lora support in hf libraries is so horrifying. we just cannot keep "default to failing silently" as the standard here lol

A bunch of people asked me to update the Mac desktop alt text starter, so here is that. It’s not as fancy as mobile in that it’s sandboxed; no fancy fallback to my server, no network needed, no privacy risk. One neat bit is that it will also bulk embed alt in the images for Adobe and Wordpress.

i started this train of thought as a joke but now i do think there's something to the idea that the way to sell the green revolution to the US public is that we're being denied Good Deals on cheap chinese cars and solar panels and there's nothing more unamerican than saying we can't have a good deal

there are some art projects that are uniquely poorly-suited for the internet & anything using online interactive eye-tracking is unfortunately one of them

sometimes figures in papers are art too

Virgil has a lot he wants to say about grafting fruit branches

I need to take ownership of my mistakes. I used computer. I think this happened because I'm a normal person. I know I've disappointed many of my fans who only watch my videos between praying and feeding the hungry. I'm sorry for being such a piece of shit

We really invented language models that are more verbally fluent than most famous scifi ai on spaceships (basically zero to hard to tell in five years) & people's response is to say how boring that is

New, open dataset from my team at Canva Research! A lot of exciting work has been done in object editing over the last half decade, but most of the datasets for these tasks, particularly including counterfactuals, are synthetic or unreleased!

Yea, this is pretty bad if you read up on it. Normally I don’t like OpenAI’s aversion to testing harnesses, but when the testing harness discards reasoning and doesn’t do compaction at all that’s pretty egregious…

Bluesky devs cannot outpace how awful the userbase is to make bluesky usable for normal people. No one can

People just cannot decide between "no one is being verbally abused by like 50 people in a day here"* & "being verbally abused online doesn't matter"**

Very lucky and grateful to present this paper in Daejeon at #DH2026 with @tonyamart.bsky.social — if you’re wondering what the queen of pop herself is doing on the slide, we also have posterior predictions over her song lyrics and her poetry book!

Every post where people are saying that Will Stancil is just thin-skinned or similar has down-thread comments like this, & idk how people can't see that bluesky is *full* of slightly-more-left people who act like full-blow psychopaths online

Almost whenever I overhear people talking about ML in public (omg it's so often) it tends to be "I can't believe people use it for <xyz advertized but silly case like 'write my wedding vows'>" followed by their discussion of using it ***extensively*** in the tedious part of their own work

it's unfortunate that short-form text seems to mostly just have reddit, nearly my least favorite platform, because it's so much easier to link long-form text through it

it’s a methadone clinic for social media junkies. let it do its job.

everyone in the replies like "i can't believe you only follow 300 people" and "this isn't algorithmic social media" as if most power users don't browser For You and 300 users isn't like... an auditorium of people

bluesky is only kind of a “social media site”; more fundamentally it’s base of operations for the antifascist intelligentsia under a fascist regime. and what do you expect people will usually be talking about? if for no reason other than: it’s what we have in common. but also, why else are we here?

exciting to see "slop" speedrun its progression from a word with a specific meaning to "thing I don't like"

they need to make this a feature for every phone. you have your "my password" and your "delete my entire phone, pigs" password

New, by me: The Justice Department is prosecuting an American for allegedly providing U.S. border agents with a "duress" passcode that wiped the contents of his phone when they entered it. We've confirmed the phone was running GrapheneOS. Bypass for ad-blockers: web.archive.org/web/20260724...
