They tried to do w/ social media what they are attempting now with AI. To own it all & own us. They used dubious crises: "Russiagate," Covid etc. We barely survived those attempts to grab social media & the 1st Amendment & the proof is I can write about them on X.

Don't let those people capture AI. They may try new crises. Hang tough.

Large Language Models Struggle with Sequential Reasoning. For example,if you ask an LLM to solve a multi-step math problem,It might forget earlier steps and give a wrong answer.

@JamesSurowiecki It’s far more sensible to post this directly to the netizens. Shining the light and having an open government is far healthier.

@stephancasas Excellent. Repo?

A new paper demonstrates that LLMs could "think" in latent space, effectively decoupling internal reasoning from visible context tokens.

This breakthrough suggests that even smaller models can achieve remarkable performance without relying on extensive context windows.

Excited to be at @Cisco #CiscoLiveEMEA in Amsterdam...first meeting with chief product officer @jpatel41. Great momentum in this side of the business.

BREAKING: Secretary of State Marco Rubio just deemed that only 294 USAID staffers are necessary out of 14,000.

The entire agency will be imminently reduced from 14,000 to 294 employees.

This has to be the biggest mass firing yet.

There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.

@wittgenfine Luck has little to do with it. How about determination, focus, perseverance. I assume he has focused on it constantly and passionately. What do you do with your time other than being a critical a-hole?
