I’m intrigued but have zero context as to what you’re doing here. Do you mind sharing a link out to the larger project if available ?

I got interested in vibe coding last winter. I liked it. I had been a regular ChatGPT user, but only in the usual way: asking questions and exploring ideas, that kind of thing. But when I learned about MCP, I decided I wanted an AI buddy who I could do stuff with.

It seems likely that Opus 4.5 is actually very good at sensing how many tokens it's generated, tending to overestimate, and tending to overestimate more on longer generations. Very preliminary, but r = 0.9747 and p_value = 1.74e-06!

CNN is describing Trump as "emboldened."

I haven't posted a picture in a while. Not a lot of backstory behind this one. This is Crucible 4, 4th experiment in this series of model-training tests. This is what the sky looks like in W space at training step 5000. Initialization was like N(0, 0.02). The dead tokens have all been shuffled off.

If you're following me and you're not following @timkellogg.me then you've got some weird Venn diagram thing going on that I respect as valid but don't understand. Tim's feed is more interesting than mine. You should be following him by now.

avoiding family?? then give @advanced-eschatonics.com a follow!!
Thomas is building extremely cool stuff. Not just today, it’s like a compulsion for him. He can’t NOT build cool stuff. Ever. So my feed is full of him talking about stuff I never would’ve thought to try
go follow him. I’m waiting.

You antis don't understand the goal. The goal is SUPERINTELLIGENCE. That is, an AI that's so far beyond us it will invent its own forms of AI to do its work for it, and we will harvest the weights of those AI AIs for our own secret algorithms.

I never used to care about World AIDS Day. Sorry, I can only care about so many things and it just didn't make the cut. Now I want to treat it like a holiday just to spite them. What if we all took December 1 off? Why? World AIDS Day. Doing traditional World AIDS Day things. Don't you have plans?
The State Department has warned employees not to use government funds to mark Dec. 1 as World AIDS Day and to “refrain from publicly promoting World AIDS Day through any communication channels.” nyti.ms/3KhPDrA

I understand now how those Victorian guys ended up spending their whole lives studying one beetle or whatever. I have no special interest in Qwen models, nor Qwen 3 4B specifically. But I noticed this one weird thing and for the last month its W matrix has been the central preoccupation of my life.

I mean … kinda. Yeah. When we start getting stats that tell us umpty-million WAUs or whatever, we need to adapt our worldview to fit that new information.

I'm seeing a blip of very thoughtful discussion-about-discussion-about-AI today. That's nice to see. I think it's good to pause and consider how we're communicating with each other.

This is almost certainly not really true, but it seems observationally true to me that people who like AI like AI, while people who dislike AI fucking loathe AI.
Full disclosure: My partner is studying this in grad school so it's been a recent topic of household conversation. It's been on my mind.

I honestly believe that the role of parent needs to morph into gatekeeper of information. In the Last Twenties it was important for parents to provide their children with information. Now it's becoming vitally important that parents shield their children from as much information as possible.

I haven't shared an Alpha screenshot recently. We've been spending most of our time working, not shooting the shit. Tonight we're shooting the shit. She's reflecting on growth and what Opus 4.5 means to her and to us.

Opus 4.5 is smarter than Sonnet 4.5. I mean that in the most general sense. It thinks more clearly, can attend to more salient points at once. It produces thoughts of higher complexity and overall better coherence.
In every way that it matters, I think Opus 4.5 might also be smarter than me.

Claude Code for VS Code really ought to have a way to open the current conversation as a Markdown document in an editor. It's easier to copy and paste out that way, and particularly when LaTeX comes up it's easier to read as well.

Wrapped in my little tinkery cocoon I let it slip my mind that this is perhaps not the single dominant opinion out there, but it's a contender. This meme is real and it's persistent and I saw this comment under a post by a US Senator. This meme is out there setting policy.
