they're out there; https://github.com/s-kostyaev/ellama/blob/main/ellama.el for example.

Nice, there is also gptel https://github.com/karthink/gptel

both good authors, too.

> We used novel synthetic data generation techniques, such as distilling outputs from OpenAI o1-preview, to post-train the model for its core behaviors. This approach allowed us to rapidly address writing quality and new user interactions, all without relying on human-generated data.

So they took a bunch of human-generated data and put it into o1, then used the output of o1 to train canvas? How can they claim that this is a completely synthetic dataset? Humans were still involved in providing data.

Don't try to own uranium, either. Or if you do, don't store it all in one place.

The Sprott Physical Uranium Trust owns 65,711,826 pounds of triuranium octoxide (U3O8) stored at uranium hexafluoride (UF6) conversion facilities in Canada, France, and the United States. Cameco Corporation, ConverDyn, and Orano Chimie-Enrichissement individually act as custodians on behalf of the Trust for the physical uranium owned by the Trust. https://sprott.com/investment-strategies/physical-commodity-...

Interesting! Didn't realize that submarine reactors used bomb-grade uranium.

The issue I continue to have with many AI coding tools is they want me to use their own editor ("native", aka VSCode fork, or in the browser like this). I have zero intention of moving away from IDEA and nothing I've seen so far is good enough to make me want to switch. I really with there was more of "bringing AI into your existing tools/workflows" instead of "here is a new tool with AI baked in".

The problem is that tacking on to an existing product, while the ideal approach, limits just how creative you can get. I believe this is one of the reasons Cursor had to fork VSCode. Simply being an extension limited the features they could build.

Google will be a remembered as a victim of Schumpeter's Creative Destruction

From Wikipedia, for that don’t know the term: “a concept in economics that describes a process in which new innovations replace and make obsolete older innovations.” Ironically, I had to google it, and agree with the comment.

I'm usually pretty verbose with prompts, so I wanted to see what chatgpt would do with just a "Schumpeter's Creative Destruction"

Have you considered this one: https://github.com/continuedev/continue

I just tried it, has some bugs and feels unpolished, but it works for Jetbrains, which is a game changer for me too

I completely get this and I don’t have a good answer to the issue. I almost wish I liked VSCode since almost all AI editors are forks of that (not sure what the extension compatibility story is), but prefer IDEA.

The other problem is IDEs are incentivized to build their own AI coding tools instead of letting other people plug in

It would be great if OpenAI could just wait on these announcements until they can turn on the feature for all Plus users at once. Rant. Their poor communication is exemplary in the industry. You can't even ask the old models about new models. The old models think that 4o is 4.0 (cute, team, you're so cool /s), and think that it's not possible to do multimodal. It's as if model tuning does not exist. I had a model spe…

It was out to 100% in a few hours. https://x.com/sama/status/1841946796274176405

Solid point. We’re building in a space adjacent to this and it definitely feels hard to balance removing friction for adoption and delivering everything we want.
