it's so cute to see so many people getting into their archlinux + nvim + terminal-only setups. i remember those days fondly 10+ years ago and i mean it when i say cute, i love it that it's becoming mainstream now, so much to learn and OH SO FUN
starting today, building systemsculpt in public. one video every day in 2025, showing you exactly how I'm making ai note-taking and PKM better just dropped the first one ⬇️
Happy New Year! 🎊🎆 May all your New Year’s resolutions continue through successfully throughout the entirety of 2025.
now that i think of it, Anthropic waiting til after the New Year to release Sonnet 3.7 or whateverthefuck - THAT'S a power move "ending as king of 2024, starting as champion of 2025"
Unironically, LLMs. The speed of iteration pretty much 100x’d. especially with the more sophisticated math models o1/o1 pro.
Whats causing the seemingly rapid improvement in humanoid robotics all of a sudden?
The funniest part is going to be that they will be so agile, people who will want to knock them over or deface them… won’t be able to They’ll be too mobile / self-correcting for any actual damage apart from maybe motor oil + sand + black paint, gunfire, etc (ACTUAL damage)
i feel like most people are not prepared for millions or even billions of autonomous humanoid robots to start walking around in the next few years things will be very different from what they are today x.com/dhanushisrad/s…
i mean, we all understand that the only way to combat this, is to find a cure, right? there's no "regulating" this, or fixing this, you're not "fixing" microplastics we can only create some sort of "cleanse" or cure once health detriments become more severe

tldr; openai is restructuring to become a public benefit corp to raise more funding for agi, while boosting the nonprofit's resources for charitable work. goal: balance profits, stakeholders, and mission "to ensure agi benefits everyone". so we're getting ClosedAI and OpenAI.
OpenAI's Board of Directors is evaluating our corporate structure with the goal of making a stronger non-profit supported by the for-profit’s success. Our plan would create one of the best-resourced non-profits in history. openai.com/index/why-our-…
today we got an open source (nearly) free sonnet 3.6 / o1 level (surpassing them in some instances) deepseek v3 finishing off 2024 with a nice loud and long whale call
wow, @warpdotdev's new Next Command feature is a HUGE speedup, it's really accurate, even accounts for all of my aliases and randomness in my everyday workflow "this is the worst it will ever be" i can't imagine how this feature will blossom in the next updates. 10/10 already
you ever stumble upon a very niche piece of the internet, see unfathomable things going on where people are obsessed about some specific thing, and wonder "how do these people make enough money for them to have so much time to spend arguing about these things?"
this is what o3 is doing rn in case you’re wondering
my strong belief is that you can scale the most clunky piece of shit algorithm to agi and beyond and then ask it how intelligence actually works and realize you built a massive 40’s style ugly vacuum tube mainframe and the asi patiently explains that transistors exist
After almost 10 years of not using Reddit, I decided to create an account there today and see if I’ve been missing out on any alpha in my interests One word answer: NOPE
This is the scariest tweet I’ve ever read. Good scary, but scary.
We announced @OpenAI o1 just 3 months ago. Today, we announced o3. We have every reason to believe this trajectory will continue.

they realized that the audience they were pandering to with limitations/restrictions weren't using their releases to begin with
what changed with Google. They are literally killing it with the releases
i'm in a mental dilemma; - if openai doesn't release gpt 4.5 or whatever (their response to claude's sonnet 3.6 current dominance), i'm bearish on them BUT ALSO - if anthropic doesn't release something to outperform o1/an even better sonnet 3.6/opus 3.5, then im bearish too...
sometimes when I use gpt-4o by mistake, the response feels worse than what I'd have expected back in the gpt-3.5-turbo days
We still make beautiful things, they’re just so small you need an electron microscope to appreciate their structural beauty
We used to create such beautiful things, now we make rap songs about drugs and pu$$y.

Thanks for reaching out. Do you mind if I share this email on social media to gauge the reaction from our community?

I am Alexandra from Bending Spoons, the biggest European app developer and publisher.

I know what I am going to say may sound crazy and catch you off guard. How ridiculous would it be to discuss Bending Spoons potentially acquiring Obsidian?

Obsidian actually listens to its users, which has fostered a tight-knit vibrant community. We like products with strong fundamentals and would love to explore the possibility of being part of Obsidian's journey. Do you hate the idea? Let me know if you are available for a short call to discuss more about it.

To be clear, we're for the long term. We'd truly appreciate being on your radar and building a connection.
Still the case to this day I gauge this by which model I use for writing and coding in Cursor (without doing the usage-based pricing BS regarding trying to use o1 models in Cursor) So yeah sonnet is still king
Cant believe OAI has let sonnet 3.5 be the best (not inference scaled, but even that in many areas) model on the market for so long
the winner of the "native multimodality" wars is going to be the first model that can tap in to the latest web results from personal testing the leaders in this space are google obviously, and SURPRISINGLY, grok chatgpt's search is 3rd place for me rn
ok im consistently hitting 7 minute thinking times with o1 pro, that means we're REALLY cooking, the results are immaculate tbh
ChatGPT Search vs xAI's Grok search. The results speak for themselves. Holy fuck what a difference in accuracy and conciseness.

every morning I wake up and am sad again after finding out there are no new online models via API other than the old Perplexity 3.1 / Sonar stuff such an easy W for whoever releases this. though I must say, OpenAI is quite primed for this, just make ChatGPT's "Search" API-ready
llama-3.3-70b is an absolute beast. not enough people talking about it imo. so accurate, follows guidelines and rules so well, rarely defects from its expected outputs. amazing.
if you are prototyping a business idea and it's taking you more than one week to have a good rough version to test out with yourself and your friends, then you are not up to speed with how fast development is these days
ok and now it's a love-only relationship after I got near instant support in the DMs and got my developer profile turned on by them absolutely amazing experience so far. you can just do things

So I have a love and hate relationship with @GroqInc - long story short, I wish their developer tier finally came out so I can buy credits or whatever so that it's finally reliable rather than being randomly limited since there's only a free tier.
If you're using OpenRouter, make sure that you are setting quantizations to BF16 and then down from there so that your requests are always hitting the best available version, even if it may be a little bit slower. The results difference speaks for itself.
