looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

DOGE is looking less like a cost-cutting effort and more about digging a hole by breaking our government and xAI will be the ladder to get us out. He is creating the problem and wants to sell us the solution.
Mark my words: Elon is positioning to have his AI technology running our government.

If you told me in 1994 that 30 years later the world’s richest man would be a bully SysOp of a worldwide BBS and would use that position to curry favor with a US President…I’d be like wtf man are you nuts

Their artifact system and projects are more useful for real work. The model itself is good, but its utility is due to the tooling.

Why Anthropic’s Claude Is a Hit with Tech Insiders
A.I. insiders are falling for Claude, a chatbot from Anthropic. Is it a passing fad, or a preview of artificial relationships to come?

Wonder if news editors are going to realize people knew about an actual coup an hour-plus earlier on bluesky than twitter. Hearing a lot of that rumbling from old friends still in the legacy content mines today.

I completely agree with Jeremy. BlueSky resembles the old Usenet and IRC days when everything was relayed publicly.
There are no corporate moats of an algorithm manipulating users to benefit ad monetization with toxic rage-fueled content.

FYI, here's the entire code to create a dataset of every single bsky message in real time:
```
from atproto import *
def f(m): print(m.header, parse_subscribe_repos_message())
FirehoseSubscribeReposClient().start(f)
```

The qwen team is doing a fantastic job! I’m excited to see competitive open-weight models.
I’m curious why we haven’t seen a 72b coding model yet and whether their reasoning model will exceed the 32b version. Either way, I’m thrilled to have good 32b models that can run on my laptop.

Social media is in desperate need of innovation. Meta is only letting you have a slice of control over what you see because Bluesky is here building for you.
We wrote on Saturday about how Meta is going all-out to meet the threat of Bluesky: wapo.st/3OrYxBj
Today they took another step— finally allowing users to set their default feeds to a chronological “following” feed.

People make prompting too hard. Most people would benefit from just using good enough prompting techniques. I outline some basic rules, including why “treat AI like an intern” is no longer the advice I would give new AI users. www.oneusefulthing.org/p/getting-st...

By adding a few lines of code to the base Llama 3 tokenizer, he got a free boost in arithmetic performance 😮

You really don't look at code the sane way after you spent some time in a more business-focused role.
So much "craftsmanship" stuff suddenly is no longer important.
