"This has been the history of artificial intelligence in 10 scientific papers." (Talk about burying the lede.)

This guy consistently puts out good videos which cover software. This one is quintessential: technically solid, amusingly presented, short-ish.

Banning open-source AI in any form would be a mistake. A general audience PSA with @kevinsxu on why open source upholds American values.

Managing frontier risks is hard, but reducing transparency, innovation, and education from kneecapping the open frontier would be worse.

The Context Rot Paper:

Reading the FastContext paper is one of the first times I've thought to myself, "Oh, this sounds like a great technique to combat Context Rot," that great work by @kellyhongsn et alia.

@leland_mcinnes Is the Toponymy codebase an implementation of the ideas you presented at the March 2024 Dagstuhl seminar, Low-Dimensional Embeddings of High-Dimensional Data: Algorithms and Applications?

@jinaycodes "Yes and…" lists. Lots and lots of lists, one for each topic. Never look at the default feed.

@techgirl1908 That was a very informative chat on Web5, involving mostly insiders.

Twitter Spaces audio usually goes poof after thirty days. Fortunately, the TDB folks also have the audio up on SoundCloud. Definitely worth a few re-listens.

Reminds me of a book… what was the title?

Oh, yeah, "Only the Paranoid Survive: How to Exploit the Crisis Points That Challenge Every Company" by some guy named Andrew S. Grove ;)

Landauer: “Information is physical."

Maxwell's demon is a deep, modern philosophical nugget worth noodling. In sci-fi, there is the subfield of "hard sci-fi." This is hard philosophy getting at the how of life and consciousness.

Did Chinese virus hunters get infected with Covid-19 while doing virus research in bat caves, and then unknowingly head back home to the Wuhan Institute of Technology, China’s first BSL-4 laboratory? Then it broke out at that Wuhan wet market?

I might as well just call it early the year: the best tweeter I stumbled upon in 2021 is @RudyHavenstein.

The core content is brutally hilarious jestering at the risible powers that be, and that's why I visit regularly. The YouTube'd soundtrack is an eclectic, delightful bonus.

How to transcribe and take notes while watching a tech talk

• Talk: the text to speech transcript of YouTube is like a stenographer's shorthand, a starting place.

• Slides: do a screen capture and upload to an OCR web service.

E.g. free OCR site:

Hey gang - I'm going to bid on "The Pixel", part of ‘The Fungible’ collection by digital creator Pak in collaboration with Sotheby’s that just went live on Nifty Gateway. #NFT

I'd like to get it for under $100 million, so please don't bid on it.

"Hash tables," you say?

"In 2019, Shrivastava and his team recast DNN training as a search problem that could be solved with hash tables. Their “sub-linear deep learning engine” (SLIDE) is specially designed to run on commodity CPUs."
