A speech model can support Arabic and still struggle with local dialects.

Fine-tuning NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 ASR cut word error rate on Najdi and Hijazi Saudi Arabic from 55% to 30%.

We'll be spending a lot more time trying to understand the outputs of language models. A few thoughts, tips & tricks:

Writing. Something I've had success with: Ask your LLM to explain something in ASD-STE100, it's a controlled language specification originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. LLMs well-versed in this language and it comes with heavy constraints on clean writing style that I often find a lot more readable. Sometimes I've tried to soften it a bit e.g. ask for "80% of the way to ASD-STE100" because the spec is quite stringent. But even better:

Diagrams / images. Instead of writing, ask your LLM to create a diagram. These can be a lot easier to process, parse, and understand. But even better:

Web pages. Ask for output "in HTML" to get a beautiful, interactive webpage. LLMs are getting really good at frontend and can create beautiful experiences, animations, etc. But even better:

Explainer videos. The output format I am most bullish on is fully custom / bespoke explainer videos generated on any arbitrary topic. Experiment with things like "Create a 3b1b style video explainer on X. Use my ElevenLabs API key for audio narration". (you'd need an API key for the latter or you can ask your LLM to find you decent free alternatives that use your local compute). This is actually starting to work!

In summary:
- As LLMs get better, they will do more and more of the legwork autonomously, and a lot more of our work will rise up the abstractions into oversight and understanding.
- Luckily, LLMs can help here too because as intelligence and code are increasingly abundant, you can ask for large, custom, discardable software artifacts (e.g. web apps, video explainers) that would have never made sense to create before. Push the boundaries here and you'll be surprised.

It's a notable improvement over Grok 4.6 at the same price and speed.

[Nayef Nahar نايف بن نهار @binnahar85]

منذ نحو مئة سنة والعالم الإسلامي يعيش في منطقة رمادية، ظاهره الاستقلال وباطنه الاحتلال، الجيد في الأمر أن ترمب سيضطر العالم الإسلامي للخروج من هذه المنطقة، إما إلى خضوع مكشوف أو إلى بداية استقلال حقيقي.

[Nayef Nahar نايف بن نهار @binnahar85]

من المهم أن نتذكر أن الصيام وسيلة وليس غاية، غاية الصيام هي التقوى {لعلكم تتقون}، والتقوى هي الالتزام بفعل الواجبات وترك المحرمات.
فإذا أردت أن تعرف هل حققت غاية الصيام فعلاً، فانظر إلى نفسك بعد رمضان، هل أصبحت أكثر قدرة على الالتزام أم لا؟ إن كان نعم فقد أثمر، وإلا فقد شغلتك الوسيلة عن الغاية.

We utilize SQL queries to access a collection of records stored in our database tables. Clauses are the building blocks of SQL queries. These clauses must be executed to get the proper outcomes. SQL query execution order is the name given to this sequence of operations.

𝗦𝗤𝗟 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 refers to how the requirements evaluate the query clauses or how to optimize database search results. We use clauses in a specific order known as the SQL query execution order, similar to how we plan something step by step and arrive at the result.

Here is the order in which the SQL clauses are executed:

𝟭. 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 - tables are joined to get the base data.

𝟮. 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 - the base data is filtered.

𝟯. 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗣 𝗕𝗬 - the filtered base data is grouped.

𝟰. 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 - the grouped base data is filtered.

𝟱. 𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗖𝗧 - the final data is returned.

𝟲. 𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗕𝗬 - the final data is sorted.

𝟳. 𝗟𝗜𝗠𝗜𝗧 - the returned data is limited to row count.

If I could only share one lesson with the world, it would be this.

Procrastination is an emotional problem.

You don’t put things off because you’re lazy, unmotivated, or lack discipline.
