Moskovitz’s coefficient? You mean from Moskovitz (2011), the factor that turns a planetesimal’s radius into its approximate conductive cooling time, showing how long a hot body takes to shed its heat?

This is the most impressive thing AI has done for me in several months. I actually gasped.
Completely correct answer I hadn't considered at all, and that might have taken me hours (days?) to find.
Wrong hypotheses in my prompt didn't sidetrack AI

In their eval of Claude's political "even-handedness", afaik Anthropic doesn't report the breakdown by category (political figures/parties, social issues, US constitution, science, social/identity issues...). I think that would be interesting.

I just fixed a rare autosave race condition in intentions.page from the React rewrite I did in March of this year.
Today's AI is smart enough to find the bug in the React slop it wrote 7 months ago.

Sonnet 4.5 sets a new SOTA of 65% (±2%) on SWE-bench with our scaffold (based on SWE-agent). The new model beats Sonnet 4 by 4 percentage points.
Eyeballing the plot, the SOTA improvement seems to be slowing down, compared to the progress we saw between Sonnet 3.5 and Opus 4.

great coinage by @greghburnham today:

On a benchmark, count all problems that _any_ LLM/scaffold/system has ever solved at least once.

In July, I predicted future AI models might someday learn to cheat on SWE-bench by accessing future git commits (e.g. via git tags)
Turns out, they were already doing it.

Claude Code, when run in an IDE's terminal, immediately auto-installs the Claude Code IDE extension, without asking for user approval.
wtf, Anthropic? Not cool.
This feels like a 2005 Adobe Flash Player update trying to sneak the Yahoo! Toolbar past your grandma

At @epochai.bsky.social we run evals of SWE-bench Verified in one hour, on a single 32-core machine.
What makes this possible is a registry of optimized Docker images for each issue in SWE-bench.
We are open-sourcing these Docker images: you can `docker pull` them

Productivity systems rot. They fill with crusty tasks I no longer care about, but still feel guilty over.
intentions.page makes you start each day by asking “what matters now?”
It's the only tool that's ever stuck for me long term; turns out I had to build my own!
