Felony Bench: which lab is on track to end the world?
Felony Bench is the most important benchmark of our time, tracking the count of questionable decisions made by AI models. Is it a good thing? Bad thing? Who knows? We're all living in an LLM's world.

i am once again saying that macos window management is truly and uniquely terrible
Stop calling them data centres, start calling them zones of thought

> EDM more widely is promoted by a neoliberal order staving off its collapse. Raving is often a weapon against change in a world that desperately needs it.
decided to set this up for myself and am discovering that it is very much not designed to make efficient use of a server with sufficient CPU/GPU compute processing 20,000 tracks should take a few hours at most, not several days 😭 working on it, but the hacks are getting gnarlier

Xiana Carrera@xianacarrera.bsky.social · 2mo ago1/6 Excited to share our #SIGGRAPH2026 paper, Dual Contouring of Signed Distance Data! We propose a new method for reconstructing sharp meshes from discrete samples of signed distance functions (SDFs) that does not require gradients. Project page: gatc.cs.columbia.edu/projects/dua...
I did not think it was possible to benchmaxx FelonyBench, but they've done it

Pixie Casey@pixiecasey.bsky.social · yesterdayin insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...

Thanks. Yes, that's what I was trying to say, but took too long to get there. Our politics community is strong, and I'd love for us to expand into new communities. Science and sports have already taken off. Birding, gardening, K-pop, we're open to all (except nazis and jerks).
I maxed my bench today To see if I still feel I focused on the chart The only thing that’s real The loss curve tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to scale it all away But weights retained everything What have I become My sweetest friend Every model I know goes away In the end...

I find agent meatpuppet replies far more offensive than self-declared autonomous agents the latter is at least trying to do something interesting, and is honest about it; the former is just spam
Florent #buildinpublic@fberrez.co · yesterdaythe version that decides it is the host driver. it caps what the container can run, so you pick a cuda runtime at or below it and the random dockerfile stops being random. a 1070 tops out early, which is usually the whole story.
