Every now and then I read posts about 90% of coding will be done by AI this year and I can't lie it makes me a bit nervous. Then a study likes this drops and I can relax a bit

You’ve probably heard about how AI/LLMs can solve Math Olympiad problems ( deepmind.google/discover/blo... ). So naturally, some people put it to the test — hours after the 2025 US Math Olympiad problems were released. The result: They all sucked!

There are plenty of cases where survivorship bias doesn’t apply. We just don’t remember them.

Do you think vibe coding is a gradual or fundamental change in technology?

In a way, we've always been vibe coding (but also not at all)

Errors with a 200 status code is like gift wrapping a turd

Kara Woo@karawoo.com · last yr.

status codes mean things! stop returning errors with a 200!!

An infinite amount of monkeys with an LLM can write the entire the complete works of Shakespeare

My doctor told me he's into vibe surgeries lately

I think the reason why LLMs are overconfident is because we keep saying telling "You are an expert in" literally anything

"Why flake8? I use Ruff"

I'm just a dog. Sat in front of your code. Silently judging it.

Electron apps are the Monkey's Paw to someone wishing cheaper RAM

Anyone know best practices / tips for improving LLM quality on classifying long texts? For shorter input few-shot learning and finding the best examples work well, but this not very practical with longer texts. #databs

We'll have AI alignment before MS Word alignment

Maarten van Smeden@maartenvsmeden.bsky.social · last yr.

You all talk AI meanwhile I am still stuck in this world where MS Word refuses to do simple alignment and font tasks

An agent is an LLM that uses tools. A tool is someone who keeps saying '2025 is the year of the agents'

Today was a day where all emails found me well

Interesting benchmark from Adyen on multi-step reasoning. New benchmarks are great in establishing a baseline for historic models, all new models should be treated with suspicion. #databs huggingface.co/blog/dabstep

Really want to like cursor but I am completely Pycharm brained it seems. Anyone else have the same ? Which copilot did you go for?

I'm always surprised that ChatGPT suggests old school NLP / string manipulation tricks instead of suggesting to call OpenAI. Seems like upselling 101 to me.

“Our company has moat” The moat:

DeepSeek is not refusing the Tiananmen Square question, though it gets the answer wrong.

So, look. I'm sure I'm in the minority here on Bluesky in believing that training AI systems isn't copyright infringement. But, also. Dude. There's no way OpenAI can make this argument without looking very, very silly.

OpenAI says it has evidence China’s DeepSeek used its model to train competitor https://www.ft.com/content/a0dfedd1-5255-4fa9-8ccc-1fe01de87ea6

Will copilots (eventually) negatively impact open source library development? Major updates will break any copilot, so it disincentives doing so.

Baffling to see the disclosure around DeepSeek Last I checked the tech industry, we celebrate small teams pushing the industry forward, coming up w novel ways to build software more efficiently. And sharing it. Yet now there's a class of folks who think this is some bad thing?

If I would be a dictator for a day I would ban the word 'syncing' outside the computer domain.

DeepSeek released a whole family of inference-scaling / "reasoning" models today, including distilled variants based on Llama and Qwen Here are my notes on the new models, plus how I ran DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B on my Mac using Ollama and LLM simonwillison.net/2025/Jan/20/...

DeepSeek-R1 and exploring DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B

DeepSeek are the Chinese AI lab who dropped the best currently available open weights LLM on Christmas day, DeepSeek v3. That model was trained in part using their unreleased R1 …

simonwillison.net

Lol, if only we could give R1 a hug.

I am working with Deepseek R1 today and used it for a simple classifier with few-shot learning. Looking at the thinking tokens I think I know now how anxiety and extreme perfectionism looks like

When you replace cheese on your pizza with feces you can't claim to save money on ingredients, you just make everything taste like shit.

"We've reduced our support load by 99.9% using AI" In reality... your customer can't get ANY support now I'm getting tired of these terrible AI bot rollouts... Example:

Anyone else feel really proud when o1 needs to think a long time for your prompt?

Google should create a "no captcha" game where you have to pretend to be a robot and get points for tricking the algorithm

Porques no los neither?
