My impression is that AI coding is on a "pick two of three" triangle: scope, ship speed, and correctness. Small tools are (speed + correctness) fast prototypes are (speed + scope) and big projects are (scope + correctness). Every project that tries to be all three degrades to "fast prototype."

Finally got to make the pilgrimage to Special Guests in London! So naturally I had to make use of the opportunity and try 3 of their coffees About to start hearing colors now

When I deboard a plane every movement is calculated. I act with complete serenity in contrast to the chaos around me. Every breath intentional. I stand not a second too soon. I dance with grace.

london's coffee game is still unmatched i can bumble into a random hole in the wall specialty café and they will sell me eye-wateringly wonderful, exclusive beans get in losers, we're getting caff'd

Umans discontinuing their Token Plans is the most disappointed I felt about a piece of software in a good while I understand their reasons, and they had to deal with crazy fraud, but damn, it stings for them to pull it a month after the promised that they'd serving keep existing subs

We already have superintelligences that have taken over the planet: we call them organizations. Example from: www.noahpinion.blog/p/what-will-...

"slop is something that took less effort to create than it takes to consume" unfortunately i don't remember the source but it rings true nonetheless

I am a firm believer that if text is meant to be read by human, it should be written by human (or at least adapted by human) Had an experience working in a startup with a culture of fully AI-generated PR descriptions/reviews and I might say it slightly depressing to work like that

naming turn 13(!!!!) of the hungaroring "Senna" might be the most negative superstition stacking of any turns on any circuit

this weekend I set up a file server and a photo library (immich) on my homelab (janky old laptop), and then had the whole thing set up to back up to a Hetzner storage box automatically, handling encryptcion/compression/etc would've taken me 2 weeks by hand, few hours with the robot

Linux is so much easier to engage with seriously for the first time when there’s a robot I can talk to that can fix all my problems.

setting up an agent on our friends discord server with a court jester persona is definitely going on my top 10 best decisions list this year

This is absolutely insane, this might give a usable agentic KV-size context on my 16GB m1 macbook pro😃

holy smokes, PrismML released Bonsai-27B, a model based on Qwen3.6-27B that comes in two flavors: binary (1.125bpw) and ternary (1.71bpw) weights, while preserving benchmark scores better than standard IQ2 quants! the binary version has a footprint of only 3.9GB! this is wizardry.

after spending a few days figuring out how the different video codecs and compression mechanisms interface to find a smallest optimal storage format for my archive, i concur

Data compression is such an underrated topic and I think you should all learn about it. I cannot understate this. It is connected to more than you could possibly imagine, and it is now my favorite tech subject.

This article only earned my click because I had to confirm that the "Erdős method" they refer to isn't just "abusing amphetamines". www.quantamagazine.org/after-80-yea...

After 80 Years, Mathematicians Give Famed ‘Erdős Method’ an Upgrade | Quanta Magazine

Decades ago, Paul Erdős used randomness to illuminate the vast and weird world of networks. Now mathematicians are making his technique even more powerful.

@hankgreen.bsky.social casually dropping in a video that "AI already runs the world, it's just not LLMs but recommendation algorithms" very much rhymes with this, and is a take I regularly bring up to people

Eugene Vinitsky 🍒@eugenevinitsky.bsky.social · 4w ago

I think we are locked in an existential struggle with algorithmic solution media and that we are losing

The amount of times people told me that they can't use LLMs to do lit reviews because they hallucinate, and then they DON'T HAVE A SEARCH ENGINE HOOKED UP TO IT???? ps use openalex.org their free API tier is 10/10 and agents love it

hikikomorphism@hikikomorphism.bsky.social · 4w ago

Begging academics to include methodology with their twenty post "I tested an LLM and this is how it failed" threads, I just saw a huge thread on how they fail at summarizing literature and it turns out the author wasn't actually providing the text, just asking it for summaries based on training data

Seeing the Black Paintings by Goya in person in Madrid was an amazing experience! So much emotion and "color" expressed essentially only using yellow and black, mesmerizing

Art question 🎨 What painting, photograph, sculpture, or piece of visual art has stayed with you long after you first saw it? Not necessarily your favorite. The one that lingered.

I loathe the cult of the car.

I noticed that nothing until now pushed my nerd font so far as Fable's plans, nothing broke yet but the amount of non-alphanumeric characters is staggering

Fable has managed to completely break (Claude Code|my terminal)'s rendering

42, now it's time to find out what the question is to match the answer

ponder@ponder.ooo · last mo.

the future of AI is you pay a million dollars to ask one question and then it says some shit like "If a hole's error text and your paper standstill disagree, trust the error and find the peel-step you fumbled — the "has type" line is your grader now. Score or red."

It seems my investment to go all-in on SQL via duckdb will pay off, now it's time to leave pytorch in the dust alongside polars, pandas, etc Absolutely mindblowing, I love it!

Al Merose@al.merose.com · 4w ago

Sneak peek: I implemented a 3 layer MLP that predicts the fashion MNIST dataset using SQL (with my own autograd impl inside the database). Apparently einsum notation is better expressed as a JOIN. github.com/xqlsystems/x...

Feels unreal that my janky little blogpost about using Quarto with Overleaf made the cut to he included in this wonderful resource! And like Nicola I also cannot wait for Quarto 2 so we can leave the workarounds behind for good😃

Nicola Rennie@nrennie.bsky.social · last mo.

🚨 New blog post! 🚨 Collaborating on Quarto documents can be tricky, especially if you're working with people who don't need to write code 🫂 So I've pulled together some options for collaborating on Quarto documents into a blog post! Link: nrennie.rbind.io/blog/collabo... #QuartoPub #RStats

2027. you open claude code and scan your id. anthropic servers receive your hardware identifiers, retina scans, fingerprint, and full genome and deem you worthy of submitting a prompt to Fable. Fable doesn't, so you receive a response from Haiku. you open pi. Kimi says "hi!" and fixes your life.
