Has anyone used Xenharmlib before? I'm curious about it and a huge fan of the feel of JI, but not super experienced with composition myself, and I was wondering what types of thing…

Think about what OpenRouter primarily traffics in and what you can do with that raw material.

Nah I agree with you, as someone who's read a lot of Asimov. As far as MULTIVAC stories go, I always preferred "All The Troubles of the World" ( https://schools.ednet.ns.ca/avrsb/0…

The point is that open weights turns puts inference on the open market, so if your model is actually good and providers want to serve it, it will drive costs down and inference spe…

It is partly the medium's fault. A lot of the sins of CD/digital mastering wont fly on vinyl because there's physical constraints around what you can literally press into the recor…

I've had a Framework 13 for several years now, so I'm excited to see this kind of thing start to happen. Praying the next one out is a GPU/tensor workload unit so I'm not stuck at …

Love it, they're teaching LLMs how to skim texts properly, which is exactly the right approach for handling long contexts.

I see a lot of debate about whether AI is "conscious" or has "consciousness", with people talking past each other without a firm grasp on their own stances, so I made a quick quiz …

I prefer to write blog posts in markdown, especially if I'm on the go, and historically I've manually reformatted it in Substack's editor. Figured, why not automate this? So I buil…

Yeah. I noticed a lot of "It's not just X. It's Y." which is the biggest tell for me.

Copy paste? Use something like desktop commander and just let it edit the files for you directly. It'll even run commands to test it out. Or go further and use Cline/RooCode and if…

Working on a larger astrology project, I realized there's no good way to get text descriptions of an astrology chart in a form designed for LLMs. Astro.com can generate description…

Much debated question but if we run with your definition, then A2A adds communication capabilities alongside tool-calling, which is ultimately a set of programmatic hooks. Like "ph…

A2A isn't a layer of abstraction over MCP, it functions in parallel and they complement each other. MCP addresses the Agent-to-Environment question, how can Agents "do things" on c…

This is insanely cynical. The optimistic version is that many teams were already home-rolling protocols like A2A for "swarm" logic. For example, aggregation of financial data acros…

"The social double-bind game can be phrased in several ways: The first rule of this game is that it is not a game. Everyone must play. You must love us. You must go on living. Be y…

Agreed -- the thing that frustrated me in the post is the idea that not going through a hookup phase before finding a serious partner is "like running a marathon without doing any …

I imagine this is completely serious, and isn't that different from what I've seen in a big city (NYC). Back when I was permitting myself to use these apps (2017, before I truly as…

This is wild to me. As someone who's done some eng management and has also read a lot of psychoanalytic theory, the only things I would actively ask my reports to "open up" about e…

No, it's a calzone, per https://cuberule.com/

I really wish these articles cited more primary sources. I would love (and prefer) to review the empirical work that led to the communicated understanding of these systems.

Really liked this post, thanks for sharing all the references. I actually did a similar project recently of playing a lot of classic JRPGs, but my research only culminated in a blo…
