Before/after: original is in C major, then asked to "transpose to D major scale" - composer Gemini took over.

Multimodal llms are so bad at reading music notation - seems like the easiest training data to synthesize

[Dima Brez @dimabrez]

@alexatallah Congrats Alex!!!

Do video models actually learn physics? Or are they just stochastic pixel parrots?

If you train a transformer on raw pixels, you find a causal world model - and you can even "play" it like a video game

This is Anthropic's J-lens applied to video models

@theXipuLi .claude/settings.json:

"statusLine": {
"type": "command",
"command": "bash \"$HOME/.claude/statusline-command.sh\""
}
Then write a script to display wt:<name> (if worktree), git branch, PR url, etc.

[Dima Brez @dimabrez]

@theXipuLi You can configure the statusline below your prompt input to not just rely on the color, e.g. set the current branch or PR link

can somebody help me budget? my country is dying 😭😭

@SenSanders I love your passion Bernie, but there is no good economic philosophy to justify this. Just make it easier to create childcare businesses & costs will go down! Make it easier to become a dentist & costs will go down. No need to throw money at the problem.

@DjokovicFan_ In the short term it’s better to have longer matches to defeat the veterans, but if you’re trying to play for 20 years, shorter matches will set you up for a legacy

What does everyone do when all 20 agents are running and doing stuff?

Zoning adds $300 - 500k to the price of a home in cities with good jobs. High-speed rail takes 30 years to build. New drugs cost $2B. We pay 5-10x what peer countries do for the same infrastructure.

People call this "regulation." It isn't, exactly. It's stranger and worse. 🧵

Don't get a fast computer - you'll focus on performance of your work so much more if you suffer a little bit.

@mathemagic1an Pale fire would be internal monologue of a mad inventor while waiting for his token quota reset

If Nabokov were alive, he would write a novel comprised of sequential Claude chats

The books's index would be the MEMORIES.md and associated filesystem

has anyone seen serverless langchain setups? or something equivalent?

Need advice - is this a good space heater for the brutal cold in New York?
