🍎 A Knockout Blow for LLMs? Apple's new research paper exposed how even the advanced "reasoning" models like o3 fail spectacularly at simple tasks like Tower of Hanoi puzzles. The study shows LLMs can't generalize beyond their training data, with Claude achieving less than 80% accuracy on 7-disc puzzles and nearly zero success on 8-disc versions. This fundamentally challenges the path to AGI through current LLM approaches. |

⚡ Tips for Improving API Performance in ASP.NET Core Entity Framework tracking adds unnecessary overhead for read-only operations, while returning entire datasets kills performance. Similarly, blocking calls with .Result or .Wait() can choke your thread pool. Upgrade your API performance with these optimizations. |

🐍 Python is Removing GIL, Gradually Python's Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) has long been the bottleneck preventing true multi-threaded performance on multi-core systems. Following PEP 703, Python is now gradually removing the GIL, promising significant performance improvements for multi-threaded applications. This breakthrough change addresses one of the main criticisms that "Python is slow" and opens new possibilities for CPU-intensive applications. |
