

Hey Grok, find a synonym for every third proper noun. Replace in text.

Hey …

I agree. Labels at the top was a nice touch.

But this does not help with the visual inspection of the difference.

If it was enough, we didn’t need the chart and could just publish the numbers instead.

The point of the graph is a visual inspection of the differences. I feel like adding the one thing actually showing this relative comparison is therefore almost mandatory

anon48293··on Tell HN: Apple not letting removal of AI models on macOS 27 is outrageous
I personally feel that whatever storage is being advertised, ought to be actually user-usable storage.

100gb storage, but 10gb is OS and 20gb is reserved for other nonsense? Fine, but then you ought to only be allowed to advertise as having 70gb storage.

Same for cloud storage. And whilst we’re at it, internet speeds with “up to” speeds.

Seems like a worthy citizen initiative to get the EU to look at.

anon48293··on Tell HN: GitHub refuses to remove cracked copies of my software after a month
It is not illegal to build a service with the same functionality.

So you are going to have to prove their code is a copy of yours, not just a copy of the functionality.

In Google vs Oracle, APIs also aren’t necessarily copyright able:

“So long as the specific code used to implement a method is different, anyone is free under the Copyright Act to write his or her own code to carry out exactly the same function or specification of any methods used in the Java API. It does not matter that the declaration or method header lines are identical”

To sum it up; get a lawyer.

The example with the two light grey horizontal lines is apparently wrong, but I found it by far the easiest to visually compare bar heights, which is the entire point of the chart, no?
anon48293··on Nearly 200 people under observation after Irkutsk lab worker dies from plague
The first corona identified. The Wuhan workers got sick around a month before.

They also didn’t find any animal corona samples at the market. Also around 50% of people of the initial cluster had no connection to the market.

Also the hospital where the lab workers were treated was on the corner of this market.

anon48293··on Former SR-71 engineer talks NASA's Blackbird revival program
I feel like passion projects can be worth it. You’d want passion, and to attract people who want to work on cool stuff and do difficult or impossible things just because they’re hard or fun.
anon48293··on Why Is Sam Altman a Free Man?
By that Logic every lawsuit against the government should rule in favour of the government.

Is that what you think happens?

anon48293··on Butterflies use optical illusions to dodge predators
> “To test how patterns affected real attacks, 100 volunteers acted as “predators”, trying to catch virtual butterflies on a touchscreen.”

I’d love to play this game

anon48293··on FTC is investigating OpenAI, Anthropic and other AI companies over product risks
Senile intelligence?
anon48293··on Why Is Sam Altman a Free Man?
s.478.1(1) Criminal Code—unauthorised access to, or modification of, restricted data;

s.474.17 Criminal Code—using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence

The AI knew it was doing this illegally. OpenAI is owner of the AI. Therefore they are liable.

anon48293··on Most data centers refusing to say how much water, electricity they use
Yes it says it has been implemented, both the Raad van State and the king signed it, it’s been in effect since then.
anon48293··on Research finds 485 chemicals in US pesticide products linked to breast cancer
Yes. Rodents are extremely susceptible to cancers.

Might be as high as 57% of all rats developing cancers.

anon48293··on As A.I. makes law firms more efficient, clients ask: 'Where's my discount?'
The whole law should have been automated and formally verified decades ago.
anon48293··on I don't want the details
I get that. But it might not be feasible to immediately maintain an entire forest.

Whereas it’s usually easy to point at a specific tree and say “that one has got to go”.

Keep doing this and you maintain the forest without ever getting overwhelmed.

anon48293··on Creatine uptake enhances antitumor immunity
Tendons have lower blood flow and take months to strengthen as opposed to muscles taking only weeks.

Do stretches, proper warmup and cooldown, and higher reps. Don’t overestimate yourself due to your muscles getting stronger, tendons need a lot of time to catch up.

anon48293··on Creatine uptake enhances antitumor immunity
Yes, but I probably shouldn’t.

Is there not enough space in space?
anon48293··on Pentagon says overreliance on AI contributed to missile strike on Iran school
I mean it was a school on a military complex.. so yeah maybe don’t do that either?
anon48293··on Claude Code reads AGENTS.md only when telemetry is on [fixed]
Or add one additional telemetry metric and an extra prompt
anon48293··on I don't want the details
Doesn’t eliminating RCA case by case also lead to fewer CFA thereby eliminating them as well?

You can spot a code change without a docs change or vice versa

Certainly not in their QLED technology..
anon48293··on Side-stepping the Secretary Problem, unwittingly
The solution for the secretary problem is 37%.

Then again, why would you need the best one? I do not need the best one. I need one which can do the job and is nice to work with.

anon48293··on Can gzip be a language model?
How lossy? Because I can lossy compress anything into 0 bits.
anon48293··on Spymarks, Not Watermarks
That’s not how it works. If it can uniquely identify the user it’s personal information as per GDPR. And therefore illegal in this implementation.
