I just wish PDF wasn't such a shitty format to deal with when trying to extract any information out of it. I can see Claude struggling in real-time when its trying to extract half corrupted, half bad-layout text segments from PDF slides

Ten advances that definitely prove that LLMs can do information synthesis much faster (or maybe even better) than humans. openai.com/index/ten-ad...
Ten advances in mathematics and theoretical computer science
OpenAI shares new results on long-standing open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science, including advances in geometry, cryptography, and complexity.

Modern authentication methods on the web are moving so fast. I want to explore how a modern government could do eGov services in today's age. With stuff like eID and Passkeys, authentication can be done with little PII sharing and generally a zero-trust architecture has so much potential.
Lecture time is over, next month is gonna be spending time with my beautiful girlfriend + studying for exams + work + some more personal projects (maybe maybe)
Me and my group at uni won a tournament today where everyone tried to make the best AI model for a variation of "game of amazons" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_of...). Entirely optional, no stakes at all, but I worked my ass off because I'm a sweaty tryhard and we actually won every single match!
I still feel ahead of the curve by having my username bruteforced as the first letters of my DID pds.ls/at://did:plc...

I noticed that dual booting between my Gaming Windows and my everything else Linux has a massive impact on how I value and distribute my time
I feel like hardware that interfaces between software and the real world has become so much more advanced and cheaper, but there was no new product in the past years that uses any of that. We now have Bluetooth Low Energy and UWB, but all we got the past decade was the AirTag and its clones.
LeechBlock is genuinely so useful. I thought "why would i need this, I can just stop opening twitter", but the amount of times I uncontrollably open twitter just to get the block screen is really a wake up call. Like I literally know I blocked it, but I still try it at least once a day 😭
I'll start working on a cool app idea over the next 2 weeks, I'll try to post regularly with some progress updates. I tried logging into @leaflet.pub and @pckt.blog but both sadly did not work with my PDS, I might try to troubleshoot that in the future.
Can't wait to dive into more ATProto apps, this protocol genuinely feels like the most polished way to regain autonomy of your own data
