hello ex-bird people

[Bharat Kunwar @brtkwr]

@Fried_rice thank you for open sourcing claude code i guess?

[Bharat Kunwar @brtkwr]

when you want an agent team but dont know what do with with them

@MartinSLewis The answer is not to force businesses to accept cash but to offer incentives to customers to make direct bank transfer using open banking (using QR code during checkout). This method is widely used across the world and is essentially fee less for the business.

@kelseyhightower What code editor is that? Looks like VSCode but not entirely

NotebookLM is quite powerful and worth playing with

It is a bit of a re-imagination of the UIUX of working with LLMs organized around a collection of sources you upload and then refer to with queries, seeing results alongside and with citations.

But the current most new/impressive feature (that is surprisingly hidden almost as an afterthought) is the ability to generate a 2-person podcast episode based on any content you upload. For example someone took my "bitcoin from scratch" post from a long time ago:

and converted it to podcast, quite impressive:

You can podcastify *anything*. I give it train_gpt2.c (C code that trains GPT-2):

and made a podcast about that:

I don't know if I'd exactly agree with the framing of the conversation and the emphasis or the descriptions of layernorm and matmul etc but there's hints of greatness here and in any case it's highly entertaining.

Imo LLM capability (IQ, but also memory (context length), multimodal, etc.) is getting way ahead of the UIUX of packaging it into products. Think Code Interpreter, Claude Artifacts, Cursor/Replit, NotebookLM, etc. I expect (and look forward to) a lot more and different paradigms of interaction than just chat.

That's what I think is ultimately so compelling about the 2-person podcast format as a UIUX exploration. It lifts two major "barriers to enjoyment" of LLMs. 1 Chat is hard. You don't know what to say or ask. In the 2-person podcast format, the question asking is also delegated to an AI so you get a lot more chill experience instead of being a synchronous constraint in the generating process. 2 Reading is hard and it's much easier to just lean back and listen.

No idea how yesterday happened. None at all.

This is so disgusting. Imagine the mindset that made this. People are dying. Afraid. Exploited and desperate. The Tories now chasing Reform to the very hard right and it’s sickening. Just when you think they couldn’t sink any lower …

Mr. Netanyahu, antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to millions.

Do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government.

Biden has sparked a wildfire.

Total solar eclipse from an airplane looks wild

[Science girl @sciencegirl]

During a solar eclipse, the gaps between leaves on trees act as multiple pinhole cameras,

and each gap projects its own crescent-shaped image of the eclipsed sun onto the ground.

Luckily I was a @Spotify user until quite recently so I had my library mostly intact. Mine this sentiment @AppleMusic as there is no way I’d consider coming back until this is fixed.

[Bharat Kunwar @brtkwr]

I’ve switched back to @Spotify from @AppleMusic when they nuked my library after temporarily cancelling my subscription. Boo @Apple for holding users at ransom against the most valuable thing they own in a music streaming world: curated list of artists, albums and playlists.

It's not just taxes overall that are rising - it's personal taxes specifically. The threshold freezes raise taxes by almost twice as much as the rate cuts reduce them

@rawkode Brave ftw

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

It was a huge honour to interview the brilliant Palestinian-American scholar @4noura.

She talks to me about US complicity, South Africa's ICJ case, Zionism, the future - and so much more 👇

Gaza is a 'textbook genocide'.

This is according to Raz Segal - an Israeli associate professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Stockton University in the US.

Listen carefully to what he says.

It's based on facts, law and precedent - and it should terrify you.
