Five frontier LLMs disagree on 67% of 1k real-world fact-check claims

https://lenz.io/research/llm-disagreement/og.png
On 67% of real-world user fact-checks, the five strongest frontier LLMs disagree, with at least one model picking a verdict 2 or more buckets away from another. The disagreement is not just about calibration, but also about substantive differences in verdicts, with some models concentrating verdicts at the True/False poles and others distributing more broadly across the middle two buckets.

Go: Support for Generic Methods

https://opengraph.githubassets.com/f3d020d857e4ab6d4c5428fe04e37ea390f7c35b07a40271143d068ad7c2ad93/golang/go/issues/77273
We propose adding generic concrete methods to Go, allowing methods to have type parameters like functions, which will increase the language's expressiveness and simplify code in certain situations. This change is fully backward-compatible and does not preclude the implementation of generic interface methods at a later time.
