Research teams have entire divisions that do nothing but create new RL training environments specifically designed to boost benchmark scores. They treat AIME, SWE-bench, and MMLU like standardized tests. The model practices 10,000 hours on competitive programming problems until every proof technique is at its fingertips.
Then it fails to fix a simple bug in production without introducing two new ones.
Sutskever used the perfect analogy. Student A grinds 10,000 hours of competitive programming. Memorizes every algorithm, every edge case, every proof technique. Becomes the #1 ranked competitive coder in the world. Student B practices 100 hours but has it. Intuition. Taste. The ability to learn new things quickly. Who has the better career? Student B. Current AI models are all Student A.
The benchmark gaming runs deeper than most realize. Studies have shown data contamination inflates model scores by 20-80% on popular benchmarks. The training-test boundary is porous. Models memorize answers rather than learn concepts. And when you control for contamination, much of what looks like intelligence is pattern-matching on seen data. This explains the economic puzzle Ilya pointed to. Models score 100% on AIME 2025. They hit 70%+ on GDPval beating human professionals. Yet businesses still struggle to extract value. The benchmark performance says genius. The P&L says otherwise. The sample efficiency gap tells you everything. A human teenager learns to drive any car after 10 hours. An AI model might need millions of examples and still fail on slight variations. A human learns a concept once and applies it everywhere. Models need to see the exact pattern thousands of times and still choke when the formatting changes slightly. Sutskever's diagnosis: we're moving from the age of scaling (2020-2025) back to the age of research. The belief that 100x more compute would transform everything is dying.

>Is there a difference between this version and IoT in practice?
Non-IoT LTSC security updates ends in 2027
IoT LTSC security updates ends in 2032

Simplest and best way to switch to IoT LTSC is to use MAS to activate your install with HWID
HWID is the best activation method and since it's only available on IoT, MAS will automatically convert your install to IoT at the same time

guide anon, if you're listening.
Might this be worth adding to the guide?
Pretty much when I search on Google for "1.75x" or "2.25x" then actual companies that make good magnifiers show in the results. Where they properly spec 1.75x magnification or 3 diopter, 2.25x magnification or 5 diopter. Otherwise searching for "3x/5x/10x/20x magnifier" tends to show more of the junk products from China that are using "Ax magnifier" which is actually the diopter value in order to trick people.

no, you still need to write some bash (either directly in your home config or in a separate file) if you want to source GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile. the config i showed tells guix home to append the contents of the local-file .bash_profile to the default contents of ~/.bash_profile, like the manual says
     ‘bash-profile’ (default: ‘()’) (type: text-config)
List of file-like objects, which will be added to
‘.bash_profile’.

if you don't want guix to use any defaults in the bash files, you need to set `guix-defaults?' in `home-bash-configuration' to #f. the defaults are defined in the module (gnu home services shells) https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/src/commit/master/gnu/home/services/shells.scm#L421

also i just found out that it's better to export GUIX_PROFILE. this is what /etc/profile says:
# When GUIX_PROFILE is undefined, the various environment variables refer
# to this specific profile generation.

so the contents of the local-file .bash_profile should be something like

# ^ Additional whitespace because this is appended directly to ~/.bash_profile

How... as a message to those who are struggling with their projects, their careers, or their development in the world of technology and coding. How do you know if you're on the right path? How do you know if the work you're doing is worth the struggle? How do you know if the software you're building, or the code you're writing, is genuinely improving you and the world around you, rather than just being a distraction, or worse, a waste of time?

Well, that's a big question, isn't it? It's easy to get lost in the weeds. In fact, the whole world of software development can feel like an increasingly perilous minefield of new technologies, frameworks, and conflicting best practices. Every day, you're being pulled in different directions... what's "cool," what's trending, what's the new buzzword. And in all that, what you might forget is that you're supposed to be solving real problems, not just building more complexity for the sake of complexity.

So, how do you know if you're on the right path? How do you know if you're actually improving your code, or just spinning your wheels in endless refactoring, chasing the ideal without ever quite getting there?

The answer, my friend, is this: clean your code.

You need to stop writing code that makes you feel weak. Stop making excuses for writing dirty code. Stop thinking that "it's good enough" because it's working right now. It might be working today, but you know it won't work in the long run.

It's hard, I know. It takes time, and it's not always fun. But you can't avoid it. Just like cleaning your room, cleaning your code is a foundational practice. Start small. Start by refactoring just one module, or cleaning up one section of your project. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it has to be better than it was.

And here's the thing... once you start, you'll see results. I've had developers come up to me and say, "I started cleaning up my codebase, and it changed my entire perspective."

You might think that's a small thing, but it's not. It's huge. When you start to clean your code, you'll start to see your development process, your skills, and your mindset change for the better.

So, clean your code. Start with the small things, and work your way up. And soon enough, you'll find that you're not just writing better software. You're becoming a better developer.

I came to terms with the idea that every job I've ever done is just about me getting money.

Early 2020s: China enacts laws severely crippling the internet for people unless they show ID

Jul 2025 (Online Safety Act): UK enacts laws neutering the internet for people unless they show ID; remains in effect despite initial outcry

Dec 2025 (Online Safety Amendment): Australia enacts laws neutering the internet for people unless they show ID; likely to remain in effect despite current outcry

Apr 2026? (KOSA, made it into the House recently): US enacts laws neutering the internet for people unless they show their IDs

EU has similar shit on the table iirc, they're the fucking EU they love regulation

This will get worse, and this won't go away, at least not in the way you want it to - it'll be an impossibly difficult sell because "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" Security theater is notoriously difficult to reverse, just compare flying pre and post 9/11. This'll probably be more of the same. Again, UK already had a petition, the gov there just laughed in everyone's faces. Only way any of this is really "going away" is, like, the internet itself going extinct.

Not just this btw, also got countries banning Chinese social media (which in many cases can ironically be less restrictive), Android banning sideloading, etc.

This won't get kids playing outside again. They'll just watch only the government-OK kid-friendly TV, YouTube Shorts, and AI. Sheeple will still use a heavily policed internet and talk to Amanda the AI HR Lady because "brain need dopamine". China's still full of internet addicts despite having long had one of the world's most censored internets.

OK so make no mistake, I think the way China runs the internet is retarded.

I am a chang, so give yourself a pat on the ass if it makes you feel good. But going to China and not being able to search Google, catch up on YouTube, post on Reddit/4chan, or nowadays even scroll Wikipedia has pissed me off every time.

And I just find it retarded that nowadays so many countries (especially Australia for some odd reason) really wanna become China. If the end goal is to make future generations of teens less brainrotted, especially as China mogs them, then a love and passion for education needs to be instilled into the hearts of the populace. And a convenient way to accomplish this is by pivoting away from activism, wokism, and self-flagellation and towards science, technology, and the fine arts. And for the record I'm not requesting "100% STEM and 0% humanities", as intelligence in Western countries can be massively improved through more widespread interest in doing debate, dancing ballet, or playing a musical instrument. It just needs to be classical music / fine art / ballet dance, or more specifically the theory behind it, and not woke hip-hop deconstructed indigenous basket-weaving and shit.

Ties into the next thing, if the end goal is to out-mog China in patriotism, then the way to bring that about isn't "here are some shitty rules you must obey", which is what they saw COVID and are seeing now. It just breeds resentment. Rather there needs to be cultivation of a common culture, and I think a huge part of the problem is that Australia doesn't really have a national culture, cuisine, etc. Like name one Australian composer or painter. But for the UK this would be people like Shakespeare and Pope for plays, Dickens and Hardy for novels, Keats and Byron for poetry, Turner and Constable for painting, Purcell and Elgar for composing, etc.

(And again, we know it's obviously not really about preventing grooming since Discord and Roblox weren't impacted.)
