Can modern LLMs count the number of b's in "blueberry"?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-28 03:12:02

Last week, OpenAI announced and released GPT-5, and the common consensus both inside the AI community and outside is that the new LLM did not live up to the hype. Bluesky — whose community is skeptical at-best of generative AI in all its forms — began putting the model through its paces: Michael Paulauski asked GPT-5 through the ChatGPT app interface “how many b’s are there in blueberry?”.

With this final change, T-Mobile now charges taxes and fees on everything

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile has removed tax and fee-inclusive pricing from all new 5G Home Internet plans as of August 6th. Existing customers are grandfathered in, though it’s certainly possible that T-Mobile will do what it can to get its customer base to slowly switch away to newer plans. This move effectively ends T-Mobile’s inclusive pricing policy for new customers across all services. T-Mobile introduced brand new mobile plans earlier this summer, and with it came a

Following this line of thinking, violet, green and orange become secondary colors because they’re mixed from the primaries. However, for more than a century, both scientific understanding and practical experience has shown that cyan, magenta, and yellow are more efficient for subtractive mixing with pigments, producing clea
