@superset_sh TBH I'm still using @superset_sh, it's my favorite way to run around 20-30 Claude Code/Codex sessions simultaneously. I wish it would run on VMs tho.

Should I use https://t.co/NwDlk8g8a7, https://t.co/Lat8mqJGEe, or https://t.co/lUEbOc3ET7? Because we're competing with open-source openclaw by openai.

OpenAI just open sourced a new 1.5B (50m active) model on HuggingFace with Apache 2.0 license!

It's not a new LLM, this one is called Privacy Filter, and it's a PII detection model (checking if text has private information)

A few interesting tidbits from the release + links:

My 2026 resolution: stop letting LLMs overcomplexify greenfield work.

https://t.co/o9llGSbNsj = ghost of christmas past
https://t.co/ap8Chxi4Bv = caps complexity until a human says otherwise

What if we trained AIs to believe that AI doesn't exist yet?

What have you unlearned recently?

@mutableai please auto wiki torchsynth/torchsynth

Have you ever mentored someone? If so, I want to ask you a few questions.

Learning asynchronous REST programming from chatgpt is like having a friend who's super enthusiastic to hang out but absent minded and stoned all the time.

Any sufficiently complicated Torch codebase contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of PyTorch Lightning @LightningAI

@mkinyugo If I could easily run stable diffusion and dreambooth on a 1080 this would be amazing

[Joseph Turian @turian]

@ryanobjc @ilyasut I'd like to ask it questions like: "Why do you think it output FOO when I expected it to output QUUX?"

[Joseph Turian @turian]

Can someone make a time-traveling debugger with GPT4 which watches the entire state of my program's execution, and allow me to retroactively debug it? @ilyasut

[Joseph Turian @turian]

@csteinmetz1 I would be also interested in losses that determine if there are stereo level and phase issues in the estimate that are dissimilar from the target.

Prediction: AI will cause the price of work that can happen in front of a computer to decrease much faster than the price of work that happens in the physical world.

This is the opposite of what most people (including me) expected, and will have strange effects.
