Really not a socialite. All tweets come with a guarantee of sincerity and are my own.

OK - fun experiment. A very simple form where you say what you offer and who you'd like to meet. Could be business, personal, a date, investment, whatever. I'll make a best effort to route you to someone I know.

Mac WI-Fi can be frustratingly "sticky" - once it's found a working access point, it really doesn't like to let go, even if there's one that's much closer!

My Network Weather app fixes this in the background; it monitors your connection and if it finds a much closer AP on your same network, it nudges macOS to re-scan and pick up the new link. This leads to smoother, faster Internet.

When the nudge doesn't work, we can more forcibly reconnect.

I have been using Network Weather for my personal and work machines. The easy UI smooths over just how powerful this tool is, for telling me not only what is wrong but how to fix it.

I've been tackling the problem of making home Wi-Fi great and would love your help! (Download link in thread)

Network Weather is a free macOS/Windows app that scans your home network for security and performance issues glitching your video calls. Integrations for UniFi, TP-Link, MikroTik, Netgear, Linksys, Asus, and more.

Wonderful exposition of the problem: incremental advancements that combine existing ideas with little originality.

[Deedy @deedydas]

Mathematicians who studied whether GPT-5 could create original mathematics say

“The danger is not only loss of originality, but also weakening the very process of being a mathematician.”

Inspired by the viral open problem in convex optimization solved a few weeks ago.

For some time now, Grok has been my go-to for news. I am generally too busy to see the news up-front so I ask Grok for a summary on a topic. Grok is also my favorite way to begin exploring a topic I am unfamiliar with.

EAR for reference: https://t.co/6cKU99gbJP

[Pete Tanski 🇺🇦 @PeteTanski]

Beware categorizing “frontier models” as dual use items. The reach of Commerce extends well beyond Federal, into every walk of life, and the definition of “frontier” may change, but will lag technology by decades. The EAR still covers nonpublic symmetric encryption > 56 bits.

[Dean W. Ball @deanwball]

More people in the open source AI world should be talking about the ENFORCE Act, which would allow the Commerce Department to place export controls on frontier models.

Future open weight frontier models would probably be illegal if Commerce exercises this authority. 🧵

@dweekly Bravo! Taking advantage of being headquartered in the DC Metro. Brilliant idea.

[Pete Tanski 🇺🇦 @PeteTanski]

@dweekly Indeed. I’m sorry your friend died.

@iamnot_elon Yes

@dweekly Incredible! That is a lot of flight hours! Congratulations!

Open Source is open science.

[Jeremy Howard @jeremyphoward]

There's a new bill, SB-1047 "Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act".

I think it could do a great deal of harm to startups, American innovation, open source, and safety. So I've written a response to the authors: 🧵

GGUF My Repo by @huggingface

Create quantum GGUF models fully online - quickly and secure. Thanks to @reach_vb, @pcuenq and team for creating this HF space!

https://t.co/WFVLUpmJyX

In the video below I give it a try to create a quantum 8-bit model of Gemma 2B - it took about 60 seconds. The resulting model becomes automatically available in your HF profile and is ready to be used with llama.cpp

@dweekly Little joys can ripple out like a pebble in a pond. The court looks beautiful.

@LaurenceBrem @svpino The approach of blending phrases or sentences and combining the individual scores into a single document score works well for classification tasks (regression) and would probably be great for information retrieval. But the blending technique should be language-aware.

[Pete Tanski 🇺🇦 @PeteTanski]

@dweekly It would feel like you had been transported to Japan where crosswalks sing like birds.

Bose had a Smart Home integration where you could program the appliance notification to play music of your choice on your speakers - including any bird sound effects (viva Spotify)
