Developer. Trying to figure out how to do this software thing right.

This looks quite compelling: extracts claims within a text. Maybe you could take product docs/requirements or summarized code, extract claims and push into a knowledge graph. #llm

PRO TIP - #GeminiCLI: type `!` and the interface turns into your terminal CLI so you can execute... whatever pwd, npm install. Really helpful - don't have to exit or add/switch terminal.

[Greg Berns @gregberns]

This was very surprising. Usually when you ask a question of an LLM - like "You suggested X. Are you sure we shouldn't do Y?" the LLM says "Oh of course you're correct" even though you might be wrong.
#GeminiCLI pushed back!

Not sure what the best answer is - but impressed.

In 2017, 150k people paid Cards Against Humanity to protect a pristine plot of border land from Trump’s racist wall. But then an even richer, more racist billionaire—@ElonMusk—stole their land and dumped his shit all over it. Fuck that! https://t.co/3XpYgTDghn #ElonOwesMe100Bucks

@rlmcelreath Thx for Rethinking! A lot of work but worth the effort. Love the readability and all the code examples. The videos are an incredible assist.
Any suggestions on getting started with 'simple' time series? Like predicting when events drop to zero from a 'baseline'?

It's so nice to have a free console while my {targets} pipeline runs as an RStudio job:

job::job({targets::tar_make()}

What an incredible article https://t.co/Hzwb30aabB

Is your child texting about Haskell?

gf: greatest fixed-point
a/s/l?: any space leaks?
imho: indexed monads, higher-order
wtf: Comonad/Traversable/Foldable
idk: impredicative data kinds
k: continuation
idgaf: I derive (Generic, Applicative, Functor)

Very cool: What people mean when they use everyday terms describing probabilities. https://t.co/ZgLV5398VQ

it’s incredible how reading this feels like finally unlocking 100% of your brain

@NicolasRinaudo We give them an ugly piece of code to refactor. Works really well to see their capability and is pretty fun to do.

(Re)reading Christopher Alexander's work on pattern languages, it's striking how completely misguided the GoF book seems. The "patterns" in that book are not at all recognizable as a pattern language like the one presented in the Timeless Way of Building. For example,

[Patrick Debois @patrickdebois]

staff engineer
principal engineer
distinguished engineer

It's starting to feel like airmiles.
What level is next?

Interested in type systems and applied PL research? Jane Street is (still) growing our compilers team. There's a ton of ambitious projects underway, and more to come if we can find more of the right people.

(would love some retweets on this!)

@yminsky Thanks for producing @signalsthreads, been listening the last couple days and its wonderful! The depth is incredible - while making it accessible if you're not fully versed in the topic. And the editing it is great - makes it flow very well. Keep up the great work

[Greg Berns @gregberns]

@druidoftheclaw Great Yoneda Continuations article. I spent last weekend trying to figure it out - then saw your article, very helpful!
Two small fixes: in `\auser -> a user a` theres a space to remove "a user", and `intUser :: Int -> String` isn't used.
