@abhishekdelta @joshwoodward @GeminiApp It works sometimes but inconsistent.

[Vikas Kedigehalli @vikkyrk]

@abhishekdelta @joshwoodward @GeminiApp Here is an example on Web:

@joshwoodward @vikkyrk @GeminiApp +1 on this Josh and i recently filed a feedback via the app as well. I was trying to deep dive into LLM architecture and almost all formulas were shown as latex code instead of properly rendering.

[Vikas Kedigehalli @vikkyrk]

@joshwoodward @GeminiApp Still doesn't render latex formulas correctly.

Meta hires some super smart people. If all this token consumption by them does not lead to breakout technologies with massive usage growth, that’s an indictment of token-backed intelligence.

@MuraliSrinivasa Great stuff, congrats!

@Steve_Yegge Maybe tell your buddy to do some actual work and to stop spreading absolute nonsense. This post is completely false and just pure clickbait.

Those scala days!

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@mfranz_on Rust is pretty great. xAI code is mostly Rust and 𝕏 is rapidly replacing legacy Twitter Scala code with Rust.

@krishnagade @fiddler_ai @amitpaka Great news, congrats Krishna!

@JeffDean What amazes me is that you are so equally passionate about such a wide variety of topics from the minute details on perf to large scale systems/ AI.

[Vikas Kedigehalli @vikkyrk]

This starts of with the goal what’s interesting for entrepreneurs but goes into all kinds of philosophical and societal questions. Kind of a wasted opportunity for the intended audience and misleading at the beginning.

Here’s to delaying gratification. The future belongs to the patient.

This infographic 10xed my comprehension of the mechanics of each instrument.

After Nano Banana Pro, there is no excuse for a memo on any semi-complex topic to not include an infographic that visualizes it in a crisp and compelling way.

Elon crowdsourcing grok fine tuning data.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Examples where Grok provides great responses that it should do more of are helpful too

Looks like Gemini3's multi-modal capability is wild - Nano Banana Pro prompt: "key papers in AI chronologically with a key contribution annotated all in the image" #nanobanana #Gemini3

This has been a big pain point. It fails sometimes even if explicitly asked. cc: @joshwoodward @OfficialLoganK

[Jason Lee @jasondeanlee]

So a week ago, I was complaining gpt 5 doesn't write latex. Gemini 3 is much worse. Basically nothing renders

[Vikas Kedigehalli @vikkyrk]

@pmddomingos :D

We usually talk about new year resolutions, but personally I am more excited about year end (Q4) resolutions. So many interesting things in the backlog / bookmarks etc to cover and reflect upon! what better time than the holiday season!

Sounds like comparison between true RL and imitation learning :)

[François Chollet @fchollet]

To really understand a concept, you have to "invent" it yourself in some capacity. Understanding doesn't come from passive content consumption. It is always self-built. It is an active, high-agency, self-directed process of creating and debugging your own mental models.
