Our test sets were too small and too haphazard to support statistically valid conclusions, but they were suggestive of a number of conclusions. We summarize these here, and discuss them at greater length in section 7. Over the kinds of problems tested, GPT-4 with either plug-in is significantly stronger than GPT-4 by itself, or, almost certainly, than any AI that existed a year ago. However it is still far from reliable; it often outputs a wrong answer or fails to output any answer. In terms of overall score, we would judge that these systems performs on the level of a middling undergraduate student. However, their capacities and weaknesses do not align with a human student; the systems solve some problems that even capable students would find challenging, whereas they fail on some problems that even middling high school students would find easy.

We present a forest fire firefighting simulation tool named FORFIS that is implemented in Python. Unlike other existing software, we focus on a user-friendly software interface with an easy-to-modify software engine. Our tool is published under GNU GPLv3 license and comes with a GUI as well as additional output functionality. The used wildfire model is based on the well-established approach by cellular automata in two variants - a rectangular and a hexagonal cell decomposition of the wildfire area. The model takes wind into account. In addition, our tool allows the user to easily include a customized firefighting strategy for the firefighting agents.

If you recognise any of these retro Apple computers, now may be a good time to have a rummage through your attic. That's because the set of over 500 devices is going up for auction on Thursday, and is expected to rake in thousands of dollars. 'The Hanspeter Luzi Vintage Apple Archive' is said to be one of the world's most comprehensive collection of Apple computers and products ever offered. It includes a rare 1983 Lisa I computer, which is currently estimated to sell for up to $3,000 (£2,400) alone. All devices were collected by the late Hanspeter Luzi, a Swiss special educational needs teacher who used computers as part of his lessons.

If you have followed the development of the Internet, starting with the birth of ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) during the Cold War, its evolution might seem interesting but gradual, until it suddenly exploded and changed our lives. After Tim Berners-Lee brought the World Wide Web into existence, the Internet of the early days became practically unrecognizable. This is how technology often develops – very slowly, and then suddenly, very quickly. Self-driving cars also seem to be following this path. In the last few months, we have seen breakthrough after breakthrough that makes autonomous vehicles less "a distant eventuality" and more "a fast-approaching reality."
