I don't think it isn't unsurprising :)

Yes, and! It's the combo/bundling/distribution of these things that makes this powerful.

People are really misunderstanding Skills, in my opinion. It's not really about the .md file. It's about the bundling of code and instructions. Skills assume a code execution envir…

We have to find a way to punish Google if they move forward with this. We need the Gemini folks to be worried that this distraction will jeopardize their competitiveness in AI.

EverQuest taught me so many life skills, no joke. Was on the Morell-Thule server as a teen.

It's not either/or. Generally you finetune when optimized many-shot still doesn't hit your desired quality bar. And it turns out with RL, things like system prompts matter a lot, s…

I just read that document and, I'm sorry but there's no way it's written in good faith. You support open weights, as long as they pass impossible tests that no open weights models …

Seat belts may seem useless too if you've never been in an accident.

If you read this article and it gave you pleasure, examine those feelings. I find the generally schadenfreudic reaction to be disgusting. These people just wanted to get together t…

I think this game is one of the best pieces of storytelling ever created, and it's so weird and arthouse that I can hardly believe there's an audience for it.

Whenever I think of Quora, I think of their giant party in SF around a decade ago, which stands out in my mind as the height of that era of tech.

Meanwhile, the other rumor is that Nvidia stopped production on RTX 40 series in order to shift all manufacturing towards ML chips like H100. Seems like they're both in an all-out …

No, do not do this. Use Matrix, or...anything else really. I tried building on top of IRC a decade ago and it was a more forgivable mistake back then, but a mistake nonetheless.

I would also check out their 3B model. I tested it on launch with LoRA fine-tuning and found it to be surprisingly capable despite its size. I think a lot of people are skipping pa…

Horizon: Call of the Mountain is a recent example of a UX interaction that I really like with eye tracking + a peripheral. It uses a button press, so it's an intentional action, bu…

Ooh, blast from the past. I wrote some Erlang code to crawl this stuff back in college. Just found it, wow: https://code.google.com/archive/p/erlysocial/

I think in the world of ML, contributing that much compute should count as co-creation. There is a lot of code published by academia that just needs compute and data, but they don'…

Look to the cookie fatigue fiasco for how that might turn out. This simple idea is not always the right one.

I learned most of what I know about Linux trying over years to set up and maintain a MythBuntu box

This feels like bullying. This person is free to work on whatever they want with their life.
