GM!
Here's some shots from last week's #AuroraBorealis #aurora #northernlights in Senja, Norway 🇳🇴 💚💜

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

On Sunday I traveled to the middle of the desert to capture this: The ISS against our sun. What I didn't expect: the sun producing a magnificent flare at the same time

A once-in-a-lifetime shot I'm thrilled to share with you. See the uncropped shot or get the print in the reply

okay, that blew up a bit. welcome everyone!
let's talk about the story that many forgot:
LLM open source history👇🧵

Life in the 1970s 🧵

This only happens to you once. 😃

My toxic trait is asking Claude or ChatGPT, "please could you write X/Y/Z" :)

[Chromatic @ramymawal]

everyday at work, i am reminded of the wise words of @GrugBrainedDev

[The Grug Brained Developer @GrugBrainedDev]

some thinks is big brain say microservice solve tribe problem not tech problem

grug say now you have two problem

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

We're trying something fundamentally new.

Instead of making specific tools to help Claude complete individual tasks, we're teaching it general computer skills—allowing it to use a wide range of standard tools and software programs designed for people.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

We've built an API that allows Claude to perceive and interact with computer interfaces.

This API enables Claude to translate prompts into computer commands. Developers can use it to automate repetitive tasks, conduct testing and QA, and perform open-ended research.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The new Claude 3.5 Sonnet is the first frontier AI model to offer computer use in public beta.

While groundbreaking, computer use is still experimental—at times error-prone. We're releasing it early for feedback from developers.

[Grant Slatton @GrantSlatton]

The junior dev asked the senior dev “why are you pushing this code with no abstraction? What if you want to change it in the future?”

The senior dev responded “then I will change it in the future”

In that moment the junior dev was enlightened

@awesomekling Back in the glory days of Opera, colleagues from the layout engine had a few regular web pages. This one was one of the most "loved" https://t.co/hrsOhPOOpL

No "Are you definitely sure? [y/N]" message. Nothing.

TIL. If you want to initiate a Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly of all your Google Cloud stuff, it's enough to run `gcloud billing projects --unlink`.

[Andreas Kling @awesomekling]

Identifying as "[language] programmer" rather than "programmer" will seriously limit your growth.

Languages are tools. Learn the trade, not the tools.

🎉Happy to finally release answerai-colbert-small-v1: the small but mighty @answerdotai ColBERT.

It might not be able to count the number of "r"s in words, but it can definitely find the instructions on how to do that.

With just 33M params, it beats even `bge-base` on BEIR!
