Becky chambers is the GOAT. U should read this book if you haven’t already :)
Naomi Saphra@nsaphra.bsky.social · 19h ago15. “Record of a Spaceborne Few“ is Becky Chambers’ greatest book to date. It doesn’t require reading the other Wayfarers. Beautiful, I view it as a response to the last page in The Dispossessed, which asks how spacefaring anarcho-syndicalists with scarce resources should handle immigration.

The exact number really doesn't matter here, but it's super nice to see that people are actually reading the things I have worked on :)
Am I allowed to tell an AC that I'm too stupid to review a paper?
Guys I never expected to go from watching this guy play minecraft as a kid (this is why I learned how to code btw) to watching him train LLMs. What the actual fuck: youtu.be/aV4j5pXLP-I?...

The last time I can remember a public official who was this effortlessly cool is Obama.

The Discord age verification discourse focuses on adults losing access to communities they have a right to access. That's important. I'm also worried, though, about the kids. They seem to be an afterthought in these conversations. They have much to lose too. 🧵 www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
Age verification for all.

Inside you there is an agent swarm

I would be deeply disappointed if Gavin is the nominee I would still vote for him, and so should you
A surprising amount of AI fear mongering can be boiled down to this simple trope. See also: PROGRAMMER: “I gave an LLM access to launch the nukes with no oversight” LLM: “I launched the nukes” PROGRAMMER: “Oh no how could you have done this?!? AI is so unsafe”

Yes….But also I think that this just proves programmers will still be needed… you need to acquire the skills somehow? Everyone else is just playing slots… maybe the barrier to entry for the skills is lower? Though tbh id argue for coding it was already low (see self-taught boot campers)…
Alice Valiant@alice.strange.domains · 7mo agoif this is how you use claude code then I’m sorry to say: skill issue, not the LLM’s fault
Fellow Linux enjoyers, is Gnome still the best DE with good touch support? Or is there something else I can use? (Have an older surface pro tablet I’d like to use for notes and pdfs etc)
me sowing: "I'll just use some attention here, a bit of softmax there ezpz" me reaping: inf/0 = NaN hahahahahahahaha
Kyle is unfortunately not on BlueSky but he wrote this awesome blog post which is a love letter to CVPR. A conference that has in many ways become our “home conference”. It’s a reflection on the past and a call to action to preserve the incredible culture of CVPR. vedder.io/misc/lover_l...

Some vibe-coding thoughts: I think the zero-coding-experience vibe coders miss how much of what impresses them when Claude produces what they perceive to be a fully functional app comes from the ready-built frameworks that enable the construction of such apps just by writing some boilerplate.
The biggest misconception I see online about self-driving is that end-to-end == no LiDAR (camera only). The sensor suite doesn’t determine the algorithmic approach, you can have an end to end approach with multiple sensors 😑
Alright in the interest of creating the kind of discussion/posting I want to see on this site, I'm gonna share something that I learned in the past few weeks. Not new, not mind blowing, but I was reading the VAE and VQ-VAE papers this winter break for some projects so here we go 🧵
Stack is going to be at ICCV with a booth! And I'm hiring interns for next summer! If you want to work on 4D reconstruction, novel view synthesis and "world modeling" for AVs come to our booth (#230) at ICCV and chat with our team! stackav.com/announcement...

This is a real rebuttal from the papers I am reviewing at NeurIPS... the reviewer who wrote this gave the paper a 2 (reject) with a confidence of 5 (absolutely certain & familiar with all related work, the highest confidence available). What the hell are we even doing here...?
My team at Stack just open sourced our runtime shape checking library for PyTorch & Numpy. It's hugely inspired by @patrickkidger.bsky.social's Jaxtyping but fixes a few key issues we ran into (namely, compatibility with torch.jit.trace & torch.compile). Try it with `pip install dltype`
