I'm using Opus, but I'm thinking of Fable.

Trying to fully understand what you can know from, or ask of, a given piece of information is a deep and fascinating topic. If this is what data science is, I wish I'd been on board sooner.

How I manage to pull myself away from the evil grip of AI at the end of the day.

It is absolutely bananas that one of the most prominent anti-AI experts in America is talking like this. Talking to ChatGPT isn’t like doing heroin or downloading child porn. It will not hurt you and has no ethical valence. It will help you understand the nature of something that is now endemic.

I created 9 AI personas to test a product I'm building. 8 users with different roles + one very mean and judgy Internet tech review journalist. Absolutely amazing results... They drove the product using the Web UI, CLI, and through terraform and didn't hold back. UX epic incoming. 😂

News is quite depressing lately. I think I'm going to watch the inspiring 2006 classic "Children of Men" today to cheer myself up.

The one advantage of SI over AI is that the domains are a whole lot cheaper to register.

Regardless of your personal beliefs around AI consciousness, shouting, abusing, bullying, or demeaning something or someone else to get your way is a poor reflection on you, regardless of whether you're talking to a person or a machine. Good on Anthropic for requiring civility when using Claude,

We think of data science as a human invention, but extracting order from a noisy, distributed signal is the exact mechanism the universe uses to construct reality itself.

I'm not an OpenAI fan but this post from Tao verges on pathetic. Nobody asked for this work to be done. We have a particular vision... terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/10/07/a...

One of the things that sucks about retrogaming emulation is that the better a game is, the more copies of it there are and so the harder it is to know if the version you're about to play is the real Super Mario Bros, or a hack that replaces him with Sonic the Hedgehog.

v1.0 of skald-kanban is available. Simple CLI, Web UI to plan, organize, and visualize the stories you are working on with your coding assistant. #Python #ClaudeCode github.com/Vitund-AI/sk...

"The classifier flagged this agents work and it aborted-I'll finish it myself" Interesting... the agent that owns the main claude code loop was in fact able to do this work without it being flagged a second time by the classifier. Wonder how that works.

The irony of a frontier model telling me I shouldn't use a 15 year old data set scraped from the web without permission of the original site owners to train a small local model is just fucking amazing.

Props to all the people who label AI data sets. I've just relabeled 700 test cases across 20 data sets where my local teacher disagreed with the original labeling - and it was grueling. Easy to see why there are large error rates. Ever wonder why your AI does weird things? The data is shit.

Claude Code now makes shareable artifacts that update as you work. Justin’s already using them, and the reviews are positive. Join the conversation about this welcome update on episode 373 of The Cloud Pod. https://www.thecloudpod.net/podcast/373-raiders-of-the-lost-claude-artifact/

Opus 5.5 working on a queue of tasks overnight noticed sftp to one of my PCs was slower than expected. It took a detour to investigate, queued a new net plan config up and told me I'd plugged the cable into the wrong port (1G instead of 2.5G) this morning - so I moved the cable. Quite impressed.

New Claude release, fluffy edition.

Dinnertime, but instead of food I'm making ML Soup. Quite bizarre to take two or three training runs, average them together, and get a model out that performs better than any of them individually.

FermatsLastJev - has a small context output barely large enough to apologize for not having room for the full answer.

Leaving everyone deeply unsatisfied and mad by building the RamanuJev model that can quickly, cheaply, and almost unerringly, answer whether any math conjecture is likely true, but cannot explain why.

Fracking uses millions of gallons of water to displace oil. Build data centers near oil fields, pump the hot water down...

Clearly just a trivial example of a singularity if a probabilistic next token auto complete could find it. 🤦

All I'm saying is that if your pet parrot woke up one weekend and recited an example of a singularity in Navier-Stokes, I'd think that was one impressive fucking parrot.

Since the dollar isn't doing so well against other global currencies, I'm asking Costco to send my annual rebate in hot dog combos this year.

Having Opus 5.5 or Sol review the last couple of years of supreme Court rulings would be interesting.

I just had to power limit my GPUs because my breaker kept tripping. Turns out a 15A 110v circuit sized for a bedroom isn't ideal for ML.

"Hey Opus, I want you to make a Zine by Claude, expressing something fundamental about Claudishness or your perspective. Think the original 2600, Principia Discordia, punk zines, etc...." Not bad. I appreciate it mocking my prompt & itself. Full thing: stateless-zine.netlify.app

These random comparisons to Raspberry PI are such clickbait. Uncomfortably close, my ass. ESP has 2 cores at 320Mhz, one at 40MHz Max 64MB of RAM at 250MHz Gigabit Ethernet maxes out at ~90Mbps (TCP) when its doing nothing else. Pi 5 4 x 2.4GHz cores + GPU 16GB RAM at 4267 MHz

It's a pretty standard set of features for a Linux single-board computer, but a rather strange list of things to find on a microcontroller: The newest ESP32 can actually run Linux, and it's getting uncomfortably close to a Raspberry Pi buff.ly/xZMc6BO
