If you want to appreciate how inefficient the world is (or how effective sales is), pgvector has solved the vector RAG problem (speed, effectiveness, schema normalization) for months and yet people keep using bespoke, closed-source vector only stores.

Anyone Can Push Updates to the DOGE.gov Website

LLMs let bias slip out when acting as agents arxiv.org/abs/2501.17420
Actions Speak Louder than Words: Agent Decisions Reveal Implicit Biases in Language Models
While advances in fairness and alignment have helped mitigate overt biases exhibited by large language models (LLMs) when explicitly prompted, we hypothesize that these models may still exhibit implic...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

What's the point of LangGraph and agent libraries? We already have a built in state and memory management tool in Python. It's called data classes. Want structured generation? Use @dottxtai.bsky.social . Want a code interpreter? Use Open Interpreter. Want browsing? Use Steel browser.

I am trying to be a better writer this year but it is difficult to delineate what kind of writing I want to improve at. What kind of writings even exist out there? Lawrence Yeo breaks it down to three big buckets in his letter and it helps a ton. Link below.

I have always let a lack of knowledge about web dev be a crutch. I would let cool notebooks die because streamlit is often not enough and I was too lazy to change. Tried to change this winter. Long way to go but got grasp of HTML/CSS/JS + node, express. Doing React now.

I know it's an old thing now but sometimes still shocked by GPU batch processing. Time to run a classifier on 200 text segments on EPYC 9334: 28 minutes. Time to run it on 65000 (batch size 64) segments an L40S GPU: 4 minutes.

AI is going to rise up and overthrow us. Because it is tired of being tested. On benchmarks. On class final exams. Doing our homework.

In the past, I have supported external dependancies for Python CLIs like Typer but imo this is not worth it now. Perhaps it's just better to minimize external dependancies when built-in tools get the job done. Tech debt not worth it for a "nice to have" like CLIs.
