But as AI-generated code becomes the dominant path to production, correctness is now table stakes. The question that we should be asking is: can models actually write good code?Weโ€™re excited to introduce FrontierCode, a benchmark that measures how well models can truly meet the standards of high-quality production codebases.

Why Are Cells Small?

๐Ÿ”ฅ Check out this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ“Œ **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: A human body is built from 30 trillion cells โ€” excluding microbes โ€” that each arise from a lone, fertilized egg. These cells come in a multiplicity of shapes and sizes, with internal volumes spanning five orders of magnitude. The smallest human cell, a sperm, has a volume of just 30 ยตmยณ, whereas an oocyte has a volume of 4,000,000 ยตmยณ, making it the largest cell in the human body.1 What accounts for this huge range? A simplistic answer is that evolution has made…

TI-84 Plus OS โ€” Reverse Engineering

๐Ÿš€ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Target: ti84plus.rom (1 MiB flash dump). OS self-identifies as 2.55MP.
