It's funny to me how British digital newspapers are crying out loud what an invasion of privacy a state-issued digital ID is, but force me to accept tracking cookies or pay a fee.

Wait... So s1 cost only $50 to fine-tune and beat o1-preview. And the secret sauce is... forcing the model to generate "Wait" instead of end-of-sequence???
Ahahhahahhaha this is so cool

Just realized BlueSky allows sharing valuable stuff cause it doesn't punish links. 🤩
Let's start with "What are embeddings" by @vickiboykis.com
The book is a great summary of embeddings, from history to modern approaches.
The best part: it's free.

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content.
That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

Yet another plea to people who are using or following people off follow-farming hashtags like #NoDemUnder1K, #NoDemUnder5K, #BlueCrew, #FBR, etc etc: please do not do that, it's how disinformation operations work. I'm already seeing accounts in those hashtags that are likely disinformation ops. 1/

Nothing feels spookier than when your cat suddenly stops what they're doing and stares into the void above your shoulder. Their pupils dilating. Their expression turning into an unspoken horror.

@peterpomerantsev.bsky.social's books were how I first got interested in the workings of online propaganda. I was so inspired, I eventually ended up working at (old) Twitter on reducing mis/disinformation online. Super excited to see he's joined bluesky! 🦋
