Why would you use Codex for code reviews but not as your daily driver?

This is awesome! Using a CLIP or Dino v2 model to produce image embeddings would probably improve the similarity search a lot - kind of similar to http://same.energy/ .

Thank you for your efforts!

This is very useful! I think the interfaces around models being used in an async manner will look very different than the synchronous chat UIs we are today. Claude Code is the first real “agent” that is providing true economic value, and th

I have a few private “vibe check” questions and the 4 bit QAT 27B model got them all correctly. I’m kind of shocked at the information density locked in just 13 GB of weights. If anyone at Deepmind is reading this — Gemma 3 27B is the singl

I agree, I instantly recognized signature ChatGPT-isms. Once I realized it wasn’t written by a person, I stopped reading.

Wow! I'd love to read a more in-depth blog post describing how to create one of these myself, and maybe even contribute my own splats to a collaborative library for iconic landmarks. I could see interactive splats being added to Wikipe

This is great! I wonder how hard it would be to use a pen plotter instead of a thermal printer. You could even use a procedurally generated handwriting font and Claude to make it feel like a handwritten letter.

Agreed. I keep my iPhone in my right pocket and my Ricoh GRIIIx in my left pocket whenever I go out. It’s such a fantastic camera given its size, especially with the APSC sensor in such a compact body. I also have a Sony A7C but I haven’t u

This is awesome! Could you share more details on how you’re storing the image embeddings and performing the KNN search? Is there an on-device vector database for iOS?

Last month Lexica served a little over 1 billion images and the Cloudflare bill (I'm using R2 + workers) was a little over $5k. I've since gotten it down to a more reasonable amount after spending some time to re-encode the images

Great work! If anyone’s planning to use AI generated artwork in their projects, I’ve added an image search API to Lexica, similar to Unsplash. All the images are licensed CC0 and millions more are being added every few weeks. Docs here: ht

They're scraped from the Stable Diffusion bot which generated them. People didn't post the images themselves, so they're not cherry picked.

Ah, that might be because of the backdrop-blur on the navigation bar. Weird that it’s causing graphical issues on your phone.

Could you take a screenshot or better yet — a screen recording? I’m not really sure what might be causing that.

I’ve used both DALL-E and stable diffusion extensively, and in my experience DALL-E is more forgiving while stable diffusion is more powerful — with a much higher skill ceiling for writing prompts. Also, stable diffusion’s open source weigh

According to Kahneman, when a chess pro makes an “intuitive” and unexplainable move it’s just pattern recognition happening subconsciously. If language models like GPT-3 are “just” pattern recognizers, wouldn’t that makes them capable of in

I just don’t have a Windows PC to test on. There are also a few Mac-specific quirks like opening the epubs in Apple Books.

Ah, I figured out what went wrong. Libgen has two different databases, a fiction and non-fiction one, and right now Alexandria only queries Libgen's non-fiction DB. I'll update it to search both databases later this week. Thanks f

Alexandria [1] is pretty much a UI-based Mac app version of Books. I've been maintaining it for a while now and whenever I share it with someone non-technical Libgen's breadth blows their mind. [1] https://github.com&#x2

Which book did you search for? Sometimes the Library Genesis servers take a while to respond.

I wanted a dead-simple Library Genesis Mac app so I released one called Alexandria ( https://github.com/Samin100/Alexandria ) a while ago, and recently just updated it to use IPFS via the Cloudflare gateway. Compared to

I’ve recently switched to magnesium L-Threonate which has shown to be far more effective at being absorbed by the brain and I’ve found myself far less anxious in social situations. The L-Threonate compound was developed at MIT specifically

Cost-based pricing rarely makes sense for software products, as almost all products are just “sending around a bunch of 1’s and 0’s”. If that were the case, almost all software would cost just pennies a month. I’m not a fan of Stripe’s pric

I think the question "why do software engineers even exist?" can be reframed to ask "what would an end-user programming environment that gives everyone the power of a software engineer look like?" There are already a few
