Every single AW I’ve owned has this weird problem: when I go for a run it often doesn’t show my HR even after 10 mins, sometimes even longer. Super irritating.

Since one of the big improvements here is supposedly the writing style, on that topic I'm mystified about something: Why is it that the voice models in Claude and ChatGPT have a perfectly normal style with barely any "AI smell&q

What I find equally interesting is finding out how well an AI model knows an open source software library you’ve built. E.g I’m quite pleased to see most frontier-level models are very competent setting up agent systems using the Langroid f

An interesting fact I learned while reading The Dream Machine[1], is that Newell, Simon and Shaw’s Logic Theorist (1956) was considered to be the “first AI program”. Quoting from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

A lot of people, including me, don’t want to bother with GPUs, they’d rather run it on their M1-M5 MacBook. For example the 35B-A3B is very usable even on a M1 64GB MacBook.

Tangential to this post but Peter Bloem’s Transformers from Scratch (2019) was one of the best early tutorials on transformers and self-attention. There have been many more tutorials since then but this was the one that solidified a mental

Agree with the spirit of this, but it assumes a human is still looking at the code, and human inspection of code is vanishing faster than people are willing to admit (especially when coding in a language said human doesn’t know).

An interesting fact I learned while reading The Dream Machine[1], is that Principia was the basis of Newell, Simon and Shaw’s Logic Theorist (1956), considered to be the “first AI program”. Amusing and amazing to see this in the context of

All these "intelligence" benchmarks miss something extremely important when using an LLM in a code-agent harness: How it communicates with you about what it did. Opus-5 is practically unusable (for complex tasks) in this sense - i

I know about these. My question was about Tmux. Also the Claude resume search is not full text, it only matches session names.

by d4rkp4ttern 1mo ago
I didn’t quite understand. I use Tmux extensively and have tons of sessions running different panes etc. But how does Tmux solve the session search problem, maybe I’m not aware of some Tmux feature?

what guarantees are these? You mean data retention, use for training etc?

Regarding the urge to “check what’s out there”, one simple rule I follow is: spend around an hour in the morning catching up with HN, a few reddits, a couple newsletters, and Bluesky. I completely avoid Twitter/X and LinkedIn, trusting

I use the Hex[1] app on MacOs for near instant transcription with Parakeet V3. This is how I speak to Code agents at least 80% of the time. The idea is - I tend to be lazy if I need to type lots of details, so speaking lets me get into deta

In the Reddit post there was clarification that this was done with Sol Pro not Ultra - curious what is everyone’s mental model of the difference. My understanding is that ChatGPT Pro is effectively a multi agent system, or somehow uses mult

Nice, it works for discussing concepts baked into the LLM but fails when you want it to read contents of an article or do web search. ChatGPT Live doesn’t have this limitation. Their Voice mode did have this limitation, but the Live mode re

Too much friction in notebookLM - several minutes to make a podcast, and they disappear after a while, and the interrupt feature is super-janky.

Yes Claude voice refuses to actually read the article and relies on snippets it finds in web searches and often pretends to have read the article, and when pushed admits it really didn’t. ChatGPT Voice used to have this issue as well, but t

Actually for me it’s more cognitive load when the AI just dumps everything at once, which is why I prefer to have it give me a nugget at a time, so I can take it in, pause and discuss before moving to the next one.
