Another anecdote: I am a big nvim user and set everything up three years ago and basically haven't touched it since. At this point I'm a bit afraid I won't be able to fix it if something breaks lol. I do think the culture of

I made a nice little CLI tool for testing the subjunctive in Italian. Claude code spun off a bunch of Claude API calls to generate example sentences with fill-in-the-blank spots for the correctly conjugated verb. Having an AI generate a pro

Nice article! The generated images make me so nostalgic for the early days of AI image generation. DeepDream and others had such uncanny, interesting generations.

I didn't know that! Do you have any references that go into more depth here? I'd be curious how the architect and train it.

> Several commenters suggested the original essay was written by an LLM. They were half right. Both that essay and this one were written with Claude as a drafting partner. I directed the argument; the LLM helped with prose. I mention thi

Very cool idea. Interested to see how this progresses. One question: how worried are you about over-training on this particular dataset? i.e. instead of generalizing you lean more toward memorization? Obviously you leave out a validation se

Putting "privacy first" as the first bullet point on something like this sure is rich.

I got a cheap Chinese one (no camera, wifi) in 2024 and it's been a game changer. Yeah it's kind of dumb but it runs every day and picks up an unholy amount of dust, cat hair, and the like. Maybe if you were already vacuuming ever

While I don't think you're wrong about the orientalist elements in Western cyberpunk, consider that Japan also produced two of the seminal and genre-defining works of cyberpunk (Akira and Ghost in the Shell).

Only true if the dust grain is stopped by the craft. For a thin lightsail the grain will probably pass right through without depositing much energy

Really nice article! This clarified a lot to me about how positional embeddings work and how other useful context might be embedded in other models.

PBS Spacetime is great. Excellent, accessible explanations of advanced topics without feeling dumbed down or overhyped.
