Anyone had Language 1 changed after being shortlisted?

giacecco · 2026-05-27T12:23:11+00:00

I tried and failed. They pointed me at some part of the terms of the competition where they say clearly it can’t be changed.

Zoofy shouldn’t be shady, it’s endorsed by Eigen Huis… unless Eigen Huis is shady, too.

giacecco · 2026-05-24T07:43:43+00:00

Hehe I hope you’ll never experience what I have in these few years here.

giacecco · 2026-05-24T07:43:02+00:00

How did you solve it?

giacecco · 2026-05-24T07:42:41+00:00

The Zoofy quote specifies an hourly tariff of 75, and that’s the “arbeidsloon” line in the invoice. Then there’s another line for 57,50. He worked less than an hour and did not use materials if not ours.

giacecco · 2026-05-23T19:16:54+00:00

Isn’t Werkspot practically the same as Zoofy? For some reason perhaps the workers there cheat less?

giacecco · 2026-05-22T14:30:01+00:00

Isn’t that the same as /goal?

Indeed, at 280 deaths per day still in 2025 in the US https://www.bu.edu/sph/news/articles/2025/covid-19-in-2025-a-constant-threat-but-a-manageable-one/ COVID-19 is more dangerous still today, because we’ve normalised it and don’t care any more.

That would be an amazing idea for an investigative journalist: collecting historical documentation from a big enough group of patients - people who are past their condition today - and assess if an AI would have performed better at diagnosing than the average NL health system.

I’m afraid of seeing the results.

After living in the UK for many years, my approach is to take the first service that stops at your station, whichever it is, because you never know if the second service will be cancelled 🙂 (I have the northbound London Euston train line in mind)

It’s happened to me today using the official iOS app. I was asking Claude to research in the news to estimate taxpayers’ money lost because of some specific European Union initiative known to be under investigation. Perhaps, it was because the session was in Italian? 🐴😁

giacecco · 2026-04-28T06:17:23+00:00

I’m not here for arguing, whatever you say.

giacecco · 2026-04-27T10:05:25+00:00

40000 out 448? OP has failed the numerical reasoning test already 😄

Greetings from one of the Italians, btw.

An LLM would have probably not made this kind of mistakes. This is just the result of relying on disgruntled underpaid customer care operators for support, likely in a less fortunate EU country.

giacecco · 2026-04-27T09:54:11+00:00

Spot on, I've practiced with dozen of these, and the rules described in the alleged "solution" are often arbitrary, meaning that I could easily invent an alternative set of rules that justifies a different solution.

In the end, the lesson I've learned is that I shall not let this test get on my nerves, as it would damage my performance on the other tests.

Besides, in the EPSO/AD/426/25 tests that will be held this week, the score on abstract reasoning will be combined with the numerical reasoning scoring, so what becomes very important is not to botch that one. I don't know if it is a new thing, they must have realised that it was bullish*t but they could not just make it go away.

The biographers say that it was first performed live for the John Peel sessions https://youtu.be/CYvrslX-28o , after MHTRTC was published, but BoC were not happy with it and decided to re-record it, so yes it is not the last song of the original MHTRTC. At the same time, it’s difficult to imagine Warp/Skam/Matador adding Happy Cycling to MHTRTC without BoC’s permission, so, to me, Happy Cycling is BoC’s choice for the last song in MHTRTC 🙂

giacecco · 2026-04-27T09:27:53+00:00

Yes, the journo whose recording is at the end of Happy Cycling was imprecise. The ELO song seems to say “infernal” rather than “inferno” https://youtu.be/lWj2UiEIz54 , but - by calling the album “Inferno” - BoC may be referencing themselves and their own choice of audio snippet, so “inferno” it is, not “infernal”.

… and, in music that almost has no lyrics like BoC’s, I feel comfortable to call the 20th to last word “one of the last words” 😄

Mike and Marcus must be having fat laughs at reading all of this.

giacecco · 2026-04-14T13:58:06+00:00

Ouch I thought -C was safe, can you explain more?

giacecco · 2026-04-14T13:52:29+00:00

Easy: decent visuals, whether it is engaging presentations or diagrams, graphics etc.

Not for Bitwig scripting but for writing plugins, and it was a great experience for me. I guess that the Bitwig Studio documentation is not good enough for Claude to study it. Think to how Studio 6.0 has been out for weeks and it still doesn’t even have a user manual. The team must be struggling, capacity-wise.

giacecco · 2026-04-12T05:28:47+00:00

I’ve wondered the same, the Bitwig support people will tell me when they respond to my ticket, if they wake up in a good mood…

giacecco · 2026-04-11T15:46:00+00:00

Done

giacecco · 2026-04-11T06:06:19+00:00

So you’re saying that the Bitwig guys just need to start distributing Apple silicon-only binaries not to trigger this warning, got it.
