I wanted to measure this since it matters most for long-term projects. Method: it takes the patches that benchmarks already publish (DeepSWE, SWE-bench Verified, SWE-bench Live) and counts "coding units": syntax elements like statements, calls, n…The Four Colour Theorem: The first time machines mogged mathematicianshttps://celebratio.org/Appel_KI/article/796/#sender Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50077096 Points: 9 # Comments: 6Show HN: Guitoro, a virtual guitar you strum with your keyboardGuitoro is a free browser guitar using recordings of real instruments.
